Default 2002 Expo --- Plans for Friday Night

Hello everyone,

I am at the point where I need to know if people would be interested in getting together at a restruant on Friday night, or if people would rather just be on their own.

Based on the first Expo, there weren't enough people to get together to make a reservation. People were getting in town through out the night, and everyone more or less just hung out in the Hotel Parking lot. Let me know your thoughts, and that's how it will be, coo? Also, shoot any other ideas.

BTW, the track will be accessable Friday evening for us to unload if we would like, and camping is also available.

actually I think a good thing this year wes is to make a BIG effort to get everyone at the same hotel/motel and do another tail gate like we did, we gave the night desk clerk a few beers and he left us alone, i actually had a great time just walkin in out of rooms talkin!

How close is the track to the hotel?
Are the eating places nearby?

I would hope that there is some sort relevry Friday night.
Early retirement after the dinner (gotta have a good nights sleep) and rise early for the trek out to the track.

I will be leaving early Friday morning and heading to Mi.
~13-14 hour drive = relaxing dinner for Willis.

Camping Roxzor! costs? Showers at the track?

I'm glad the EXPO is only 45 mins from home! I'm up for some activities the night before. There are some suitable places near the track.

The track is about 8 miles from the hotel, and there are plenty of places to eat around the hotel. I am working on finding the costs for camping, and yes there are showers available at the track.

I agree with you Fais, I found that to be a nice aspect also, just kind of mosey around and chit chat with everyone. I think that is what we will end up doing, but I just want to make sure everyone says

Ditto Will...

I think it would be cool to hang out at the hotel and chat/meet with everyone Friday night. I'm a pushover though, and anything's cool with me Can't wait until the Expo!

DV- who plans to be cruising up with Willis Friday morning

Southeast boys~ I'm thinking about leaving Thursday and driving up to Ohio to see Troy & Justin. Maybe catch one of those shows at the Diamond Club and get some cool pics like Justin has! Should cut the trip almost perfectly in half. Anyone else interested?

Wes-

Good to see you took this Expo ball and ran with it!!!

Most of the Mid-East coast boys are down for anything; beer, dinner, beer, chatting in the parking lot, beer. You set the hotel and we'll be there. Camping is one option but I myself would rather cram 5-6 of us into a room so that's it's cheap.
A Friday social would be a perfect time to meet other persons and lay back for a bit.

I might get the big but I thought it might be a good Idea to get little stickers 8-10 inches long made with our screen names to put on the corner windows? Each person would be responsible for their own sticker, should cost around $10 at any Qwik sign place. ?

As far as gathering on Friday I'm in.
