[TR] Triumphest/VTR info

[v6spitfireguy at cox.net]

Well listers, we secured our hotel for Triumphest/VTR (better hurry,rooms
are going fast), but are wondering about the rules for the VTR Concours. We
haven't filled out the form yet because of a few items in question

We thought we would try this venue since it would be the first time we
would be able to attend.  We have what we think is a fairly decent car for
this year, that should do fair (at least we think), but would we be dinged
for the 165/70 tires (instead of 155s) on chrome spoke (vs. painted) rims,
Chrome plated air cleaner, Lecarra steering wheel, alloy valve cover, or
overdrive on a car that originally didnt have one?   Some of these items
could be changed relatively easily but others (like the overdrive or
wheels) would be expensive and require a lot of work  Something I'm not
really willing to do for only one judging event - So how heavy handed  are
the rules?? Would this be considered a modified??

Certainly many (if not all) of these things were considered period
aftermarket items are those OK?

Anyway, we are looking forward to the event, but we were really QUITE
disappointed that we couldnt book only three days at the Embassy Hotel.
If you wanted four that was available, but we are not able to take that
much time off  three was stretching it(not to mention the expense)! Not
pointing fingers, or trying to start a flame war or anything, but I think
that a lot of folks will be in the same situation, and its a shame that
they wont be able to stay at the hotel the event is at simply because the
hotel requires a four night stay!  In the twenty or more years that I have
been attending Triumphest, I have never had a problem securing rooms for
two or three nights, and we have NEVER reserved rooms this early. But
apparently, this time was different!  So well be staying at the overflow
Best Western, which by the way is a bit cheaper oh well, at any rate, hope
to see a lot of you there!
