I e-mailed them to see when they will open I will let you know when I get a response.


HIE is already open, and that literally right across the street from the show.

Derek, I have a rather stupid idea...How much trouble would it be to get the 4th Gens in a semi-close area this year? Last year it seemed the B-Bodies were kinda somewhat together, but there were F bods kinda scattered throughout? I realize our group and Joe were together, but we arrived at the same time...It might be cool if at least the preregs were grouped together? Oh, and leave one token space for the Mobile Bar, I mean the Silvy... Anyway, just another one of my ramblings...

It's hard to reserve space since the park has limited room.

We may have 65 pre-regs in a class (4th gen F-body for example), and only get 40 that show up.

Or have 10 pre-reg and get 8 of them plus 10 new ones register the day of the show. If we reserve spots based on class size it can get hard to fill spots.

I'm sure this is why our Mustang & Ford show has all models and years of Mustangs on the big part of the lawn (trying to group them in year ranges is next to impossible with over 1,000 cars trying to enter the park and get parked in a narrow 3 hour window).

As usual, you are welcome to get a group together at our Group meeting spot before entering the park, then enter the park together and we'll park you together.

Derek

If you had any idea how hard it is to wake up the rookie drunks early in the AM so we can all park together...LMAO

No good or bad stories. I have lived here and past it over a hundred times and never really noticed the place. It looks a little on the sketchy side, but not too awful bad. Probably wouldnt be the newest, cleanest hotel you could pick.

I called that value place, they will be open at the end of this month. You may want to see what they are charging. 1-800-value-place

Holiday Inn is right across the street from your hotel, and is also brand new. Dont know what kinda money they charge a night though.

Thanks for the info. We booked because its only 1 mile away from the park and it dont look all that bad and it works into the budget. I'll look into the holiday inn and if anything happins i can fix it and just tell everyone i stayed in a holiday inn express.

Ugh...Travelodge FTMFL. That place was rough. We were worried about the locals messing with the cars during their customary drug dealings and prostitution rings, but the real scare was the roach that tried to make off with Grants' SS on it's back.

Less than 2 weeks until pre-registration ends, and we surpassed 600 over the weekend. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

I can't get the system to re-stamp a confirmation # once they have been assigned. Sorry it worked out that way but I'm sure you won't get any less votes b/c your # is higher
