Re: Trans Am Nationals

Good to hear. I'm in the Clarion Hotel only because it was all that was available last year before they canceled. I'm hearing on FB that one of the host hotels is closed cuz of an office fire? It will be good to see you guys with your cars.

Re: Trans Am Nationals

Thanks to a combination of our piece of trash, absolutely worst prime minister in Canada's entire history and the absolutely horrible president you guys are stuck with, boarder stayed closed and none of the Canadians are able to go. This is heartbreaking as this is like Christmas, event of the year.
Have a fantastic time fellas, enjoy the great weather, amazing cars, and all the incredible owners, organizers, and patrons there the weekend. Wish we were there with you, HOPEFULLY next year the boarder will be open.... ugh.
As I am writing this I reflect that had this been like other years, I would be hanging in the parking lot with a drink talking to the other early attendees this same time and day.

Re: Trans Am Nationals

I finally got to the see "ol yeller" but didn't get to meet the creator. Was there an actual Firehawk there over the weekend?

Going. Won't be too bad. They have a large number of rooms done now, and will clear out for the weekend. It will be good.

Re: Trans Am Nationals

I was called yesterday by the host hotel, due to shortage of available rooms ready, I had to take a room at the Windgate for a discounted rate.. Kinda inconvenient...

Host hotel way too busy. It’s best to stay close by and get away from the madness.

Re: Trans Am Nationals

I hoping to be there Friday in time for the US flag photo.

There was an update posted yesterday by Scott Andrews about hotel changes, and most importantly tech insp line in a new configuration. Hopefully there will be signage posted.

TA Nationals group on FB has the update, but I'm not able to post the link here.
