The first batch of confirmation cars went out the end of last week.

We're up to 440 pre-reg'd as of yesterday. Thanks for spreading the word everyone, only 6 weeks away!

Travis, If you havent booked your HO-tel yet theres one thats just being finished built. Brand spankin new and right up the street from Silver Springs. Its actually on Silver Springs Blvd. I will try and get the info today, as I drive by it at least 5 times a day when making Lowes trips on the weekend.

That's usually the way it happens. Stay tuned, there's a slight possibility the turbo car may be coming as well.

Good deal. I have a few racers that I'm trying to get bring their cars too to "spice up things". Slim pickings though because of the NHRA division 2 finals at SGMP that weekend!

I might have to get them to put a "in-progress" catagory so I can bring the Nova out, otherwise I'll be stuck with the golf cart for wheels!

I think we should drink beer at either the brand new Outback on Silver Springs Blvd. or at El Taxco right behind this Outback. They are both within a mile of Silver Springs and El Taxco has 32oz drafts. Two of them, and im good togo!

I also have a new phone since last year, and job. And a couple new cars too! I will shoot you a PM with my new number. Im really looking forward to the show again this year. I think its going to be a lot bigger.

I drove by that hotel I was telling you about today. Its not open yet, but looks like it should be opening in the next week or so. My girlfriend said theres another brand new one across the street from the park. Shes going to get the name of it tomorrow on her way to work for ya.

Hotel update:

We'll have this on our website soon, but wanted to post here as well:

The old Holiday Inn directly across from the park has now become The Inn and Spa at the Springs. Same address obviously, phone number is 352-236-2575


A new Holiday Inn Express opened just west of the park (about .3 miles from the park).

5360 E Silver Springs Blvd.

Silver Springs, FL 34488

Hotel front desk: 352-304-6111, fax: 352-304-6112, reservation line 800-448-2296, www.hiexpress.com


Just an FYI...

The Holiday Inn Express is going to be the nicest, closest hotel.

The other one I was talking about is probably about a mile down the road. Its called 1-800-value-place. Not even open yet, but you may want to check and see when it open. (Since it will be brand spankin new) looka like it could open any day now.
