May 1-2, 2010- Davis Car Show / Swap Meet & Autocross (w/ GGVCOA)

Thunderhill has been canceled and will no longer be a part of this event.

We are going to work on some hotel/motel discounts if possible. Pre registration and membership will have it's privileges.

Please keep all PayPal receipts as proof of purchase.

Show Registration: Pre-register now, save on the entry fee, and guarantee your spot! We will be accepting people at the gate also. Gate prices will be $15 and $20 for members and non-members respectively.

Autocross: Saturday May 1st will be a new event to Davis - an autocross. Pre-register now and save or pay $30 and $40 for members and non-members respectively per vehicle on the day.

Swap Meet Vendors: Pre-register now and save on your space. We will accept vendors at the gate space permitting with prices for two spaces being $40 and $50 for members and non-members respectively.

Lodging: Member Scott Dingle has arranged some lodging for your visit to Davis this year. There are a few local options first of which is the Econolodge about two blocks from the show location. He has arranged 10 rooms with the potential for 5 per room.

Prices are $55 for a bed, $50 for a floor. That's per person and is for Friday night check-in and Monday morning check-out. If somebody wants a room with less people in it, that's not an issue we can make that work. Also if somebody wants to check in later or check out earlier that's not an issue.

The Golden Gate Chapter is looking for volunteers to help out with the Auto-X and the Davis show 'n swap.

E mail either CJ Yother cj.yother@ggvcoa.org or John Sharp john.sharp@ggvcoa.org if you can offer some time.

We are less than two weeks away from the Autocross at Mather AFB on Saturday 5/1 and the Davis Meet in Central Park in Davis on 5/2 (Sunday). To continue to make this the most successful Volvo event in Northern, CA, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
