Road trip and Inagural Concourse anyone

The Greenbriar is a VERY nice place. Spouses will love the Dorothy Draper inspired decor. Interesting shopping on site and nearby. All food is excellent down to even a small pat of butter. Service is first rate. You will not be disappointed. I-64 is not a bad interstate traffic-wise. However, I-81 sucks because of too many trucks (congestion and rock chips). Try some of the lesser and back roads if you prefer to navigate around I-81. No affiliation with The Greenbriar, just a happy customer.

 

It does look like a very interesting event.
And it could become a major concours in our region over the years.

The judging classes are interesting.
Not sure I understand the Vipers class.
Maybe they are the special focus for the 1st year?

Automobile Judging Classes:
- Brass Era Cars: 1895 to 1915
- Classic Cars: 1925 to 1948

Toggie, 2017 is the 25th Anniversary for the Viper, and also its last year of production. Perhaps that is the reason.

 

Yes, I just noticed that. Hmmmm.........

Not sure they would deem my car worthy, but could be worth it to make application. And I agree, could be a very fun drive there, especially in September!

 

Interesting info, and I like Vipers, but I mention the Vipers Class being a little strange in that Vipers are not mentioned any where else on their event website.

I submitted my application, and booked my room. Let's see if they accept my car for entry.

 

Keep us posted...i just saw this and would be very interested in going...

 

Looks like a very interesting event, thank you for sharing !

 

When I called today to cancel my room reservation, I asked why. She didn't know, only said that they would be trying to schedule for next year.

 

I just emailed the event organizer, since the website is still active. Apparently, it is still "on", but the date may change. Here is his reply to me:

"Scott,

The Event has not been cancelled but the date may have to be changed. We will update the web-site as soon as we have confirmation. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

Thanks,
Wayne"

So, I guess we'll have to wait and see. Then hopefully still be able to book a room.

 

Joyce from C&C was at the Greenbrier for a Porsche event last weekend and I had her ask the hotel staff about it. Their reply was that as far as they knew, the event was still on.

 

Thanks for the update Jon. I never heard anything back from him.
