Just recently heard about this event coming in April '24.......TRANS AM TAKEOVER - Branson '24 DRIVER Tickets, Fri, Apr 26, 2024 at 9:00 AM | Eventbrite

I don't EVEN have a car that can drive but my wife signed us up and I'm hoping to have the MSE in Branson!

Oh man, that sounds like a good time. Not too far away even just up here in KC!

Re: Anybody else hear about the Trans Am Takeover?

I'm already booked for 2024 with the T/A Nationals and FirebirdFest.

Perhaps I'm missing something. But I'm not exactly sure what this event IS. The link takes me to a page that doesn't really explain much about what goes on. The only links are to follow the promoter on facebook. And once on facebook, the ABOUT tab is largely blank....it doesn't tell you what the event is. They have a web page, but all you can do is sign up for email alerts. So I start reading through facebook, post after post after post. It appears to be at a nice looking hotel, and I see you can ride in a pink Jeep through the wood. I see a few posts encouraging you to sign up with lots of "hyperbole" (?)...

Brace yourselves
grand spectacle
largest gathering
witness the power, the style, and the sheer adrenaline
iconic cars
roar into town
a celebration of horsepower, camaraderie
legend on the road


....but I still don't know what the event IS. What is the schedule? What are the activities?

Seems they could do a little better job explaining themselves.

Re: Anybody else hear about the Trans Am Takeover?

It's just now being advertised, they aren't even telling us where the actual show parking is just yet. I'm sure details will come out soon enough. If you haven't been to Branson, it's a car show oriented town anyway......not to mention all the other Vegas style shows in town too. And don't forget the outlet shopping mall or Bass Pro!

Re: Anybody else hear about the Trans Am Takeover?

It's been some year...my oldest brother was married there decades ago. We took our trailer and camped at the Stormy Point campground (is that still there?) and we went on and spent a day at Silver Dollar City.

A very tourist focused area...it would be perfect for a car show I'm sure.
