For the racers, there will be the option of camping at the track as well, no tents, but who tent camps in the pits anyway?

Booked my room a few weeks ago.
Car is in a million pieces now and still needs to be painted but it should be ready by then - 70 Peppergreen RAIV GTO, M21, 4.33, bench seat, manual steering, manual brakes, radio delete. Neat car that Matt M. found for me and Doug P. inspected for me while I was spending 15 months of fun in the Sunni Triangle. Still have to figure out how to get the wife, baby, and cat over to Korea and settled in June, start my new job, then take leave to come back for the Co-Vention... Scott

Robin said "My mistake it was Al Fanning not Larry". Our bad. But Al has probably read the facebook post quoting Doug by now.

Racers
The local track Kil Kare has posted a tenative schedule. I am not part of the convention planning but if they have the Pontiac race Friday, Saturday is the normal race day and they are having the Xtreme outlaw series also. It may also interest people that Thursday is test and tune!
•July 13 - Xtreme Outlaw Series & NHRA Summit ET Bracket Racing - Gates Open at 10:00 Adults $10, Student ID/Seniors 55 & Over $5, Military ID FREE! http://kilkare.com http://xtremeoutlawseries.com |

We have an agreement in place for track rental on Friday, July 12th from 8-4 for the official convention drag race. Racers can participate in the races you highlited above for Saturday. While it is not published yet, they have an announcement coming up about a new Thursday night program which Kyle said Pontiac racers would be welcome to participate in. Pending the announcement of the new Thursday night deal, I believe that tune and test is moving to Wednesday. If nothing else was going on, we could play at the track for 4 straight days! -Doug

Just a thought but you might try hotels in Springfield on Leffel Ln. It's exit 54 off of I-70. About 25 minutes to the Co-vention. Should be able to find hotels closer, but if not this is an option. It's all highway from here to the nutter center.

Okay, thanks for the heads up. Do you not need to be registered for the show in order to get a room rate? Is this like in years past where people reserve multiple rooms then get there and end up not using all their rooms?? Hard to believe all the area hotels are booked this early, guess early birds get the worm.

471 blocked rooms still available in the immediate area. If Joe Blow calls for a room and doesn't mention the convention, they should not be offered a blocked room, correct? Might be the issue right there!

Thanks for the additional info....got my wife on it now, she's in full on honey badger mode now she has stuff she wants to do when we are there. I think she booked a place about 25 minutes away. She's still looking for closer, but I'll forward the info to her. Thanks for all the help here fellas. Looking forward to the show.

Called the hope hotel twice, forgot the first time to tell it was for the poci convention, called second time and they stated they were 15 overbooked. Is that number accurate for the hope hotel Doug? Do I have to ask for a blocked room? I asked about the convention and still was told overbooked. ??
