National Convention

[Dave K.]

Who else is attending this year? My wife and I are attending so that I can obtain my 300 point Master Judge Award. I will attend a couple of judging schools, obtain my award and take in both Tue and Wed day trips. We plan to see other Palm Springs attractions before we fly back to Pittsburgh. I hope that we can handle the dry heat?

Re: National Convention

My wife and I are attending, traveling by Corvette on the Texas Road Tour, having 3 cars shipped for flight judging. Also getting my 200 pt. stuff, my wife will tab, I will help judge '67s, and as all 3 of my cars are judged the same day, this will be a very busy national for us, no time for any tours or schools.

Re: National Convention

I'll be there but curious about airport shuttle service. I see its a service from the Renaissance but don't see a schedule or how to notify hotel of arrivals. Anyone experience it...yet? And can share?

And what I have learned from living in the South-- light colors are better than dark ones for shirts.

Re: National Convention

I called the Palm Spring hotel...apparently their airport shuttle is not operational at this time. Uber and taxi's are options.
