Hello all: Not to be the ingnorant one here but what happened in Green Bay that has caused the pwr tour to avoid this city like the plague??

[Charley Lillard]

The venue in Green Bay was Lambeau field. When I got there the guy at the gate siad I had to go somewhere else after I had been waiting in line for 1/2 hour plus. I drove around looking for another entrance but there wasn't one. I went back and was ready to crash the gate I was so pissed but he then waved me in. Then finding a place to park was a bitch but I managed to park in front of a vendors booth. It turns out Green Bay had rented out a large portion of the parking lot to the Jehovahs Witness convention so there was not enough room for the Power Tour participants. Near the end of the day you could see pissed off people cruising through the event still looking for a spot to park. Some just finally stopped and parked in the isleways. Later some of them returned to find their cars had been towed. So you have driven your car across country to have it end by having your car towed because the idiots towing your car did not give you enough places to park because they double rented out the venue. Idiots. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Sounds like they (GB) were not very interested in having the PowerTour in their town and they got just what they deserved.
That had to be a blow to the local economy. I hope that those of you that live there will write a letter to the powers that be pointing out their loss.

I also hope that storm damage will not be a negative factor in the stops in Fla.

I wonder why they are stopping at Birmingham Race Course http://www.birminghamracecourse.com/ ? That is the Dog Track. I wonder if they meant the Barber Motorsports Park http://www.barbermuseum.org/ ?? Heres A link to the Track on the Museum property http://www.barbermotorsports.com/ .

Does anyone know how they handle the hotel reservations.......if you sign up for the long haul are you responsible for making your own or does Hot Rod take care of this?????? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

They have a Travel agency type setup that you will be able to contact to make room reservations but I feel better doing it myself. They will post a list of the host hotels and surrounding hotels. When they post the list it is good to make the reservations early. Or you can let the travel agency do it but they ask you for 1'st 2nd and 3rd choices and you get what they give you. Follow the links at www.hotrod.com (http://www.hotrod.com) and keep watching for updates.
