Old Town
Is there going to be a central point for forum members to hang out next week. I met Frankie and Mike Terry last year. I sure would like to meet others and see some of the local cars. I'll be there Thursday and Friday. We are going to Daytona on Saturday.

I've never heard of a designated spot, where Forum members meet at Old Town.
I'll be on spaces 54-55-56, from Wednesday till Saturday, (I'm going to Daytona for the end of the 24 on Sunday). My spaces usually end up being a gathering spot, for a lot of guys down from NJ, PA & NY, as well as some transplanted Northeners. Not all of them are Forum members, by some are. I also seem to be a popular stop among members of the Central Jersey, and the Del Val Chapters of the NCRS.
Feel free to stop by and say hi, we're a friendly bunch! Below is a link to a map of the Old Town swap spaces.

I'll be driving up from South Florida on Friday morning to meet Forum members in order to put faces with names. I'll stop by Mike Terry's space, gbvette62's space, and mark6669's space, and will look for Ara on the judging field. I look forward to meeting you guys in person and other CF & NCRS members, too!

Where is a good place to stay that is close by the event, (like walking distance)? I've never been to old town so I don't know the lay of the land. I'd like to come down as well. My old '65 is being auctioned on the 24th and I'd like to see it. I realize it's late but you never know, something really close might be available.

I stayed at the seralago last year...best price and they still had rooms as of yesterday. It's a 1960's era motel, a little dated but decently maintained.
I am trying the tropical palms resorts which is on the south side of the judging field about the same distance as the Seralago and about the same price. They are cottages instead of motel rooms.
All the chain hotels are full in the area.
the address of the tropical palms is 2650 Holiday Trail. They rate 4 stars on orbitz and the Seralago is 3.

Does anybody know if they are going to have a day with Corvette Only parking across from the judging field for visitors ? I have gone on that day (Sat IIRC) the last two years in the '61 and got prime parking...
