2012 HRPT Hotels

[67 Malibu]

Boob, That would be Ed

Welcome FNG's (67 Malibu and dana 5)...

Hot Rod now shows Proving Grounds as the venue and mileage from hotels in Warren as 30+ miles. Shows mileage from HIE in Wixom as 8.5 miles. There are plenty of rooms within 15 miles. Looking more like it will actually be at the Proving Grounds everyday. Almost close enough to stay home and not get a hotel, but the hotels are half the fun

We were talking about the proving grounds as a venue & trying to figure out how they would agree to open it to the general public for the show considering all of the rules & security we had for the long hauler event last June? But we went ahead & grabbed rooms at the Wixom HIE and hung onto our rooms at the Baymont in Roseville just in case.

I don't know what you are trying to say...I am a little slow

Rocketman - I asked you if you needed help sourcing parts for the motor in your new ride and you said you were good. Now you are saying you are slow - I am confused (like that is something new or unexpected)

No wonder we get along

Looking at the satellite photos, it would be easy to park the spectators near the buildings just inside the entrance on General Motors Drive and then park the participants near the buildings near Dupont Circle. Plenty of room without giving free access to the rest of the facility. The driver's meeting on Sunday morning may include a little driving tour again before heading out. We just have to wait and see!!

thought it was...FENTON,MO. and MIAMI,OK.???

Actually i am heading to ROLLA,MO. to do some rte.66 stuff; so probably not going to stay in FENTON. makes drive that day shorter and more sideroad time. want to go to DEVILS ELBOW BRIDGE , AND take in some local stuff.

I made that mistake in 2010 Bob - booked three HEI's for the last three stops - thought I was doing great until I realized NO CANCELLATIONS OR changes allowed AND they charge your card right then and there too - I'll remember that.

Also, we might actually head back towards Madison on Saturday to attend Monster Mopar Spring Fling on Sunday, in which case we wouldn't go home via Memphis.

i'm at the HIE in Brighton friday and Saturday, HEI in spring lake, Candlewood suites in Champaign then have to come home after Gateway.

[novadriver]

Ok just booked rooms At HI on Van Dyke and HIE in Wixom for the 1st and 2nd. I will cancel one or the other once stop one is all figured out. Then It's the Days Inn in Grand Haven for the 3rd. Haven't got one for IL yet that will be my last stop on the trip. I want to stay there but we might hang out for a while and start the trip towards home and stay along the road somewhere. Just to shorten our 10hr trip home.

My travel agent(my wife) just knocked $20. off our Detroit rooms at a Motel 6. $78 plus tax for 2 nights.
We are down to $439 for the tour plus one stop near Davenport.

She's a good shopper - Motel 6's are a crapshoot though - literally. Some are nice (Springfiled, IL. and Jacksonville, FL. come to mind) and some are down freaking right spooky at times (Mobile, Birmingham come to mind). When the pizza place says sorry we don't deliver there - that's a warning.
