That place is far too nice for us easterners. :lol:

Post by **Casey 65** » July 21, 2007, 9:33 am

Ain't no place too nice for Slick 60's. We need the easterners at Slcik Stock! The Platte County tourism folks have been a real help in getting the hotel and the folks at the hotel are excited for us to be there. There is a meeting room on the 11th floor with a view of the parking lot that the manager of the hotel said, "We need to get a photo of all your trucks parked together from here." I think we are going to have a blast in '08. I just hope we in Kansas City can come close to what happened in '04 & '06.

I'm sure ssIII will be great. We know how much work & time it takes, Like in Field Of Dreams, build it and they will come. I can only see it getting bigger every year.

Will be there as an easterner transplanted to the west coast. Will have the new rig there. Hopefully pick up a few Texans along the way....

Can you make reservations this far ahead of time?

Hopefully I will be able to make it. I think I am on the right path to getting to SS08... I am one number 1 (Dakota) and my list is 4 items long. Hopefully this hotel won’t fill up by the time I am ready to make my reservations if it does I will sleep in my truck won’t be the first nor the last time. Hell I could always pitch a tent in the bed of the truck.

If they're building custom crap all over t.v. in 8 days, then surely I can finish mine in a year... I'm trying like hell anyway.

But regardless if I drive my own, ride in another or outright fly into KC - I'll be there fur shure and don't want to miss this one!

tried to book my room today :cry:

I was told they can't take resevations for August 08 until September first :oops:

Apparently they have a only 50 week room reservation system :shock:

And yes I did mention I was with slick stock

Post by **Casey 65** » August 17, 2007, 8:39 pm

Well Drat! I wasn't told that. I sorry for the mixup. :oops:

Max · Post by **Max** » August 28, 2007, 9:58 pm

I heard the same on the day you posted the info., but I wasn't worried. They said they have plenty of rooms and definitely knew about us. Just said their computers couldn't keep up that far, that's all.

Max

My dad and I might try to make the trip to SS08. My mom lives about an hour and a half from KCMO so We'd probably just stay at or near her place and drive up to visit with you guys for a day or two. I'd stay at the hotel with everyone, but I'm going to be strapped for hotel money as I'll be off another trip just two weeks before SS08.

castruck_1964 · Post by **castruck_1964** » September 13, 2007, 8:15 pm

called today
resevation is made.
I'm there in 08

now I just have to finish my slick so I have something to drive :shock:
