Just nailed down final numbers on hotel rates and recommendations. It is down to 2 locations; the Holiday Inn at the Long Island Mac Arthur airport and the Radisson in Holtsville, NY. Rates are both $109.00 thru a discount deal I get with a local business. This may not sound cheap but for this area it is a good deal...parking is ample for truck/trailer unless they are jammed full but it is still possible to park in back at both locations. There are some downscale hotels in the area but I cannot recommend them. Also, parking at these places is limited at best (you can, however, get a 3 hour rate!!). Anyone who is interested must let me know prior to arrival and I will make arrangements for the rate. It is possible that some of you could get a better rate if you are employees of a hotel chain or the like. If that is the case, please let me know.

The airport Holiday Inn is a bit closer to the launch area and the Radisson is very close to the Sonoma Grill where we will have the driver's meeting on Friday evening. In any case, the drive time to the ramp will be less than 15 minutes.

Regards,

G-

I've got more,a 30 superboat,34 scarab,and probally a 32 veryfast skater Tripps

Gary,
I think Carny has a buddy with a 29 Baha who makes pizza that's coming too.

If anyone wants to splash thier boat Friday, so they don't have to on Saturday can tie up at my house for the night. 10 minutes away from where we are all meeting by water. There are local ramps here too.

For everyone traveling, Gary's advice on the hotels is right on. I just got married last summer and had 50 people coming in from all over the country for the weekend. I came up with similar info on hotels locally. Especialy the 3 hour ones.

I bought a new digital camera and plan to takes lots of pictures of the run for the board. People need to know how cool it is to run boats down here. Damn are we going to have fun...:D

Tripps,

I assume all your guys are coming from the Babylon area by water, yes? Looking forward to meeting you all.
Hard to believe we are down to 10 weeks!

Again folks, I am looking for a count on trailered participants.

GF
