carrfixr Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 I may have missed a change somewhere but earlier it was said that - " The trailer parking will be split, with brass car parking at the airfield location and others at a location approx. 3-4 miles away" - having my driving direction in hand from the registration packet that I received it only gives directions to the Princess Anne Rd Location - just wanted to be sure which parking location to go to. I am not bringing a brass era car btw. Thank youHi Keith,i believe it was originally set up that way then changed to all trailer parking at the museum. that was great news for me, no shuttling and safer etc...

Guest Mark McAlpine Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Mitch is correct--all of the trailer parking is at the Military Aviation Museum, the site of the Meet. The Tidewater Region looks forward to seeing everyone next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mark McAlpine Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 We have over 400 vehicles registered for the Meet (and hope that every one of them makes it!). Right now the weather is looking great for the Meet on Saturday--the forecast is for clear weather and temperatures in the low 70s. We hope everyone has a safe trip and look forward to seeing all of you later this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE A Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Restorer, you can get it out there in your area... I am looking forward to a real crab cake...not what we get up here, which is nothing more than a deviled crab!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey McChesney Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Dave A,My personal choice for local crab cakes: Surf Rider, or Lynnhaven Fish House. Both will have chunk backfin crab and minimum filler!Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearsFan315 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Looks to be a GREAT show...Antique Cars and Vintage Aircraft !! If you have NOT been to the Military Aviation Museum it is a Must see !! It is worth the trip alone. Could spend a day just looking and reading about the planes on site. It is a Rural Area where the show is, which is a pro and con. There is not a lot around there other than Farmland !! I will be there supporting the event, and Volunteering to support the Region AACA hosting the event. Even if you are NOT showing a car, Come to see the Cars on display as well as the Planes !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnniesSS Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Any locals... Can you recommend a good restaurant for dinner? Thanks ahead of time :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearsFan315 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 AnniesSS all depends on what you are in the mood for ?? Seafood seems to be the choice of those traveling here to the Oceanfront I have been here all 40 years of my life, and will gladly throw out some options IF you know what you are looking for and Price level. Some really nice places but run $50 a person, we hit all the mom and pop shops or hole in the walls as I call them. small quaint and superb food and service !! I go for the burgers or steak, wife looks for the seafood.I am ecstatic to say the least and ready for the show this saturday, looking for 70's and sunny !! Did a dry run this saturday and things went well, so we are ready for the show and everyone attending, both showing and visiting !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philip roitman Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Restaurant reccomendations, good weather, 400 antique cars, and airplanes. The wife and I are super excited to be attending our 1st meet and seeing it all. We are leaving Wednesday morning and arriving in Va. Beach in the afternoon. My best friend will be bringing the car Friday, just getting some details attended to. Did I forget to mention the Beach and Boardwalk. I do not think I could have picked a better 1st event to attend except for maybe Hershey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC Fuhrman Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Silly question maybe but will there be directions to the show field once I arrive at the hotel? Driving my entry no trailer.

MattDoscher Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yes the registration or hospitality folks at the host hotel should have directions from the host hotel to the show field available to those that need it.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest my3buicks Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 All my friends keep asking when I am leaving, I tell them when ever I can find a 7 hour window in the weather - as of now leaving at 6 AM which should be dryish here and getting in VB 2 PM which looks to be dryish. But like the weather, that could change instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
