San Antonio National Convention Registration Ends June 1st

[Bob D.]

Folks

There is less than a month left to register for the NCRS Convention in San Antonio. The Texas Chapter is planning a really party on the River Walk. There will be displays of Corvette race cars as well as a 427 Mystery Motor. GM is planning to bring several cars from the heritage collection and we even have a special mystery guest lined up for the reception. Those interested can have their picture taken with our guest for a small fee. The fee for the photo will benefit the NCRS Foundation. There is also still plenty of room in the convention center for more Year of the '67 display cars and for Sportsman. We're planning quite the Fiesta in San Antonio. Y'all come!!

Re: San Antonio National Convention

Question concerning registration for the convention.
My work schedule will not allow me to attend all days of convention, but I do hope to play "hooky" one day & come down (I'm in Austin) to see displays, cars, etc.
Is it possible to purchase just a one-day registration on site? If so, what will cost be for myself & possibly my wife (if she can play hooky,too!)

Thanks

Richard,

Daily door walk-in fee to see the cars is $10 per person.

Bob/Gary, Sorry if I missed the obvious....

I registered the other day and will be there for the entire event. I looked in the Calendar here on our site for Tech Session signup info but not there. I just checked my confirmation emails but nothing there either.

Is there a 'Online' List of Tech Sessions or solely listed in the Driveline Schedule. I see it'll be in my packet when I get there, but can I/We sign up for Tech Sessions in advance or just at the "gate"? I'm particularly interested in Jim Gessner's Session and maybe some others.

Yes there is a place on the on line registration to sign up. No worries though you will be able to come into the sessions as the rooms are large enough.

Thanks Guys, I admit I rushed through the online registration so it's my own fault I missed it. Sorry.

I'm arriving Saturday and helping a friend with 5 cars to prep and stage. If you should need any help let me know as I'll have some free time during the week.

My presentation is 95% complete. I am pleased to advise that DAVE MORGAN from Tulsa will join me with DAVEY JORDAN from Southern California. TONY DELORENZO may also be on stage in our ''SITTEN AROUND THE CAMPFIRE'' discussion and slide presentation of GLORY YEARS of ROAD RACING 1956-1972.

Another neat surprise is the 1967 MORGAN-YENKO L-88 RACE CAR will be featured at convention. Great history.......Great friends...........Great Corvettes.

DAVEY JORDAN raced the JIM GARNER A.I.R 1968 L-88 car with Scooter Patrick at DAYTONA 24 hours in 1968. You will enjoy his vast racing history, most of witch was with PORSCHE products

Re: San Antonio National Convention Registration Ends June 1st

Perhaps someone could point out the relationship of the $10 per day to "see the cars" fee and the ludicrous $185 registration price? $75 for a Regional seems in the ballpark.

I don't know for sure, but the $10 day pass is pretty standard for a walk-in at a National. As for the registration cost; it's probably due in large part to the expense of renting the facilities for a week. Judging by the cost of hotel rooms, I think the Riverwalk area of San Antonio is quite a pricey place to visit. Just a guess.
If the costs stretch you thin, give me a wave when you see me in the bar and i'll buy you a whiskey.

Loren, I've heard that in Texas everything is Bigger.

Seriously, I cringed a little when I saw the fee too but I want to go to the tech sessions and maybe a seminar or two and learn more. Plus it may be high due to the high cost of the facility, etc.
