I think you did a great job in TN, Pat. Even though we were only a few to a table, it made for some good conversation.

I agree Pat, it wasn’t perfect but still a good meet and greet. Mrs and I plan on being there, and on a long shot car may be there.

I’m definitely going and the flights are all booked. Wish I was closer in terms of bringing a car. My 70 W31 bench seat 4 speed. 3.91’s and too far to drive from Vancouver.

OCA Nats in Gettysburg

Hi all !
It is so nice to finally have the OCA Nats back near the east coast again and look forward to seeing fellow ClassicOlsmobile members there. My club the DVOC got a letter this week regarding some confusion regarding the welcome party. Due to a miss print some people were notified the it was Wednesday night, others Thursday night. Based on the letter we received it has been confirmed that it is Thursday night so I wanted to get the word out to you all ! Here is the correspondence we had received from Darlene at the OCA.

Yes Tom, we have noticed this discrepancy as well. The most recent registration forms correctly indicate that the opening night at the Visitor's center is to be held Thursday evening. Additional changes to the March registration will include color choices for shirts and the price for the Friday ladies day at the Dobbins House is I believe to be $25.
Thanks
Darlene

Dear Sir or Madam,
Some confusion on the various websites, and registration forms (JWO and online) - some have the welcome night on Wed Aug 1 and some on Thurs Aug 2. Which is correct?
Thanks,Tom AukzemasVP, Delaware Valley Olds club

I am willing to pay a fee of $150.00 ($75 for each trip) for pick up on July 31 and drop off at airport on Saturday, August 4th.

Cell: 850-443-6877 eastern time zone. Please call after 11:00 AM

That sounds like a good time, Dave. I was thinking at first that we could do it but I think we won't arrive until Wednesday. I will check for sure with my scheduler (wife) I'll call you if that would work. Looks like Harrisburg airport is about 1 hr away? I hope I get to meet you there either way, Greg

Dave, looks like we are going to be there on Tues the 31st, and are leaving on Sat the 4th. Is it just you? We will have the convertible and our luggage. I will give you a call tomorrow if we can do it. I think it would be fun to meet you. A bunch of my friends are Olds retirees. Greg

Well, it's getting closer. I sent in my registration probably a month ago but still haven't got back any confirmation. Have any of you? They have cashed my check so at least I know they got it. I checked again with the Wyndam and they say I'm good. Got the a/c fixed ( I hope) and am going to take the 71 Vert. Looking forward to it, last one we went to was Springfield. Glad to hear your'e getting together a dinner, Pat. Linda and I will be there. I think this will be a really good time and a great place.

I phoned a while back to make sure our rooms were still confirmed and everything was a go on their end at the hotel. We are way out west so won’t be taking any cars but are flying instead. Should be a blast. I get out to the Hershey swap meet and love this part of the state. Al

The annual drag race will be held Friday evening at Mason Dixon Dragway. John Stolpa of Rocket Racing will attend the meet, race with us, and talk about his race block and other performance parts. He will also discuss his restoration engine building program.

With deepest regret, I will have to step away from leading the C.O. meeting. I will have the entire family with me and those duties come first! We will be there later in the evening on Wednesday and the next day dedicated to an actual vacation day with cleaning the car. Friday is 60% dedicated to Judging.

Hey John I have been the swap meet guy for about 7 months now and no one told me that I need to send confirmation information to the vendors so that's why you and everyone else never received it.
If anyone else has questions on whether I receive their information or not please feel free to give me a call. 317-727-7041.

Sorry Scott, I wasn't really throwing a stone, I was just making a statement... As you know, there was a check issue on the part of OCA's Bank (Bank of America) and not hearing any status until receiving my bank statement I was unsure of any real confirmation... Now I know all is good... Thank you for assisting in addressing the issue...

I will be there with my 72 Cutlass Convertible. I just reupholstered my seats last year with the Legendary Rallye Seat kits. I'm looking forward to cruising up from lower PA. And of course I'm a DVOC member too!!

Actually, today is the last day to register your car for judging. You can register the day of the show, but you won't be judged.
