Vintage Triumph Register National Convention 2017

August 16, 2017 - August 20, 2017

Vintage Triumph Register National Convention 2017

Please join the fun at the 2017 Vintage Triumph Register National Convention which takes place at Forrestal Village, Princeton, NJ.

The convention will be co-hosted by the Delaware Valley Triumph club and the New Jersey Triumph Association. This will be the 2nd time the DVT has acted as host for this National event.

The planning committee is working on many great back-road drives that are abundant in the area. Princeton itself is a short back-road drive to that historic town, with its many restaurants, pubs, shops, antique shops, and off course, the esteemed Princeton University.

While the Concours and Participant’s Choice Car Show are a major part of the convention, DVT and NJTA are “driving” clubs. We encourage all Triumph enthusiasts to bring a car-regardless of its condition.

The hotel is near major roads and interstates, and very easy to get to. In the event you have to fly in, Philadelphia Airport (PHL) and Newark Airport (EWR) are only about an hour away, as well as the local Trenton Airport.

The Convention headquarters will be at the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village. Located off major roads, but easily accessed by back roads, the hotel has all you would expect in major chain hotel; 300 rooms, pool, restaurant, tennis courts, etc. In addition, current plans are for the Autocross, Funkana, LeMan’s Start, Concours, and Participant’s Choice Car Show to maybe be literally within walking-distance of the hotel, using the hotel grounds. Tech sessions and other meetings will be at the hotel. The site also has several restaurants.

Events: Welcome Reception: the convention kicks off in a big way with a Welcome Reception and BBQ sponsored by Delaware Valley Triumph and the New Jersey Triumph Association on the grounds of the Westin.

Participant’s Choice Car Show: Registrants select their favorite car in each class. All cars are welcomed.

Panoramic Photo: It’s your chance to have your photo taken with all the VTR2017 participants. An outstanding memento.

TSD (Time, Speed, Distance) Rallye: The perfect opportunity for you and your passenger to use your driving and navigational skills though our many back roads.

Gimmick Rallye: Still under construction, but will be historically and regionally related.

Ice-Cream Run: A summer night, top-down, and off we go! What better way to spend the
evening than to take a ride to one of the local ice-cream stands to cool off.

Breakfast Tour: For those early risers among us, the breakfast tour will give you the opportunity to get out on the many scenic roads surrounding the hotel, for a breakfast, or breakfast buffet. And maybe even a traditional Northeast Diner.

Self-Guided Tours: Enjoy the scenic countryside of New Jersey and Pennsylvania at your own pace to places such as Washington Crossing, New Hope, Lambertville, Princeton University, Gardens for Sculpture, etc. We will have several back roads routes available for you to explore, and enjoy.

Art, Craft, Model, and Photo Contest: The ever popular event returns again! We will have an area to display your artistic talents.

Cocktail Reception and Awards Banquet: The convention wraps up with the annual Awards Banquet, held at the huge Westin ballroom. Guest speaker will be Mike Cook, and maybe another TBD.
