Out of the Woodwork 2021
Watkins Glen, NY: September 10-12, 2021
TVRCCNA this is returning Out of the Woodwork to Watkins Glen for a fun weekend of racing after a year of COVID misery. This year we will again be holding the TVRCCNA national event in conjunction with the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Festival and the SVRA 2021 Watkins Glen US Vintage Grand Prix. As part of participating in Out of the Woodwork you will receive special discounted admission to the US Vintage Grand Prix and its Saturday auto show, where we will be holding Out of the Woodwork.
We have locked in our hotel, which is the Hilton Garden Inn Elmira/Corning (35 Arnot Road, Horseheads, New York, 14845). We have negotiated a special rate of $149/night that is available between Thursday 9 September and Sunday 12 September 2021. To get our special rate you need to call the hotel 607-795-1111) and request the TVR Car Club North America room block, or you can go to the hotel website and put in the Group Code "TVR".
This year we are proud to welcome John Mleczek back again as our featured guest (assuming COVID restrictions don't prevent his travel). John worked for TVR from 1974 to 2007 (third-longest serving TVR employee) and his father was one of the first employees of Grantura Plastics and TVR. John will be joining us for the show and banquet, sharing some stories from the early days of TVR, and bringing some more unique items from his collection for the auction. You don't want to miss it.
Schedule of Out of the Woodwork 2021 (all times are approximate)
Thursday
Arrive at the hotel, relax, meet with friends.
Friday
Friday is the Grand Prix Festival, presented by the Chemung Canal Trust Company. It's a big part of the US Vintage Grand Prix and has a TON of events, each of which has to be enrolled in separately such as driving tours, history talks from early drivers, and a variety of food and entertainment. TVRCCNA is also setting up our own driving tour because a number of the planned ones are already full, so let Ben Roth know if you're interested in a club tour instead of one of the tours organized by the Grand Prix Festival.
