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.

HOTEL INFORMATION: There are 2 options depending on where you want to be. You can be closer to Hoover Chevrolet for the friday night carshow and banquet or you can be closer to Talladega. Being it appears all of us (with the exception of Tom) are choosing to be closer to Talladega, we are all staying at the Hampton Inn in Pell City. Anyone who wishes to change or hasn't booked their hotel yet, here is the Hampton Inn in Pell Cities information:

Phone: (205) 814-3000 – Address: 220 Vaughan Ln, Pell City, AL 35125.
Just mention you're part of the Vettes4Vets club and they will give you the $99.00 rate for a king or two queen beds.

I wouldn't think so because just recently they still had quite a few sessions left to sell. I would contact Mark Davis I'm pretty sure he can hook you up.

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!

If I remember correctly they ran late last year with the schedule. I'm sure they are busy with last minute stuff I appreciate you getting our group organized and ready to go!!

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'm driving in Thursday and going to Hoover on Friday. I know myself and US ICON are planning on leaving the Hampton around noonish to head to the show. I'm good on getting together to eat Friday night just find us a place somewhere near our exit...

And also looking forward to this years event!!

We're coming in Thursday night (Hampton Inn) and would like to meet and go to Hoover with the group on Friday. The meet and eat sounds good too. Long ride but I'm really looking forward to it......the wife, not so much !! This might be a solo road trip

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:

Your specific track sessions are being finalized. Have BOD Meeting tonight for final on all track sessions.

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.

~Mark
