Hey guys and gals. DON'T MISS OUT ON THE EVENT OF THE YEAR! Room are sold out at the Westin for Wednesday and Thursday. Get your reservations now for Friday and Saturday if you want to stay at the host hotel.

Note that we have other hotels at special rates in Savannah if you need Wednesday-Saturday night.

The meet honors the Challenge cars, drivers and teams as its themes. The legacy (348/355) and contemporary (360/430) cars will compete in a wheel-to-wheel race to commemorate the series.

This event, FCA 2011 www.fca2011.org, has something to offer for everyone. The Racer, Track Rat, the Lover, Wife, and Family..... the cook can check in with Paula Dean at Lady and Sons on West Congress Street www.ladyandsons.com.

First of all, this is being held in one of America's great cities-Savannah Ga. Did you know that Savannah was the fist planned city? http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/n....jsp?id=h-2547

A perennial top ten destination, our host hotel is the Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort and Spa on Hutchinson Island, only a 5-minute free ferry ride to Savannah's beautiful, historic downtown riverfront.http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarG...8105&key=AC670

Our track is the 2.0 mile Grand Prize of America track on Hutchinson Island in Savannah, GA, only a short walk from the hotel. The track, built in 1997 for an Indy car race, has recently been renovated and much improved. It is the host track for the Historic Sportscar Racing in conjunction with the Hilton Head Island Concours.

Check out this promo video done by SCAD-one of the best media arts and design schools in the world. This is actual footage of America's first great automobile race- The Grand Prize of the Automobile Club of America that was held in Savannah in 1908 http://www.americangrandprize.com/id8.html.

Our concours will be held on the Westin's manicured golf course driving range, surrounded by the track. You are encouraged to come early, stay late, as the Westin offers our club's discounted rate for three days before and after the meet and there is so much more to see and enjoy in Savannah, Hilton Head and the nearby Georgia and South Carolina beaches. Savannah has many alternate hotels ranging from the Marriott, Mulberry Inn, Hyatt and Bohemian to dozens of fine bed and breakfast inns.

Check out this map to see just how convenient everything will be (this can be seen here www.fca2011.org if this link will not load)

Yes, Yes and Yes! There will be a rally and concours to participate in, and lots of other fun stuff to do. The track is but one part, and of course the minority of participants. There will be far more people doing the other things that will soon be listed on the website! But then again, you will be too busy as a volunteer to enjoy them!!! LOL!

 

Guys, just got back from a long weekend in Savannah. Stayed at the Olde Harbor Inn one night, and then two nights at The Mansion. I have to say I just love Savannah. The great food, try Elizabeth on 37th www.elizabethon37th.net, and the Mansion www.mansiononforsythpark.com is simply luxurious! The track is looking great, park like in the way they have cleaned it up. Jump in and get your rooms now...only 98 days to go! www.fca2011.org

 

John, I think we have several days prior and several days after to encourage folks to stay over. I'll find out what happened. My bet is they are mistaken, and need to be corrected.

 

I think this was just solved a few moments ago. The reservation center will have this resolved by Monday, and should give you the rate of $199 per night. Please let me know if this is not resolved!

 

Greeting FCA members and friends:

Hey guys and girls-it's time to get going! The meet is almost here and hotel space is gone at the Westin!

Go to www.fca2011.org to find the details, and register for this once in a lifetime event. Check with the hotels listed as we have special rates at hotels just across the river. As you will see from this video, the Ferry that runs from 7am to 11am will take you to the host hotel where all the activities are talking place.
