Subject: Tulsarama Invitational Car Show Update
Greetings Tulsarama Invitational
Auto Show Participants!
We are in full-throttle mode
planning Tulsarama and each day brings a series of new surprises and
information. I promised
each of you I
would mail an information packet
on April 3rd and I am so
glad I did not! Much of
the information in
the original packet has changed. But, it has changed with good pieces of
information that will make Tulsarama bigger and better.
I hope to offer you some
information now and will revise the packets.
Tulsarama Invitational Auto Show
Overview
Out of several hundred
applications, we have spots for 100 cars in the Invitational
show. You are part of this group
of 100. The show is unlike any other car show you may have attended
in the past. The key to the selection committee was diversity. The
selection committee wanted to select a diverse range of cars that
represent a variety of
era?s and other cars that are just unique. The
star of the show is the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere that will
have been unearthed at Noon on June 15.
The car show is divided into 3
distinct sections: Pre 1957 . .
.1957 . .and Post 1957. There will also be a special area of cars
that are true collector pieces. Additionally, props of antique gas pumps, vintage
oil memorabilia and
information on Tulsa will be on hand. Exhibitors inside the car show
include American Airlines, QuickTrip, The Route 66 Museum and Tulsa
Arts.
The walls of Exhibit Hall B&C
will showcase old video footage of the Belvedere being un-earthed in 19657 as
well as other vintage footage
giving it the feel of a drive-in movie theater.
Show
Location
The Invitational Car Show will take
place inside Exhibit Hall B&C of the Tulsa Convention Center which is
located on Houston Street between 3rd &
4th
Streets.
Move-In:
In an attempt to avoid a traffic
jam during move-in, we would like to request the following:
The committee realizes that not
everyone may be able to accommodate this request. This is absolutely
fine. Everyone is on a different travel schedule and certain things just
can?t be helped.
If majority can arrive at the requested time, we are trying to avoid a traffic jam and allow enough room for car
placement, trailer removal, etc.

Where to
Stay in
Tulsa
The official hotel of Tulsarama is
the Crowne Plaza Hotel located in downtown Tulsa at 100 E. 2nd Street, Tulsa, OK 74103. (918) 582-9000. www.crowneplaza.com/tulsaok A block of rooms have been set aside for Tulsarama
guests for $99 per night plus 13.517% tax.
When calling the hotel, be sure to mention Tulsarama to secure the discounted rate. This is the only
DOWNTOWN Tulsa hotel with availability for Tulsarama guests. Be sure and make your reservation
by May 30,
2007 to ensure
availability.
Parking at the Crowne Plaza is $8
per day. The media and other car enthusiasts are staying at
the Crowne.
Other hotels in and around Tulsa do have availability and
a list of these hotels can be found by visiting
www.visittulsa.com.
A Word about Trailers . .
.
If your car is being delivered or
brought to the car show via trailer, the car must be exhibited directly on the
floor. It will not be allowed to be displayed from the trailer. Once
your vehicle is removed from the
trailer, the trailer must be moved to the TRAILER ONLY lot. This lot is located
directly behind the DoubleTree Hotel off of 8th street. It
will be secured and monitored but Tulsarama will not be held liable for any
damage, lost or stolen aspects as they relate to your trailer being held in this
location. It is not mandatory that trailers be stored in this
lot, it is offered as a free
service to all vehicle owners of the Invitational and Open Car
shows.
Displaying your
Car
Ropes and stanchions will NOT be
provided to surround your
vehicle during the show. If you do not want folks close to your car, it is
suggested that you make and bring your own device to surround your car.
The Convention Center nor other suppliers in the Tulsa area do not have the
quantities required of this event. If you don?t
provide ropes and stanchions,
Tulsarama cannot be liable for any damage or accidents that may involve your
vehicle. We encourage you to arrive at the show prior to doors open to
ensure your vehicle is clean and a show stopper!
Judging
Computer voting kiosks will be in and around Exhibit Hall B&C. The public
will be asked to vote for their favorites. The top
three cars will be awarded a trophy and a cash prize. The 1957 Plymouth
Belvedere will not be a part of the judging. The winners will be announced on
Sunday
afternoon, June 17 on the
outdoor stage of the Open Car show located directly behind the Convention
Center.
Security
Security inside Exhibit Hall B&C of the Tulsa Convention Center
will be provided by the Tulsa
County Sheriff?s Office.
Security will begin at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 14 and conclude at 8:00 p.m.,
Sunday, June 17, 2007. Security will be on-site 24 hours a day. The
number of officers will fluctuate depending on time of day but no less than 2
officers will ever be inside Exhibit Hall B&C. 24 hour security will also
exist in the TRAILER LOT behind the Doubletree Hotel with the same hours of operation. The
Sheriff?s Office will establish a Command Post in the
loading dock area of the Tulsa Convention Center during Tulsarama
events.
Parking
Parking in the loading dock area of
the Tulsa Convention Center is not allowed. Each day, when you arrive at
the Tulsa Convention Center, you can park in the flat surface lot north of the
Tulsa Convention Center or in the multi-level parking garage. Display your
badge to the lot attendant so
you can park for free.
Directions to the Tulsa
Convention Center
A variety of directions can be
accessed by visiting www.tulsaconvention.com. Be aware that
the north bound lanes of Houston between 6th & 3rd will be
blocked for the Open Car Show

Unearthing
Site
The 1957 Plymouth Belvedere will be

seating for 400 and these are being reserved for alumni of the original event,
government officials and the committee working on Tulsarama. Overflow
seating will be available inside Exhibit Hall A of the Tulsa Convention Center via a simulcast. Access into Exhibit Hall A
is free.

Belvedere

actually be seen until 6:30 that night! Tickets are on sale for this event
