66 Mystery Chevelle Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I only have one question:<P>Will the Richmond Show field have more space between the cars than HERSHEY?<P>I love HERSHEY, but do not like having my car parked so close to the car on each side of me that just opening a door was a nerve racking experience <P>Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I've never worried about another AACA member. Over the years I've always found them to be attentive and careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Mike,<BR>We are allowing space depending on the cars in the particular class. A class with large cars will have 12'-0" of space. My 67 Cadillac is 77"(6'-5") wide. That leaves 67" to the next car if it is a same size car. No, it would be impossible to strike the body of the next car,or have yours struck, now, if both car owners carelessly opened the doors of their 2 door car's all the way at the same time <BR>We will know what car is being parked where when we lay off the field because of the pre-registration.<BR>Believe me we have thought of it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 The Meet on the 15th is at Richmond International Raceway facility, The Host hotel is the Sheraton West for the 13th and14th events. Don't even mention that other meet in PA because we don't want the man upstairs to even think about opening the skies as he does up their quite often.<BR>I think we have him convinced to let the sun shine on us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Big D I'm coming back to Virginny tomorrow and I just heard from home that it was 92 in Montross today with no rain. It's gonna hold! And, if it does I won't have so much grass to cut this year!!!<p>[ 04-16-2002: Message edited by: Dynaflash8 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randjflo60 Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Hello Big D,<P>Will the car trailer parking be near the show field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66 Mystery Chevelle Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 As long as we are asking questions....<P>Is the show field on pavement or grass?<P>Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66 Mystery Chevelle Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Thanks for answering the QUESTION I asked Big D... accidents happen and they happen more frequently when cars are parked very close together as in the large class where I was parked at HERSHEY. and lets not forget, it's usually the public coming through with cameras and baby carriages that are most concerning, not the car owners. Comforting to know that you have taken into consideration this VERY important aspect of any Car Show.<P>Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 The trailers will be on the same field as the show cars. This is the parking area for the Raceway and is grass with crushed gravel lanes that will we will run on until parked and then used as walkways. Since National still has not sent out the information brochure or registrations, as mentioned above go to<BR> <A HREF="http://www.kitchen-art.com/aaca/2002regional.htm" TARGET=_blank>www.kitchen-art.com/aaca/2002regional.htm</A> <BR>and you can get all information including a copy of the brochure.

randjflo60 Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 I received my info packet and registration forms in the mail today. So everybody should be receiving theirs very soon.<P>Thanks for the info Big D. It looks like it's going to be a great show. We are really looking forward to it!!!

Guest Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 UPDATE:NATIIONAL HAS MAILED THE REGISTRATION FORMS AND MEET INFORMATION,RICHMOND AREA RECEIVED OURS TODAY. <BR>Now, Do us a favor, fill them out and mail ASAP, so we will not be too swamped near the May 21st Deadline. Have to do computer and paper work, order T-shirts, order proper # of busses for tours, speaking of tours, the private collection we are visiting Thurs. is worth the trip to Richnond, not to mention the free wiener roast while there. The Richmond Tour Friday AM will give an overview of some of the historical and cultural places in our beautiful city. Be sure and attend the free seminar Fri. night on Southern Red Neck English Culture so we will be able to understand you at the meet on Sat. We think you will like the convenient and organized parking or the trailers on the same field as the show cars and the layout of the show field. So mail those registrations, put on your smiley face, let us do the work, and come on down the road a piece to THE EVENT OF2002. <BR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Dayton:<BR> I received my registration stuff today. All of us Northern Neckers will be coming west on US 360 to get to Richmond. I guess most of the local folk come to Richmond from time to time, but I never have except to take my Dad to MCV. I go I-295 to Florida or I-295 to Charlottesville.<BR> I spent most of my life in No.Va. or Maryland. I've only been to Richmond a couple of times, except for going to MCV. And just think I was giving everybody else directions!!<BR> You don't have US 360 on your map, and I can't figure out how to get to either place, the show or the Banquet. I thought the show was going to be at your usual meet site near Mechanicsville on Laburnam Blvd. Apparently not.<BR> Can you send me directions by email separately or on here on how to get to each place from US 360. I guess I could also come by Rt. 301 toward Ashland off of VA Rt 3.<BR> My email is buickman@crosslink.net<BR> Thanks, Earl Beauchamp<p>[ 04-18-2002: Message edited by: Dynaflash8 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Dayton: I've got a man visiting here who would like to know if there is a Wal-Mart near the show field where he can park his motorhome for Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Earl, There is a Wall Mart Approx. 3-4 miles from the meet field just off I 95 North of Richmond at Parham Rd exit. He could stay in the Raceway RV Parking area for $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Thanks Dayton. He mailed his application from here (Florida) today. It's for a HPOF Cushman Eagle. You should have it in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Even though I've been in AACA close to six years now I've never been to a large meet. It's close by- I'd like to come as a spectator to see what things are about and meet some of you. Is that possible?<P>Thought about trying my 76 Olds' luck but don't know yet if I can get the time off, so decided to not waste the show staff's time and space with a maybe. Probably better to dip toes in the water first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Rocketrader, AACA Meets are open to all members and the general public as well, to visit and be a spectator. ONly members can show vehicles and compete for awards and they must be preregistered on forms obtained from National in Hershey. Should you want to participate in any of the events, we have tours, dinners etc lined up, you would need to call Hershey today to get the form as the entrys must be postmarked by the 22nd. You might especially want to attend the Awards Banquet to see how the awards dispersed etc.. Come on over we would lide to see you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
