Post by: 1MOTIME on July 20, 2009, 10:36:38 PM: I had been planning on attending this judging clinic..but either due to good luck or bad luck..It was good luck that I rec'd my First Junior award at a National AACA show, and bad luck that my 14 year old daughter wants me to take her and my car to the Hershey meet the very same time as the judging clinic so that she can visit the Hershey Museum. I don't guess this is bad luck though, cause I have been trying to get her to attend a car show with me for several years! :-\ ???

Any idea of the quoted rate?

He must have had them block out a bunch of rooms - most of the travel deal sites show no rooms available 7/29th, So direct contact will be a must if your staying there

Post by: Laurie S. on July 30, 2009, 01:56:40 PM: Just called, and they have very few rooms. There's a border collie tournament going on at the same time. I'll have to sneak away for that since I just started agility training with my border collie.

Post by: Laurie S. on July 30, 2009, 06:37:53 PM: The dog tournament that weekend will be a big draw and likely is taking up a lot of the rooms around there.

Post by: buckeyeresto on July 30, 2009, 10:20:22 PM: Not gona be their because of Hershey been going their since I been 1 year old... can't mis it... and my 4 chocolate field spots would be vacant. And I got to find parts for my original 32 roadster... but you guys gota bring back the mca tech inspection for a year to avoid waiting in line for tech... thats such a boring drag.. just my opinion
Title: Re: 2009 MCA Judge's Meeting - Oct 10-11, Juneau, WI
Post by: Laurie S. on July 30, 2009, 11:04:35 PM: We don't do a technical inspection, and haven't for several years. It's a classification inspection to ensure the cars are in the right class. I thought I had read somewhere that you can get a classification for a year.

Where are you flying into? Could make a big difference, get in at 11, bags and rental car 11:45-12, drive an hour or so - so your there at 1 pm??

Agenda is still in the works (need to call Charles since I just go back this morning) so I can not report for sure if you will miss the very important ;) stuff. And of course if your not I wouldn't put it in public since others would choose to be a little late also :(

Post by: 1MOTIME on August 10, 2009, 11:53:44 PM: I was going to fly in to Milwaukee.....I could also leave on Friday night about 9 PM my time..and the drive is about 11 hours. I am afraid that I would be VERY tired if I did this and might fall asleep duiring the clinic.

I hope Charles Turner sees this and will send me an email about the schedules. I would rather fly in if I am not going to miss very much of the very important topics.

I would think you'd be missing quite a bit. If you want to get the most out of the meeting, plan to be there Friday for the meet & greet.

It was just a wonderful weekend! You all did a professional job and for those unable to be there, we missed you and you missed a great Mustang event.
