Hershey MidEngine Invasion, A happening Event... Options

[r_towle]

Hi,
This is the First Annual MidEngine Invasion at Hershey...the largest Porsche only swap meet and soon to be the largest 914 attended event....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Its in Hershey PA.
We decided to invade Hershey at both the Swap meet and the AutoX on Sunday.
This is an event that has been going on now for 3 decades and its time we invaded.

The simple plan is as follows.
The Event is on April 25th...
Most people arrive on friday night.
I drive down iron butt and get there at 6:30 am

So,
We will be getting at least 4 spaces to allow us to hang out and have a tent etc.
We will get a single cheap hotel with a bar...Dr Evil is on that.

I have contacted the Central Region PCA group to see if they will allow the following.
A special section for 914 only parking in the corral/show area.
We will have several awards in that area.
A special class for our 914 community (Club and World) with the ability to give out awards....if not we can get the sheets at the end of the autox and figure that out ourselves...
We will have awards one way or another.
Special allowances for V8 cars, typically this region does not allow them...so I am told.

We have a planning forum on the other site so if one of you guyz is attached to the Central region PCA...give me an email or PM to see if we can get a few things done.

The goal is 40 cars. We get 20 at Foleys event and 20 at the ECC....so we should be at 40 if we all commit.

More logistical details will follow as things firm up and I hear info from the Central Region PCA.

Hi,
Right now we are trying to get a decent rate at a hotel that is in the area.
Dr Evil, being the local guy, is visiting a few places so we get a first hand opinion of the hotel, parking, bars, etc etc.

We will try to keep the rate under 100 per night per person.
The rates range from 55-200 so we have alot to choose from.

We should have a firm hotel by the end of this week so people can sign up and book rooms.

We will not block off rooms (Unless you would like to run that on your CC)
We will negotiate a rate that is based upon a certain minimum number of rooms, and based upon confirmation of those rooms by a certain date.

We will publisize all the details by End of Week on our web site...which is in the works...so everyone can see all the details.
