I'm going. Still waiting for room confirmations from CTO. Isn't that how it works? Aren't I supposed to hear from them after having sent in my registration?

We'll be there with at least one new 13.5" lens offering. Maybe a 15.0" one too. If I have enough time to pull it off.

Probably be my last time as a vendor,5,000 mile round trip and
turned 73. Unless they had more than I dealership, would have to believe it's one of a kind and will be there

T bird, that is a long drive but got to say 73 is not old. I'm 75 now and LOVE my road trips. I take a couple extra days, don't drive as far each day and don't drive at night

Just over a week away from another great event! All hotel rooms in our room block and all exhibitor spaces have been sold out!

There are several other hotels in the area, so you can still make plans to attend and shop at the show and auction!

Check out our website at www.checktheoilmagazine.com for more information!

See everyone there next week!

Just want to give a big shout out to the guys on the new Check the Oil mag! Beautiful.

Nice to see it filled with great/well written articles and all of the ad support not to mention the great design and printing quality. If this is a hint of things to come this show will go to the next level. Keep it going guys!
