Here is the official answer from Tulsa:

Rich,
The open car show will be for car clubs and classic cars, not transportation. There is parking in the Convention Center area, but they do not make reservations unfortunately. I would also suggest that on the weekends, many of the parking lots where downtown employees park will be available and the walk to our open area would not be too lengthy.
I hope this information helps.

My question read as follows

Paula, I am the event coordinator for the Prowler Owners Association, 2007 National Event. Our club is attending Tulsarama for the unearthing of the 1957 Plymouth. We will have in the neighborhood of 80 to 100 cars in Tulsa from 06/14 thru 06/22. We will be staying at the Embassy Suites hotel. We are about to submit our entry for the Open Car Show. At the present I have commitments for 71 cars to enter the Open Car show and 114 people attending the unveiling ceremony. I am sure this number will increase. I will be mailing the car show registration by the end of the month. Before I submit the registration form I have a question.
Some of our members will be driving family vehicles instead of their Prowlers. They have inquired about being able to park either with or very near the cars entered in the Open Car Show. If I reserve them a spot in the Open Car show will they be allowed to park with the Prowlers or will they be restricted from entering because they are not driving a show car? If the will not be permitted to enter the show car parking area will there be parking close by that can be reserved? If so how do I proceed to make those reservations? Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated.

Question though - Ed the Moan-a-hen mentioned somewhere that the car show is CLOSE to the event hotel ? Maybe it would be within 'walking distance' ? Just wondering

Just FYI, the hotel is not right next to the car show.

Rich - this would be a great idea - I will gladly NOT plan anymore POA events and just show up to have fun if you really want to "get rich" being an event planner.

I imagine that planning these events take up a lot of your free time.

This will only be my 2nd large scale Prowler event. I thought Marty did a great job with Louisville.

Thanks to all the past, present and future event planners!!!

Hmmm...sounds like bad timing.
