silverarrow89 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 My reservations are complete for the Hilton (I used points from work). I arrive on Friday and will leave on Sunday morning. Will most likely take my 9 year old son as well... I'll process the reg fee this weekend when I'm back from Vegas. Now, should I push to get the car into and out of the body and engine shop and tow it down or, just fly in visit, drool, and fly back?

Tim_C. Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 The Hilton! Must be nice. Actually I have points there too, but I want to build them up more before using them. I'm trying to figure out if I will have something to make the drive too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMeyerhoff Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) The Hilton in Branson is brand new and very nice. They have a water fountian show designed by the same person that did the Vegas Belliagio. It was just too pricey for us to make it the host hotel. And thier parking is at a premium with most of it being in a parking garage attached to a mall. Area 57 is a MUCH better venue for the actual meet I have created a easy to use Paypal button to help folks register.

psu_Crash Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 1100 miles for me ... I sooo want to be there but I really don't trust my Starion 17 hours from home. I may consider flying out, but I would just be depressed the whole time without mine. i suppose I could trailer her in .... hmm ... will have to wait and see.

Have you figured out if you will be driving or flying in? I probably won't know for sure until May if I can go, and how I will go, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverarrow89 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I think I'm going to try to drive, but my fallback will be air. Some around me said to use my wife's Expy with a uhaul trailer to get the car there, but that's what, 20 hours (4 Days) round trip, yikes. I usually end up driving to the Canadian GrandPrix in Montreal every year in early June, but I'm doing this outing instead, since its off the calendar this year and, more important, I want to check out the Starquests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlrichWolf Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Man, I am honestly impressed already. There's a few guys that need mad props NOW. Silverarrow89, coming from Jersey.......Cokedoctor, coming from Buffalo, NY.........and ScottyGibb coming from Vegas. Folks, these guys have paid their way in. If these guys can make it, from around the country.........no reason why the rest of you cannot. Gentlemen, you have my utmost respect for the trip you're taking.

silverarrow89 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Free beer goes allot farther with me than this thing you call "respect" - what would I do with that? Can I drink it and get a buzz? Edited February 4, 2009 by silverarrow89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All The rooms have 2 Queen beds and a sleeper sofa...I would think someone would have room. Plus, everyone in the room gets a breakfast every morning.

UlrichWolf Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Folks, response has been good. So good, that I am going to disclose the Saturday night secret that we have been working on. Saturday night, we will have a 30 foot tall inflatable movie screen erected, and we will turn the car show into a drive in movie. The feature will be Cannonball Run II. Is that not awesome? Just for you guys! That's going to be a picture opportunity of a lifetime there.......the Starion on the screen, and (hopefully) a whole lot of them parked right there, pointed at the screen.
