Mark your calendars boys and girls, those in the know tell me...

May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

Let's see what interest there is here for participation at this event.
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

Woo Hoo! I so want to be there again this year.
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

I wrote to them again this year to see if there's any way to assure that the Mark VIII's can park together for the auto show (only $20 to register). So if you are interested in attending this event, please post so we can use our numbers to convince them to let us register together.

Last year we registered and parked with the TCCoA. Really, it is SUCH a fun event!
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

Oh, I should clarify -- when I say park together, that's for the cars that will show (which if you're coming to the event just to watch is well worth it whether car is show worthy or not). If you are racing, you'd be parking in the pits. From what I remember, they do not allow you to do both.

Are YOU registered yet? ;)
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

It's so easy to register online now that LOD is an official sponsor! We're all guaranteed to park together! I just registered for the show. LOD will have a space for our own tent, too!
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

I of course will be there and I promise I won't work as much this year. I'll try to take it all off... except maybe be your greater/host when you get there.

I'd like to get an idea of those that will be attending so I can set up a hotel block. The last 2 years in a row we have had a group rate of $89.99 per night for a delux room at the Drury Plaza Hotel. More than likely I can make this happen again. But before I set it up I would like to know how many rooms to block off for the group. Parking at the hotel is $15 a night, however with enough rooms I may be able to negotiate that. Parking is in a secured garage within the hotel building as well.

The Drury Plaza Hotel is a downtown hotel in St. Louis. The arch is just across the street and Busch Stadium is 2 blocks away. Some of the admenities include a free hot breakfast, 1 hour long distance comped per day, and free evening beverages.

If interested please let me know as soon as possible. The hotel is allready 80% full for these dates so I will need to get a block in as soon as possible if people are interested. Here is a link to the hotel for those interested http://www.druryhotels.com/properties/druryplazahotel.cfm

Do NOT call the hotel yet to make the reservations. Let me know, I'll save you upwards of $40 per night. Do NOT book online either. Ler me know.

I'll see you all in May.
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

Count me in for a hotel room, Jay. Thanks! -- most likely I'll be staying Thursday through Sunday.
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

Sounds like a plan. Add me to the list for two people, Thursday through Sunday.
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

Which days are best to be there ? I can only take a 2 day trip, so probably arrive very late Friday, leave Sunday morning.
 
RE: May 18th-21st, World Ford Challenge, St. Louis MO.

okay okay ... I'll stay till 3:15 PM so I can watch you get the awards ... :)

If you're going to show, Saturday and Sunday are the days of judging.

I sent an email inquiring about this.

You may(and should) PRE-register for the show.

They only allow pre-registration for the Auto-Show.

You are able to register for race when you arrive at the event. :D

Now, all I gotta do is be ready for both. :7
