Room reserved! I love these get togethers. Hopefully check in isn't like 2021. For those of us that were at Pheasant run 2018. It didn't survive covid. Some kids even set fire to the place last year. It recently popped up for me on Instagram.



RIP Pheasant Run

I believe it has been said that it will need to be ahead of time.

This post said registration had to be done by July 23rd or you couldn't attend. Not sure how firm that is: https://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?19726-DeLorean-Convention-and-Show-2023-Event-Registration-is-Open&p=276668&viewfull=1#post276668

DCS 2023 requires advance registration. There is no on-site registration.
ID Badges are required for attending VIP Talks and to view DCS Museum.

Although there are informal Show & Shine activities at DCS 2023 nightly,
the formal Car Show event (with judging) is at the Saturday Open House.

The DeLorean Precision Driving event (Fun Kana) is part of DCS 2023,
but does not require registration. Signed releases required to drive/ride.

The DeLorean Midwest Open House requires RSVP, but you could probably
still send an RSVP for that event. Open House and Car Show are August 5th.
