2011 Buick Performance Group T Party - July 29, 30, 31st 2011 Flyer attached

[phillyturbosix]

Don't forget guys the host hotel was sold out last year for this year, but now is the time to get on the waiting list for them again for any cancellations! They typically don't take any reservations till after the first of the year at this hotel.

The year of the TTA is here now! 1/1/11 Call and get on their waiting list now! In years past I even got lucky calling them a few weeks before and keeping on them on a weekly basis and scored rooms right up till the day before the event.

The management there are all good people and will keep you on a list and contact you as rooms become available. There is plenty of hotels in the area as well but it's always fun at the host hotel! I can't wait for July!!

Also now is the time to join up with the BPG and save some money on your admission tickets for this event!

Tta reunion event trailer parking information....

The Buick Performance Group recommends that trailers should be left at the track. We have arranged once again with National Trail to provide overnight armed security with trailer drop off starting on Thursday. In order for a trailer to be removed after hours you will need to provide a drivers license and registration for the trailer that matches. That information will be written down. I will be posting any updates on this....

The hotel parking lots are too small for trailers no matter what hotel you stay in! Keep the hotel lots open and clear by leaving trailers at the track for the weekend. I would recommend arriving when the track is open and going right to the track when you get in town and drop off your trailer. Then go to the hotel and check in. You can always get a wrist ban to let you back in the track if your there and going to leave so you only have to pay one time that day. You'll see some guys take their trailers to the hotels and it's nothing but issues trying to maneuver a trailer in those tiny parking lots needless to say you'll get boxed in there with a trailer.

So get in early go right to the track and drop off your trailer. Just be mindful of where you drop it off and be careful not to park in marked off areas. Typically the BPG will spray paint reserved parking areas on the asphalt around the track. If you pull into the track and head toward the back there is plenty of parking for a trailer back there and no one around to bother it. The track is going to be packed this years event so come in early!

I got a great phone call today! The editor from High Performance Pontiac called me and they want to do a article on the event!! They were on the fence for awhile about running something on the event after it happens but even they are hearing about the buzz that is in the air about the event! While it's costly to bring a photographer up from Tampa where they are from, I'm going to have a few photographers at the event shooting some really good stuff for them. So shine those TTA's up and make them look pretty because your car just might make High Performance Pontiac!!
