POCI Convention 2014 location?
 

Where is it? Wasn't it announced at this year's convention?

I only found one clue, an April newsletter for a Kansas chapter that said Wichita.

Correct, Wichita Kansas.

2014 POCI Convention: Wichita, KS June 17-21; more details soon.

It is being held at the Century Center. The entire show will be indoors. Drag racing will be on Friday night.

In June? WTF!

POCI Conventions have ended up in June before. The last one was Loon Mountain New Hampshire in 1995.

GTOAA Nats?
 

The 2014 GTO Nationals are just outside Pittsburgh. Does anyone know those exact dates?

The 2014 GTOAA nats. will be held in Monroeville, 12 miles east of downtown Pittsburg.It is 2.2 miles off the Pa. turnpike at mile marker #57
The dates are July 1st, to July 5th

Needs to come back to northern Illinois........I loved last years.

601 miles from Rochester................my plan was to have my car done in time to take it to the POCI. I will need to have a lot of faith if I am to make this work. Only time will tell.

I'd like it to come back to Tulsa.........BUT with so many cars getting a paint job, the last time...man, what a mess...

I am trying to decide which car I want to take.

Is there a place close to the convention for camping? My folks would like to bring their RV into town.

Mobilemanor as is a Mobile Home Park but 13 RV sites for RV stays.

2206 W MacArthur Rd Wichita, KS 67217‎ (316) 524-4171 · mobilemanorwichita.com

Looks like it is the closest. And being a Mobile Home park as lots of shade trees in it. Can call me at 316 788 6969 if any questions. Les

I would like to go to the GTOAA & stay at the host hotel , but I HATE the fact you are forced to stay 4 days to be able to stay at the host hotel. That SUCKS. I would be staying 3 days but at the prices they are posting for the rates to stay it's getting ridiculous for what your getting. A place to lay your head down for about 8 hours & thats it. Too Much. It use to be a club for all to come & have a good time with your car & have some good times with your friends, but the way it's gone for the last 5 or so years it's getting to be for the ones who have the most money & not just for the the guy & gal who love their GTO's. And it's almost $ 100.00 just to join. That in itself is about as stupid as it can be. And you still only get a monthly mag. & a few free ads. Why does it have to be that much, whos getting rich off of that money. JMO.

Glad you got that off your chest. You do know we are talking about the POCI convention here.

Not to add another sidebar, but...annual dues for GTOAA and POCI are only $35 for each club. For $70 you can join both.

The fees for attending the conventions can be different every year and are based on the cost of the venue, sponsorships, permits, etc., etc. It's not cheap to host events of this size and based on contractaul obligations with event centers, minimum hotel night requirements may need to be implemented. Is it ideal...no, but it is what it is. If you want nothing more than to lay your head down for the night, go down the street to one of many overflow hotels.

I plan on attending POCI for a few days and will be at GTOAA for the week. Looking forward to the summer and hope to see everyone there. I go exactly for the reasons you stated...beautiful cars, good times, and good friends. -Doug
