BGPM 2008, Sept. 4th - 6th

**GR8racingfool** · 01-04-2008

The GF another member and myself all shared a room, and split the cost of it 3 ways. So @ $45./night each one of us paid $60.00 before tax. THATS freaking cheap for how nice of a hotel this is in Branson of all places.

Lunch is cheap, dinner is cheap, shoot the whole event is cheap for what you get out of it. Best bang for the buck, and I am glad its in September, cause I have all the time from now till then to look forward to it. Makes working my job easier in the summer knowing I have this waiting for me at the end of the season.

Drive for us to the hotel from Wichita, KS was around 5 hours I believe. But in a caravan, and listening to good music the whole way it only felt like 2.5-3 hours for me.

LOL! I haven't seen that pic in awhile.

That was Coltrane's HUD image though his windshield. He was trying to keep up. I sure hope he goes this year, Grand Prix or not, hes fun to hang out with.

That's what I get for knowing the cars and not the people's faces. Was looking for the GP not the TL and was so busy/distracted that I never got to talk to him (or quite a few members) or get my fenders rolled.

lucky ya'll it'd be a long trip for me i can't afford to come this sucks :-(

Come on now, that's only like 7 1/2 hours. I we left at the same time. You could be unpacked, full stomach, and drunk before I got there. Really, everything is pretty cheap and reasonable. Put your mind to it and save the little needed weekly to go.

Shoot, sorry I didn't track you down then, I just assumed you had changed your mind about the fenders, and no one else asked so I never got the tool out. If you can make it another 8 months

I'll either bring it or sent it with Farns if I don't make it.

No problem, luckily it was raining. With all the parts, luggage and people in my car they were rubbing pretty good. Under normal circumstances around here I don't have too many issues (in storage til spring anyways). I had talked to you a bit on CGP and it was a good thing offering your services for charity. Sorry, I was going in too many directions. I thought you weren't able to make it until Farns said you had been there and as soon as he said that I was like, "It was the TL wasn't it?" Not sure what all I'll have done by BGPM08. Big hopes, but see what actually comes through. Hope to see you there and thanks for the offer if I do need it.

Got my room booked.

I just called the hotel, the office was closed so I left a message to call me back. About 30 minutes/hour later they called, and now I'm all set.

I know what you guys mean, I too prefer a more one on one personal response when booking a room, just to make sure its done correctly, and I didn't mess things up when making the reservations.

So, I'm set, now just save back some ends to pay for the event its self when that opens up. I plan to pay for that the day it opens, in hopes they have a "first to register get somehting cool" thing again this year.
