2010 Nats Hotel Poll

[mtlcafan79]

I would like to get a bit of a head count for planning purposes. How many people are planning on attending the Nats and staying at the host hotel? The more people we get the better the rate. Also, if people can come in Thursday night and stay through Sunday the rates drop significantly as well.

[2k1AmberR/T]

I'm voting for host hotel Thursday through Sunday in case anyone cares.

[RTchas]

I dunno what Im doing waiting to hear from B&B on reservation, if its no go I will be @ Host from Thru-Sun :biggthumpup:

[Andrewr/t]

I would do 3 nights. Thurs-Sat Night.

[bad360rt]

I would do 3 nights. Thurs-Sat Night.

I believe that's what he means by Thurs-Sun, checking out Sunday morning.

I'm in for Thurs-Sun. :biggthumpup:

[stretchgwin]

we plan on rolling in thurs night and leaving sunday morning... so yeah. Have we decided on a host hotel yet??

[PHILLYRT]

Usually There Friday-sunday But Its Not A National Meet Unless You Roll In On Thursday....

See You On Thursday :o)


Ps Please Dont Set The Hotel At One Of These Fuck Stick Hotels That Are Like 45 Mins From The Show Field! Please Only Consider Stuff On Rte 11 Within 10 Mins .....

Carlisle is a big event in itself, hopefully we CAN find the space within 10 minutes of the show........

[mtlcafan79]

The host hotel is on Rt 11 and is exactly 12 miles from the gate at Carlisle. There is parking for 600 cars , two bars/restaurants, pool, conference rooms etc. There is an Autozone nearby for those that need to replace crank sensors in the parking lot, a Hooters, a Denny's within stumbling distance, etc. The hotel has a contract that I have to negotiate with and sign before we can start making reservations. Once we have that taken care of I will let you guys know ASAP!

NO WAFFLE HOUSE?!!

This is outrageous. :jester:

[mtlcafan79]

There's a Waffle House in Carlisle itself. We will just have to pile into a rental car again for the ride.

:rockwoot: Last year I stayed with a buddy about 20-25 mins south of Carlisle. It'll be a hell of a lot more fun staying nearby for all of the shenanigans!!

Holy crap. Don is coming to Carlisle. No wonder it's so cold outside.

[Special Ed's R/T - Yaaaay]

Holy crap. Don is coming to Carlisle. No wonder it's so cold outside.

the question is, in which truck :D

[RobbyD]

Bringing a spare this time LOL

I figured that was directed towards someone!

[mtlcafan79]

As far as I know you sold your R/T after the ATL Nats. Nobody has seen it since then.

If you want to park with us on the show field, you need to bring the R/T. The Ram will have to park elsewhere in the Ram section.

you know, I've been jerking with this stupid motor business since then. Hopefully this should be the end of it. I'm pretty sure I'll be back together & tuned by then. :biggthumpup:

[bad360rt]

It better be the R/T! (yes, I know, pot, kettle, blah, blah, blah lol) :D

I figured that was directed towards someone!

Yeah, mine went out at the track at the St. Louis meet. Got a tow back to the hotel on Ed's trailer and then had fun swapping it in the parking lot. Hopefully there are no issues like that this year. Altho, I have to get the damn thing on the road in order to have issues. LOL

You realize what your saying right??? The penalty for showing up again with out your truck could be, well let me just say, you don't want to know!!!:goodluck:

[sunike32]

I'll be there. Not sure if I'll be rolling in Thursday or Friday yet...

[bad360rt]

Between Don showing up and Dave's truck showing up...the rest of the club should start a betting pool.

I didn't say it would be running, I said it would be there, I'll throw that bitch on a trailer if I have to. :nana:

Do Don and I get to split the proceeds if we show up with our R/Ts? :D

[2k1AmberR/T]

If that's what it takes to get you both to show up...definitely. :nana:

[White Turbo]

Too bad I won't be there...

BUT.... If I did make it....






I would certainly volunteer to help Dave push his truck on and off the trailer.
And maybe around the parking lot too:nana:

I would also make really loud truck noises that simulate a 425 cu. in engine.....

I would stay the whole time, I'd love to do Thursday night get there sleepthen wAke up to be one of the first there lol, depends on the price difference with fri thru Sunday though!

[Aves]

Will there be any room to ark a truck and trailer while there?

[Five9Dak]

Count one of the friday votes as variable depending on price difference.

[Rick Adams]

[QUOTE Do Don and I get to split the proceeds if we show up with our R/Ts? :D[/QUOTE]

Only if they both run :jerkit: :goodluck:

[mtlcafan79]

Will there be any room to ark a truck and trailer while there?

Yes. The parking lot is large enough to hold 600 cars.

[Last_in]

I'm going, mark me down.

[badinfluence]

what hotel are you guys planning on?
if drinking is involved,i have doubts about the hour drive back home.

[2k1AmberR/T]

if drinking is involved,i have doubts about the hour drive back home.

With all the damn signs I saw about DUI's while driving through PA and the fact that beer is about the hardest thing you can find in any store there...I can't say I blame you.

[badinfluence]

Of the drinkers I know,more have dui's than not. I won't even drive with a minimal buzz

[ddrango]

Any update on hotel choice?

[sunike32]

No post = no update :biggthumpup:

There is action that needs to be taken at the Exec level. We have a meeting on Thursday.

Umm...it's Thursday now. You've had almost 5 whole hours this day to discuss via AIM the details. What's the verdict? I have my credit card out ready to make reservations!

(By the way Russ, if you've been such a stickler for the past 2 weeks about hotel information and you don't plan on making a reservation within 24 hours of hearing the final decision I'm going to probably laugh quietly to myself). :jester:

Well, how much is it going to cost? I'm new to this not sure how much it will be, although I know the show is $40

[bad360rt]

So who are the three losers that aren't staying at the host hotel? :nana:

If cost is a factor, you can usually find someone's floor to crash on. That's better than camping and at least you're in the middle of it all. :biggthumpup:

Bed covers are there for a reason :nono:

[mtlcafan79]

All I will say is that Carlisle hotels are not cheap. If you would like cheap, please proceed to drive 30min+ from the fairgrounds and stay in some dump with 6' ceilings and crayon drawings on the wall (Avoid the Dillsburg Super 8), or has nothing near by, or has some sort of disease growing in the shower. FWIW last year we stayed at somewhere "cheap" for $85/night.

The host hotel this year has a pool, two restaurants/bars with more stuff near by, has the ability to host/cater our banquet if needed, is closer to Carlisle, and is generally much nicer. It will cost more, but we are getting what we are paying for. They are giving us a group rate that is cheaper than any rate on their website.

Don't forget you will be paying for the meet itself if you want to join us for raffle prizes, awards, and dinner Saturday night. There will be an additional charge for non-DRTC members. Those numbers I have not figured out yet as it depends on the venue we end up at which is determined by how many people show up. The place I have initially selected holds up to 30. The host hotel can support up to 50.

[bad360rt]

Also keep in mind that you can split a room to keep costs down, that's what a lot of folks do. I'd rather pay a lil more and stay at a nicer hotel that has a restaurant/bar and stuff nearby. :biggthumpup:

[sunike32]

:rofl: I still can't believe he did that.

[mtlcafan79]

I think it's more where he happened to pass out.

That sounds good! I've been planning to become a paid member of this site lately if it helps at all for Carlisle. $85 a night doesn't one bad at all either...

[mtlcafan79]

The hotel will be more than $85. Please read slower. lol...

[sunike32]

lol I started to type a response to his but I decided I'd let someone else.

[ddrango]

Yea I know you said more than $85 lol, just saying $85 is good, I've been looking at places and the closest hotel room for two was $96 a night

[ADakotaRTGuy]

If you split it I am going to guess its going to be about 70 a night. You plan on bringing your lady friend? If not I don't mind splitting a room, but I won't get their until Saturday.

[2k1AmberR/T]

Bed covers are there for a reason :nono:

Hahaha, I slept with the bed cover down to help with warmth and keeping bugs away. Tailgate down, a few beers in. I also had an air mattress so it wasn't TOO bad. I just couldn't really move at all with the bed cover being down.

I like Dave's comment on the 3 stooges! I'm curious also. Camping isn't such a good idea, I learned that one last year. Host hotel or bust.

[2k1AmberR/T]

lol I started to type a response to his but I decided I'd let someone else.

Gotta watch what you say on the internet, apparently some people might actually get offended LOL!!! (not going to mention any names :jerkit:) Fortunately Russ seems to set himself up day after day but doesn't give a damn so it's fun for everyone, even him. :woot:

Yea I plan on taking the woman. Don't think it'll be a problem sharing a room for a night though! (I take it you're coming Saturday so would only need a room for sat night)

Ok ....so hotel near carlisle. With bar and banquet rooms.... so we are staying at the holiday inn on 11 where the uconn cock connection stays... nice place.. further then I usually stay but there is a back road to gate 3 which helps... wandas is agood bar. You said. One hotel can block 30 and the other can do 50... what is the other hotel? $qqt isn't bad for car show weekend since all rates get jacked up.

[mtlcafan79]

That's the place. They can do up to 50 for a banquet on the night we requested. The other place is for 30 in downtown carlisle at a bar there. Just don't reserve yet. The block isn't finalized.

[PHILLYRT]

No high standards here but I only live 2 hours from carlisle so staying in a motel an hour away is pointless and paying to stay in a room that can be seen from space when you hit it with a black light is just wrong...

The truck might make it if chas makes it run right..... I have a heated and air conditioned garage now for him to spend all his free time in lol... I have no money to put into the truck so if he gets in worked out ,my truck will still be rough but i'd be happy just to be able to drive it! We'll see
