NEW MCACN Magazine , Power Tour & Muscle Car Meetup!

June is a VERY busy month for the MCACN team. With registrations coming in at a record rate, we already have nearly all of the Invitational and Special displays full and several new features in the works. There is no doubt that the 2024 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show, which will take place Saturday, November 23, and Sunday, November 24 in Rosemont, (SUBURBAN Chicago!) will be another for the record books.

We are working on our new MCACN magazine now. We have limited advertising space available, with rates starting at just $100.00 for a business card size ad and quarter, page, half page and just one or two more full pages are also available. To reserve your ad space now, email me at bashton426@gmail.com. We invoice when we mail in October, so lock in your ad space now!

Speaking of the New Magazine....

So the key to success for the MCACN show is having plenty of spectators. This works in several ways; 1st, we all love to share to show our cars (or our products and services) to like minded people. Second, and my personal favorite, is to share the stories. And with our High School Reunion, Pure Stock and Nostalgia racers, Vintage Certification and so many other great displays, there are going to be some good ones. Bringing back memories of better times, when we all would get out there and really participate are what this hobby is all about. Whether you were (or are!) cruising, racing or just hanging out with friends, it is all about having fun. Our 88 page full color MCACN magazine is designed to give you a preview of what you'll find at the show. We have so much to talk about, so this is a mere sampling, but hopefully it will give you enough incentive to be a part of the fun, whether showing or as an all important spectator. And, of course, it is FREE and will also be available with free access online. We will mail in mid October, so you can sign up now to get yours. We never take you off our mailing list unless you ask, but if you aren't sure, sign up and we will sort out any duplications. To sign up, click here:   To see past MCACN magazines, click here.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

If you would like to see your car in the magazine or on our facebook and Instagram pages, we need good, clear pictures. Every year I am amazed at how many truly amazing cars we get from across the country and Canada that submit their entries with, well...downright lousy pictures. Believe me, this is a real problem! As many of you know, when I attend events, I carry my trusty Nikon with me specifically to catch cars that are joining us. So if you are joining us, no matter what make or model you are showing, send me your pictures! It is always good to shoot outdoors, sun behind you and make sure the doors, hood and decklid are closed. Unless you are a Hottie, best to be the car only also. And if you know I am at an event and you have your car there, chase me down so I can shoot it!

June Events: Hot Rod Power Tour

Ian and I are literally preparing for the Hot Rod Power Tour right now. I have found this is one of the best ways to connect and to spread the message of the MCACN experience. While the "Dumptruck" Hornet is not quite ready for the road, we will again mix it up with Ians AMG Mercedes adorned with a pair of bicycles strapped to the roof. We found that everyone has a story about bikes and we are diving deep into our collection with a pair of bikes that are really different and haven't seen the light of day for many years. Think HOT ROD...With that being said, I can assure you, we will be easy to find, whether parked, running the Auto Cross or on the dragstrip! So, this is where we ask for your help. Word of mouth is the absolute best advertising we can get. So, each day of the Power Tour I will give away FIVE MCACN hats to the first five people that chase me down and take a handful of Tri-Folds, Postcards and/or magnets to hand out. These are great conversation starters at the hotel parking lots at night too! The tour stops are Bowling Green, Kentucky Monday, then on to the Nashville Super Speedway Tuesday. Wednesday we hit L&N FCU Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. We head to National Trail Raceway, (home of the Mopar Nationals) in Hebron, Ohio Thursday then off to Indianapolis Raceway Park Friday for the last stop. Now that's covering some territory! Look for us at any of the stops or at the gas stations and hotels. Like I said...we will be easy to spot among the sea of thousands of cool cars and trucks!

MUSCLE CAR MEETUP, Presented by MCACN, at the Gilmore Car Museum

We are thrilled to host our third Muscle Car Meetup at the fantastic Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan, Saturday, June 22. We played host to hundreds of awesome cars the past two years and are looking for an even bigger show this year. We will have a CARS OF MCACN special display area, featuring cars that have been shown with us in the past, and we also have some new entries that are joining us this year. If you are a past or soon to be participant of the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show, please consider this a personal invitation. You must sign up in advance to be included in the MCACN Special Display area by using this link.   Note on the application that you were invited by me and I'll tag you to be directed by Ryan Brutt past the "velvet rope" and into our prime display area, surrounding the MCACN tent. Muscle Bicycles are welcome too

This event is all about having fun with no judged awards. We do a bunch of "Pick" awards with local celebrities, museum staff and some of the MCACN people. We have several seminars and new this year is an automotive ART area, coordinated by our good friend Steve Macy. Of course, we will bring out a bunch of our vintage Muscle Bicycles to add to the fun

The Gilmore Car Museum is an absolute MUST SEE and among the best car museums in the world. The displays, the diversity and the setting are amazing and you can even camp overnight right on the grounds. Great food too and we will have live music. All the makings of a super enjoyable family friendly event.

To add to the fun, we will have a bunch of MCACN Merchandise "$10 Specials" and I made sure to stash some of the awesome Adrianna Posters. Yep...Adrianna will be joining us to sign yours, and they will be FREE at the Muscle Car Meetup Only!

Hope to see you soon. As always we ask that you help us spread the word, whether in person, on facebook and Instagram or any of the other social media platforms.

SAFE TRAVELS AND BE NICE
