Friday LodgingA block of rooms has been arranged for at the discount rate of $79 per night at the Comfort Inn in Quakertown. You must reserve by phone and mention "Hutchison" or "ABRR" to get the discounted rate. Please reserve your room(s) no later than Sept 22nd.

Saturday LodgingThe consensus of opinion, based on first hand accounts and Hotels.com reviews, is that the hotels in Binghamton itself aren't the best, and we'd be better served to stay in Johnson City just a few miles to the west. There are a number of hotels there that should suit us. You're on your own for booking, although several of us have already reserved rooms at the Red Roof Inn (Pin 5 on the map). All these hotels can be booked by phone or online at Hotels.com or Expedia.com.

"What if I break down?"What, in a classic British Car? Heaven forbid... Historically, there have been very few breakdowns that put ABRR cars out of the running entirely. Most little problems that crop up along the route are solved with the help and support of the participants. If, however, we have a problem that can't be fixed at the road side, There will be a support vehicle with a trailer following the field to provide help and, if need be, recovery services. This is being provided by Ragtops and Roadsters. |
