John -
I've been going to ths show since 1990. Here's the deal,
as I see it.
The show is held at a huge park. After driving thru the
main entrance, there is an open field on the left. This is where the Featured
Car is displayed. At the back of the field, near the food vendors, bandshell,
etc is where the tent is located. If your car is one of the 300s displayed under
the tent, it sounds like it will have to stay there Fri-Sun. If you are just
driving a 300, you will be able to park on the open field in front of the tent.
You may come in and leave at any time.
All the other antique and classic cars will be parked in
the areas in front, and to the right and left of the open field. Check out this
map: http://awkscht.com/parkmap.html to
see what I'm talking about. The area marked CROSLEY is the open field. The tent
is labeled Featured Car Display on the map.
One thing that is imperative
is that you register for this show soon. That means before July 1. There
is NO day-of-show registration. It's 15/day. You have to fill out a
separate registration form for each day that you plan to be there. So if you
plan to just be there Sat-Sun, you fill out the Saturday and Sunday forms and
mail them in. All this is on the Awkscht website.
The cutoff years vary by day. But Sat-Sun it's around
1990. If you decide to bring your daily driver and it's newer than 1990, you
have to park in a spectator lot. If you register your 300C, but decide to bring
your 300F or your 1970 Oldsmobile for that matter, they're OK with that. When
you drive in, they will have your packet at the gate. All you have to do is
cross out the make/model/year of the car and write in whatever you're
driving.
There is also a $10 Chrysler 300 Club Convention fee,
which is sent to the club.
Any additional questions, please ask.
If any of this is at odds with what the organizers have
set up, please chime in as well.

confusion
My apologies in advance for not being able to figure this out from the
info provided.
I just received my summer 2014 300 club news in the mail today, which
included a special flyer which appears to be a registration brochure for 3
days (Fri, Sat, Sun) @ $15 per day.
I'd like to come to this show, and I'd like to bring a 300. I'm not
sure which 300 I'll bring, and I can't tell from the info provided what is a
'featured car', vs what is a car that is allowed on the show field, vs what is
a 'daily driver'.
I don't want to drive any of my 300's all the way there and have to park
in some paid lot with a bunch of Toyotas, but I also don't want to have to
sleep in my car or on the ground next to it for 3 days if I'm allowed into the
car tent.
There doesn't seem to be anything listed in between. It appears
you're either in a featured car that is trapped under the tent for 3 days, or
you're in daily driver parking somewhere outside the event.
Is there no middle ground?
Do I just attend as a regular car show guy having no affiliation with the
club in order to park on an old car/show car field and still be able to come
and go each day?
Any help/explanation appreciated.
