I went to the Old Car Festival registration page and see that registration is closed, at capacity. Since I was registering a bicycle through the Wheelmen, I hope as a member there to get to take a bike.

I guess I'll jump in on this. I really applaud the OCF group for being prompt on being ready for their June 1st registration posting, -and then being prompt to choose this year's field of cars and quickly letting those registrants know something so they can begin making their plans.

I agree. Looks like another great year.

I hope to bring some overalls (and be in them this time). It's common knowledge that I was otherwise occupied last year, so even driving modern I'm ready to see some old cars and old friends.

What are the best places to stay for OCF if showing a car?

We stay at The Comfort Inn in Allen Park. It's about a 3 mile drive to the OCF.

Depends on how you travel. I often stay in a parking lot or a secluded spot near the road.

Steve,
Do you sleep in your car like that?

Only when it rains. Normally, in a sleeping bag out on the ground. Some are appalled at the thought, but I've been sleeping on the ground since 1946 that I remember, and probably before that. When it was raining, I once took a motel room. More often I've slept in the car with a big tarp over the top, hanging down all around like a tent. It's not as bad as it sounds. It sure didn't keep me awake.

Steve, I see you even get wake up calls in that parking lot. Do they have a pool? If you do not make it maybe Atomic Amish can set up your overalls on a chair again. You might have to ship him a pair of the correct brand for this year.

Dave, they have a pool, but it's spelled with a silent Pee.
Amish dude has an open room for hobos.

I've been told that the 2024 OCF has been limited to 250 cars. Has anyone heard about it?

Ed that sounds like a good question for THF. I haven't heard anything about that this year, but I do recall hearing a few years ago that a cap was set (or lowered?) to prevent overcrowding. I guess it was headed toward being too much to handle.
