    Does anyone know if the hotel at Thunderbolt will be done in time for the convention? Their web site says they will have 500 rooms at the track; staying that close sounds good-if they have a hotel built in time..

    Thanks,
    Tim

    That is the million $ question - will the Hotel & the track both be done?

    Anyone close to the area?
    Anyone have "inside information"?

    I think the track has a chance to be done by July....but it's not a lock.

    ...I don't think the hotel has a chance in the world to be done anytime in 2008.

    I drove past the track location in August. Lots of dirt being moved. I hope they have it done, its less than an hour and a half from my house.

    Yeah me too! NJ is so close I can taste it! I can't afford going halfway across the country but I could do NJ. Let us east coasters pray for completion!

    I wonder if Rick has a back up plan, like last year?

    The backup plan is VIR, so it is still an east coast year.

    Yeah, and the cops would be all over us like white on rice. But then they couldn't catch all of us. Still the idea of a bunch of Shelbys strung from one end of the neighborhood to the other is kinda appealing.
