I just spoke with Gary ay Hendrick Chevrolet in Hoover AL and he said they will be having the car show again but this time they plan to have more room. Everyone can start showing up at 1pm and it runs through the evening. Food truck catering, fire dept, and the Mayor will be in attendance. I believe there will be more activities at the dealer just like last year but I didn't ask. This is on Friday May 26
Perhaps we can all caravan down from Pell City to Hendricks around noonish.

Like Tim said.
I always buy a minimum of 4 sessions every year. I bought 6 one year but could only squeeze in 5. I hope to see this sell out as i want to see it continue every year.
As posted above two weeks ago, Gary at Hendrick told me there were about 120 spots left which equalls roughly 2/3 s sold, 1/3 remaining. I'm sure Mark has the numbers also.

Well I submitted our order back on monday. I haven't heard back from anybody. I then sent a follow up email to the president. Still no reply. I also left a message on their website. No reply. This is highly irregular. I usually get something back the same day. We are also only two weeks out and we haven't seen any schedule for garage assignments yet. Iam assuming they are waiting till the very end to get as many spots filled as possible. Iam actually shocked it hasn't sold yet!

I'm more pumped about this years event over the previous ones because I will be car shopping at Hendricks while we are at the show!! Plus my car is running better then the previous 2 times it's been to Talladega...

I am looking to get there Friday morning. Perhaps we meet at the hotel (Hampton Inn) to go to Hoover.
Friday night dinner -certainly.
I received an email with the company run times. Company assignments will be sent end of this week.

Ok sounds good team...I'll be sure to leave early enough friday to put me there before noon so we can all caravan down to Hoover...even with 4 or 5 of us this should be pretty cool! Tim what exit do I need to find a restaurant near...the one in Hoover? If yes...what exist is that? I'll look around....is everybody good with a Steakhouse type establishment? Like Applebees, Longhorn, Outback, Logans etc?
I heard from Mark Davis....here is the official word from him:
I can tell you that you and your team will line up at 7:30 AM Sat. Track Sessions start at 9 AM.
We will give you your window stickers (Company Sessions, Alpha, Bravo, etc.) Sat morning when you sign in at Talladega.
Again, in a few days you will get your track session assignments.
