Last year’s gathering was the largest in five years. Eighty-seven cars on site, 312 attendees, a concours that filled the host hotel lot and overflowed into the adjacent lot, and a Sunday drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway that filled fourteen miles of road.
What worked: the registration desk staffed all day Wednesday and Thursday, the concours judging slips actually filled out in time, the parts swap with reserved tables, the NCM track day with two run groups instead of one, and dinner at a single venue instead of the previous distributed-restaurant model.
What we’ll change for 2026: the welcome reception ran 90 minutes long because we hadn’t capped the bar tab; the Friday tech sessions overlapped the canyon drive (people couldn’t do both); and the auction format dragged. SLC has all of these fixes built into the schedule.
Photo album from LUG 2025 is up in the members area. ULOG, who’s hosting in 2026, has the working schedule already published.
