Ltx Party??? I just finally registered for the LTX Extreme Street class. I have a lame-*** stock short block which will be obliterated by the heavy hitters, BUT I don't care! What's really imporant is: will there be a sick party associated with this event??? I have attended other 'nationals' and there was always a parking lot party at an hotel with a lot of booze that eventually got out of hand. THINK: SY/TY NATS. 
Any plans for that? Please somebody in KC plan that. Otherwise, I may just have to drink my self into a stupor at a truck stop. Without the LT1 camardie that I really would like to have at this event. Or maybe I'll just gamble at on a river boat.
SERIOUSLY, could we have someone plan a social event for the participants? Please, Thanks.

As far as holtel's go I can't really suggest any great one's. I wouldn't tell you guys to stay somewhere I wouldn't leave my own car on a trailer. I will say Oak Grove isn't to bad (I work for the city, local PD is friendly) but it's is about a 25 minute drive to the track (I-70 to Noland, Go South, to track). Oak Grove has truck stops so there is ample parking at the hotels for vehicles with trailers. Aslo a large County type bar a few miles away (Whiskey Tango's in Grain Valley, if you like country music). There are several Hotels in Blue Springs right off I-70 however they have several people staying there as their perminat address if you know what I mean! There is a Courtyard by Marriot in Blue Springs which is nice but I don't know about trailer parking. I would avoid American Inn in Independence at all cost! Noland is a popular crusing spot on the weekends and the hotel is right at I-70 and Noland (lots of traffic w/ sticky fingers and quick Interstate access). Independence has a Hilton off I-70 I'm sure is nice, but also expensive! I really don't know much about hotels in Lees Summit but it is close to the track. As far as parties go I'd say they wil happen where ever people are staying!
I know I'm not the only local person on here so if anyone else has anything to add or suggest please do.
See you guys there!

A quality "host hotel" for the event near the track would be a good idea. If the event runs late, I'm sure a lot of people will be stay-over Saturday night and then hit the road Sunday morning.
Me personally, I never drink beer after an event unless I do good or bad.

That is what I'm thinking. A specified host hotel who offers special rates and agrees to a little more parking lot security that night. Not for drivers having a few beers, but to prevent the thievery.

The typical rules for alcohol at most tracks (other than methanol used in your race car) is; no alcohol consumption by drivers while competing and no alcohol in the staging lanes and starting line (anyone, including spectators).
However, the pits are typically a “green zone” for large quantity consumption! At most large race events (Power Aid, Lucas Oil, Summit Series) in the evenings you’ll find big cooks-out w/ beer, margarita machines and large social gatherings in the pits (a very important part of drag racing). It’s not unusual to see 30 or more golf carts (pit vehicles) parked at a party location in the pits.
Also, a very important part of drag racing is to have a bad-*** pit vehicle to make sure you can get to and from those big pit parties.

I am considering spending the night at the track to save on cost. Fuel alone is going to run me $450ish.
I was working on a deal on a hotel and I've expereesed that in a couple threads, but nobody spoke up. When everybody found out that camping would be allowed at the track, several said that they would rather camp than spend the money on a hotel.
I only live 5 miles from the track, but I was planning on camping out there to party or whatever.
If there is enough people interested in staying in a hotel, I can continue working on the deal. It would be at the DoubleTree hotel in Overland Park, KS, about 24 miles from the track. Most of the big groups that come to town (Sy/Ty Nationals, Viper Club, etc) stay at this hotel. The rate would be approximately $89/night. This hotel is in a very good part of town, so the risk is slightly lower than a hotel you would find close to the track.
