ATTENTIOIN-ATTENTION in the pit area, This is your FINAL class call !!!
Just a reminder folks, because of this (NATIONAL HOT ROD REUNION) being such a large event, the hotels will NOT hold our block of rooms past the 25th of THIS month. At last count there are only 2, possibly 3 at the most, rooms left. I know we have some procrastinators and I don't want anyone left out.
Half the fun is being at the same hotel for breakfast & evening chats in the lobby. Here's yer info if needed:
SLEEP INN / 270-842-3800 Be sure to mention you are with the "DRAGLIST" group for the $71.99 room rate.
(For your GPS ) 185 Greenwood Ln. Bowling Green KY. 42104

When it gets a little closer we will see who wants to do what tours. I want to get us in the same tour group together like Pro Z did for the Mint tour. And to insure this they warned me to book ahead of time as it's Fathers Day weekend and they expect to be VERY busy. So far the best seem to be:
Tour of the CORVETTE assembly plant. Less than 10 mins from hotel. (no, they don't give free samples )
The Corvette Museum (also less than 10 mins from hotel.)
We did NOT do this, but, it looked real good. Under ground cave boat tour. Just a short walk down a paved path, then you board a pontoon style boat, sit down and they take you thru the cave.
These are just suggestions, NOT carved in stone. if you want Linda will get us booked on any, or all, of these. If no interest that's ok too.
(PS) I can get us in the CORVETTE Plant tour FREE
Oh, almost forgot, Friday evening at the host hotel,5 mins away, is the HALL OF FAME INDUCTION ceremony. (also FREE) all are welcome, but the gals may want to go shopping, as it's a lot of Drag racing history. (BP & Danny will LOVE it ) Unfortunately, Dave McClelland is no longer MC'ing this event. Also immediately after the event, they ALWAYS CACKLE a NITRO car ( or two ) in the hotel parking lot.
