@Alan Merklin, I assume you mean that if we don't have 30 rooms, no breakfast or hospitality? I don't personally care about the breakfast and cookies but is there a back up plan for the hospitality, just in case?
@Marshall Yes, generally a good number take their cars to the show field but many get the "non-judged" pass. Without a "judged" pass, your car will not be. The price is on the Carlisle website. I know some have done this but since it's a replica, you should level your expectations of winning anything on that.
It looks like there are group drives through the country planned. You could take runs to Gettysburg and Hershey as Mike suggested. I don't because I live close and have seen them all.
Speaking for myself, I am content with the company of the group. If anything, it feels like there isn't enough time to do much else than hang out, drink (if that is your thing), take drives (without drinking of course), look at other people's cars and go out for meals. Even though the "Banquet" is a planned thing, groups go out for meals every night.
