Kelly mentioned hooking up in Strasburg which is right off the Interstate. Would that work for you Cory? Was there a particular reason that you wanted to meet in Front Royal? It's possible but a little more out of the way. We probably won't be coming up Skyline Drive....it's too slow to stay on schedule for a mid-afternoon arrival. If had chosen to come up that way, we would be going right into Front Royal, but last year we bailed out at the end of the Blue Ridge Parkway so we would make better time.

I thought we bailed out cuz we missed our exit and got lost. Oh yeah, I wasn't supposed to mention that, was I? ;-)

Well boys, Count me in! La Bomba and I WILL be making the trip! Henry would like to use my car for part of his exhibit, and it would be fun to meet and hang with all of you. I'll be there Thursday night, leaving Sunday on the 17th of May. I hope I can ride shotgun with some of you since my ride will be exhibited. I would also like to be part of the speedsterowners Saturday night dinner/drink? Let me know what arrangements,if any I need to make. Can't wait to meet all of you and see your cars.

I just called the Ramada, and there is NO allowance for an AAA club member getting an additional 10%. Said it wasn't part of the "contract" that Alan signed. Just letting you know what was said to me by the manager of the Ramada.

Lane, we were not LOST, we just didn't know exactly where we were. As you recall, it was easy to decide what to do next after getting off where the Blue Ridge Parkway runs into skyline drive. The trusty road atlas put us on the right track quickly. I was surprised that there was no sign that indicated that we had reached this point before we had to make the quick "Ueee."

Howard, the Ramada's price is a pretty good one compared to what the Hotel Carlisle was going to hose us, discount or not. The local business folks know that they have us by the short hairs on show weekends.

At least some of us have short hairs..... ;>)

I'll meet up with you guys right on the highway around noon. See you then.

Yes, Hotel Carlisle quoted me well into the $186 per night range for a group rate on a the show weekend.
Ramada LTD. and all other area hotels do not make an allowance for any discount on show weekends but infact, nearly double the usual daily rates, this is the way of the land here.
BTW there has not been much in the way of making reservations, best not to hold off for when the rooms are gone, there gone.

We've been informed today that only half of the block of 30 reserved rooms at the Ramada Limited in Carlisle have been taken. The Ramada Limited will be releasing those rooms to the public by Sunday night, May 4th.

If you haven't yet made your room reservations at the Ramada Limited, then get moving!!

You only have until Sunday evening to do so or risk not staying at the same hotel as everyone else! Hotels near the show grounds usually sell out!

If you HAVE made your reservations already, THANKS!

If you haven't, then "Reserve.....or get off the pot!!"

Made mine months ago.........

We made our reservations looooong time ago. We will probably arrive late Wednesday evening. If anyone is looking for us we will be in Room 147 (just far enough from Cory's room that I can get some sleep at night !! or vice-versa !!)

See you soon.

Happy Trails,
Dusty and the Lovely Miss Sharon

As Gordon posted I can't stress enough to get your room reservations in this weekend.
When the're gone, there gone as there is always people waiting on rooms. It's a 45 minute drive to find the nearest availibility. ~Alan

I have my confirmation number from January (I think). C'mon folks! You don't want to have to stay 45 minutes away.

11:00PM Left Coast time. News says Dennis Rodman has followed your thread and has made his reservations as instructed. Thanks for getting him off our coast. Further shipments to follow. OOPs! Keep him...but you can't keep Jim!

Ah, so I see he's back from Neptune.

...I think you meant Uranus, Lane!

Don't you be talkin' 'bout my... Oh, never mind.
