99, you going to show your car? or just attend? join the OCA and then the Alero chapter and put your car in the show.

Silent, get your OCA membership sent in so you can show.

I might fly out there but I dont think I'd drive it lol.

[Silentalero]

well the more support the better

me personally i plan on going.

We have to be members of the OCA right? I should be getting my package from them soon.

I'll be going to this, as it is just across the border. I'd say 6 hrs away.

[King Asoka]

Oldsman

Sounds like a plan, im 23 so the brews are on you! Ill by dinner!

[Oldsman]

it's a plan then king.

yes you have to be an OCA member to show your car.

Like silent said the more support the better. We need to have a decent showing.

For those east coast guys where this drive is too far, there will be a big Olds show in lansing this year. Olds homecoming. no info on this yet.

count me in can`t be too far from us
as soon as i get the money i will join x-mas shopin is killin me here
buy ya count me in

[Oldsman]

great

[Oldsman]

OK i just mailed off me registration for the nats.................yippy

The host hotel is the raddison and the rate is $109 a night. well that is a little much.

There is hotel down the road. that is for $85 a night. So I think I will be staying there. The lot where the cars are parked has security so nothing to really worry about. I think my wife will follow me up in the durango that way we have an extra vehicle so if we want to go site see we can. When I finialize what hotel I will actually be at I'll let you guys know.

Maybe I can set up a block of rooms and try to get a discount or something.

The registration form is on the outside cover of your JWO. For those of you who want to go and show get your OCA memberships in. For those of you who are going just to look and have fun well open invitation.

I already put in for my vacation.

More info to come. So start planning guys.

[Daytona]

Would like to go but already know that I can't due ot conflicts. Have fun, though. And post lots of pics.

I live within 10 miles. Im not sure if my car will be ready for show or not. Is there a cutoff if we want to show?

[Oldsman]

for being judge there is a cut off but after that cut-off then you would be for show only.

i will try to post more info this evening.

[Oldsman]

Only pre-registered cars will be judged. there is a cut-off date but non givin. after that date and drive in cars will be show only.


the hotel i am looking at is the Clarion hotel in bloomington of bridge rd.

There is about 8 hotels within about a 4 block area surrounding hiway 100 and 494.

That hotel should be decent.

[Oldsman]

well i will have the wife and kids, so indoor pool, whirlpool, game room and then there is a lounge there too.

[Oldsman]

here is the hotel i am going to be staying at.

Clarion Hotel Airport
5151 American Blvd. West
Bloomington, MN, US

This hotel is just south of 494 while the nats is just north of 494. so across the interstate from each other.

All are welcome to come. to have your car judged or just show you must be OCA member.

Remember registration and info will be in you JWO.

I'm thinking of show only, don't think the Alero will be judge worthy by then. Is there any cost or free to OCA members?

[Oldsman]

i can't remember the price. it is in you journey with Olds. i filled mine out and sent it so i am sorry i don't have that info.

its usually between $10-$20 to put it in the show. u have to pay the registration fee even if u dont want ot be judged.

scott i may go but im not sure yet. have to see what will be ogin on for the summer. need to find out where and when gap will be and so on........

[Oldsman]

i believe regisrtation is $35.

Sorry to see GAP is more important, sweet. But hey to each is own.
