How can we get a reservation for the Host Hotel.....I tried and was told the complete Hotel is already booked....? have you blocked the complete hotel and booking yourselves.....?
Hold off on placing any reservations at this point. The hotel is reserved for us, I have a contract and they will start taking reservations when we send the registration out around January 1st, 2021. ..
I will gladly drive the 3000 kilometers to get a free beer from Mike Maloney!

NOTE - Please plan on arriving on Tuesday, June 1st and departing on Saturday, June 5th!
For those of you concerned about border crossings or cancellations/restrictions due to Covid-19:
We have a good cancellation policy for the event itself should the borders remain closed or more restrictions on public gatherings are put in place by the State or Federal government, etc.
If we have to cancel the event due to restrictive State or Federal mandates, we will refund your registration fee (less the cost of any regalia and postage costs incurred in mailing this regalia to you).
As long as you follow the cancellation policy of the hotel you should not suffer a loss there, either.
UPDATE!
We called the Comfort Inn and renegotiated the room rate..
Our new room rate is $98 plus tax per night.
It was previously previously $109/night plus tax.
Also, anyone with an existing reservation will have their room rate adjusted to $98/night plus tax. 😊
UPDATE!
Half of the rooms in our block at the hotel have been reserved.
Please don't procrastinate in making your reservation....or registering for the event.

Had hoped to make it, but not in the cards, as we have a couple of long trips planned in the motor home, and spent some major funds on landscaping and a deck at the house. Y'all have fun!

I've delayed registering for the meet due to health issues. Just got the green light from my Doc.
I look forward to seeing everyone June 1st.
The hotel is full does anyone have an extra bed?
I plan to pull my Runaway trailer so I can sleep in it.

Great to hear that you will be joining us, PJ!
It's getting close. Not sure if we'll have Drew's car driveable in time. Will be down to the wire. If not, we'll both be there in mine (now with sequential port fuel injection).
Looking forward to seeing everyone.
I made my reservation in March; today I called to confirm it, and was told by the clerk that Comfort Suites has no record of my reservation and that the hotel is full. So I made a reservation at the Wingate....
Bummer Larry, See you there
Call them again. There have been a few cancellations. Maybe get on a list.
Larry - I just called to reconfirm my reservation and mentioned I was calling because a buddy (you) was having an issue with their reservation. She asked me your name... They didn't have a reservation for Larry Shimp but, I'm 99.999% sure you do have a reservation... They have a Lawrence Shimt out of Burlington, WI for the BV8 dates... I'm thinking they just got your name spelled wrong 🤣🤣🤣
I believe he called today & grabbed the room that became available due to a cancellation. When I spoke to them earlier today, they only had a Larry from Florida registered.
If anyone would like to check to see if a room has become available the number to call is (260) 645-0304.
One day of rain, the rest sunny and warm.
Perfectly organized, not overly programmed, and great people and cars.
My first with "Beelzebub" the friendly 8 but not my last.
Well done, lads!
What a computer amateur. First I can't post a photo. Then i post it twice!
Had a great time and visit to Auburn. Mike and Jim organized a GREAT Meet. You all missed a fun time and friends also.
This was a stellar event, tip of the hat to Mike and Jim!
Kudos to Mike Moor & Jim Miller! Wonderful Meet, Great bunch o' people!

We had a fantastic time meeting everyone in person. Other than some typical British convertible misery late on Wednesday's drive, everything was fantastic. I'm still puzzling over how an Amish restaurant ended up hosting a gigantic cruise-in, but who am I to judge?
Special thanks to Mike Moor and Jim Miller for their efforts in putting this together. It was a great balance between hanging out and doing more organized things. Let me know when we can do an event in Michigan again and I'll start making calls - "V8s by the Lake" has a nice ring to it. :)
Here is a link to the photographer's website that was at the Essenhaus cruise-in with all the pictures he took. There available for purchase.
