Can we make reservations at the Double Tree yet?

[SS427]

Dennis,
Yes you can and they are honoring the $99 price at this time. I was too late in November to get the $99 room so I paid $129 but what a room! It was likely the best room I have ever had anywhere near that price range. Huge!

In addition, Mr. Ashton supplied me with this information;

We have secured a “Marshalling Yard” for participants to park trucks/trailers. It is about 4-5 blocks from the Convention Center and we pay for this. (meaning Free to you). We run a shuttle back and forth during Friday Move-in (9am – 9pm) and also on Sunday for move-out.

For general parking, there is a parking deck across the street from the Convention Center and connected to the Host Hotel. The rate there is $11 per day (charged each time you leave and return on same day) or we have a special multi-day pass which you can purchased from us at check-in on Friday for $17.

For passes, you will get two multi-day passes (per car). If you need additional multi-day passes, they can be purchased at check in for $20 (for exhibitors and their crew) Friday only. Cars need to be there Friday anytime between 9am-9pm and remain in the building until show closing at 6pm Sunday.

[ORIGLS6]

Cool. I'll call tonite. What about indoor trailer parking at the Stephens Center? (for those so inclined)

Allowing? I think "Honored to be able to host..." would be more appropriate! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I believe there is a young lady from Southern Illinois who will also be joining us. Annie...are you out there? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

And don't forget our Straight Axle and Vintage Race Car Showcase. We have some real surprises in store that will be seeing the light of day for the very first time in many, many years.
http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

And BTW....http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif to the sYc!

I think this time I will bring my RS SS ZL1.

[Xplantdad]

John...is that the car that Darren drove on his birthday get together? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[ssl78]

Yes Bruce, I was lucky enough to be able to buy it back. Some cars you regret selling my problem is it ends up being most of them.

[Xplantdad]

Very cool John. That Camaro is cool...

I hope all is well with you. Go and give Darren a ride in it for me! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[DarrenX33]

Dru- Completely undersand your point, I for one love that car. I need you to help me shop for my next car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Time to bop this one up again.

We have an awesome array of LS6's signed up already.

Let's fill the front sYc block again with a fine representation of sYc Supercar members rides!

Judged or Non Judged is welcome. As an sYc Member with TC's approval, you are an "Invited Guest" and if you are a Non Comp, there is no fee.

Bring 'em on!

BA

[LS6 RAT]

I have never attended this event before, but with the two members putting together (possibly the largest)display of both LS6 Chevelles and LS6 Corvettes all in one place, I am definitely comming!
Is this convention site near the DoubleTree Hotel? Is O'Hare the airport that one would want to fly in to? Will all the LS6 entrants be staying at a certain hotel? I am very much looking forward to meeting first hand several of the members and their cars. Should one be there on Friday as well? Thanks for any assistance with these questions, I certainly want to be in the "thick of things" with fellow members and their cars. Thanks, Warren

[olredalert]

-----Warren,,,I think you are correct on all counts. The only thing I can think of is that LS6 guys will probably stay all over the place but we will all get together for chow and cold ones!!! I will look forward to running into you at the show so we can catch up.......Bill S

[bashton]

Warren;

The DoubleTree is indeed right across the street and is also the home of a great steakhouse. Our special Chevy Vettefest rate is $99 and it is really a nice hotel and very convenient. A majority of the out of town participants stay here, but there is quite a variety of other hotels in the area that are also convenient.

YES, you want to fly in to O'Hare,(NOT Midway) as it is literally about a mile from the Convention Center. No need to rent a car, either take the Hotel shuttle or a quick 5 minute cab ride.

Any other questions, feel free to give me a call (248) 373-1700 or e-mail [email protected]

THANKS;

Bob Ashton

Actually, Mr. Barnhardt has not made the "official" commitment just yet, but another member with an L78 Nova did.

Perhaps a call from "The Original Geezer" to Mr. B. would clinch that one.
