philip roitman Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) Hi I made a mistake on my registration. Thought I had fridays tour in the registration category after entering 1 for the garage and then I wanted 2 for the friday tour (boat ride) so Instead I must have entered the indoor parking again and ended up with 3 indoor early show parking for Friday instead. Pressed check out by accident. Do I have to call the National office to clear this to make the needed changes? I knew I messed up once I printed and saw the registration. I left a message for the registrar for the meet Pete Romeo. Waiting for a call back. Seems like I had a Senior moment.

HVPR Scott Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 (edited) 4 hours ago, ted sweet said: any thing special for rules since show is inside? when is load in required? when is load out? Hello Ted. All rules are AACA normal with one exception. The Fire Marshall will be checking to verify 1/4 tank of fuel or less in each indoor vehicle. Normal load in is Sat 8/24 8AM - 11AM. Optional load in Friday 2PM to 4PM for overnight indoor parking at an additional $20 per vehicle. You pay for that when you pre-register on the AACA registration page. Load out is 3PM when show judging concludes. Cars must exit the building but are welcome to stay on the property. Trailer parking will not need to be exited until Sunday at you leisure. We look forward to seeing you at the show. Edited June 25 by HVPR Scott (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewisR Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 My brother and I will be staying down the street at the Courtyard Hampton Coliseum Central, and will plan to load in Saturday morning. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a self-serve car wash in the area? We are not trailering, but driving down from Leesburg, so I'll want to get cleaned up early-early Saturday morning. Thanks. Looking forward to the meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During Friday and Saturday load- in, after leaving the trailer parking lot, we will route you a short distance to the front of HRCC where you will receive your dash plaque and registration envelope (if you have not picked it up earlier).

BrianStone Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) Anyone interested in letting my wife and I carpool with you to the Hampton Queen Boat Tour from the Embassy Suites on Friday night? After reading the info today, there is no way our truck will fit in the 6'7" clearance parking garage, and not interested in parking our fully restored truck on the street. Definitely willing to pay.

HVPR Scott Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 We are encouraging all to carpool in a sedan type vehicle. Uber is also an option. There is a pretty big off street lot that is better than the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
