What's the matter, Tony, are you afraid to drive your car?  Big smile
 
I bet I put at least that many miles on the AMX. I actually had to fill it up before I even left! I think quite a few of my miles were sideways so they might not count on the odometer correctly!

Maybe the Amc Forum should team up and gather on 1-2 Hotels/motels that are close together.  Now we have enought time to reserve  rooms.

It would be great to talk to ppl from the board a little more,
as just run into them at the showfield or the cruises.
Sorry i got distracted too... LOL Too much AMC input.

Hey Lee, if i ever bring a AMC Car to Kenosha (with German Plates),
I will challenge you at the Great Lakes Dragstrip.. Wink 

You dont have to go WOT, so my chances are better LOL

I'll be there with my AMX!   Was there in 2014 but the AMX was a shell of its former self at the time... literally, so it didn't get to make the trip. 

I met Holger and a few of the other great folks there, but I was just finding my way around and it sounds like I missed most of the evening fun. Sounds like most of it was at the Executive Inn!  Anyway, it was a great venue and I wouldn't miss it!  This time I promise not to be so timid.

Gotta see if I survive Rockford first though I guess.

I will have you know that I can get pictures of my car at the local dragstrip very easily.  They have a big show and shine there every year!  Big smile

in the defense of HAVE 2SCs   we have attended many shows Rogue343 and myself that my car was the ONLY ONE on a trailer.   the 02 Rambler all because they didn't want to wait for the 24 mph to get there to the show. LOL and I can assure you they drive the cars often. :)

I second that thought.  As a minimum it would be nice if someone who is more familiar with the motels in the area would comment on the pros and cons of what's available.  The last time I was at the Homecoming was 2011 and I'm sure the accommodations have changed somewhat.  As to the event, it was GREAT!  Unless the wife or I die, I'll be there.  One thing I'm doing is making a nametag with my forum name and given name so people at least can tell who I am.  They did that the one time I was at GAD and it was very helpful to put a face to a name.

Can't help it, I'm just vibrating with excitement!

Tony, what is the harborside? Sounds like a bad experience? Thanks, Patrick
I had reservations at the BW Harborside a year in advance and they cancelled them on me 2 weeks before I was leaving to get there. "Renovations weren't completed". I heard they had corporate reservations they HAD to honor so thye just killed all of us like we were nothing. Meant I had to scramble for a room  that was a 15 minute drive away instead of right downtown where everything was going on. BRUTAL customer service...


Same thing happened to us, reservations cancelled a month before the show. I vowed never to return, but... after landing at the ghetto Knights Inn of Racine, fearing for our lives, and having to pay for one night just for going into the room to use the phone to find another hotel... we plan to return to the BW Harborside anyway.

The issue at the last homecoming was they were renovating the hotel at HS.  The time before that was an issue with trailer parking. ( they don't allow trailers)   With a little luck this time ( 2017) all will go well ...
I like it there because it's close to the park where the show is and right on the water....
