I’m new to the group and excited to be a junior member of the family. Our family is now proud owners of a very well maintained 1951 Ford Custom 4 Door, purchased from a family who suddenly lost their father to cancer. Betty as call her, runs like a top and shows like a diamond, a testament to the love and care provide by her past caretakers. We are making sure we have the right oil, checking the brakes, reading everything we can on the year, including reading the judging guide lines to insure we do her proud and carry on the heritage and love that has been passed on to us to improve and preserve.
That brings me to my questions concerning the upcoming event in Grand National Event in South Lake Tahoe. We very much would like to have Betty inspected by the experts and meet with you all.
We’ll be traveling from the Bay Area and I’ve read the V8 Times, scanned the Website documents, reviewed the forms and list of activity and events but I’m not seeing any information on the logistics of the even. If anyone can point me to the information I’d bet grateful.
Logistic Questions
1)Is there a sponsoring Hotel with a group rate or do we make our own arrangements?
2)Where will we be gathering for the daily events?
3)Parking of our Early Fords in the Evening… (will there be a secured site)
4)Is anyone in the Bay Area organizing a caravan to the venue?
a.If not anyone interested in forming a Bay Area Caravan?
i.Not sure how we’ll make the grade up and down but like to talk it over with the group experts as to what to expect, etc.
5)If one trailers their Vintage Ford will parking be available for the trailers?
6)Are pets allowed at the event?
I thank you for your time and consideration,
Look forward to meeting with you all.

You can email the Registration Commitee at: v8goldenjubilee@gmail.com
I think that you would enjoy belonging to either Group. They hold regular meetings and have several tours throughout the year.

If you are planning on attending please be advised that you can just show up, BUT you must be registered to participate in the events -- like getting Betty inspected/judged.
To get the SPECIAL hotel rates, you will need to register first so that you can have the code for the hotel. That is why there is no information about that.
I hope to be there with my '35 fordor sedan and judging '35/'36's but I would like to stop by and meet you and Betty
