    AWESOME!!! My son's and I are going to spend the night. We're wondering where the party is? Where should we get a hotel room?

    Trying to get my buddy to go. He has a very nice 68 GTO. He's afraid he would have to park far away from us. Do you know how they park people?

    John, The nearest hotel rooms are in Lakeland. My reservation is at the Comfort inn. As far as parking, the first yr I went they parked according to class so I was with all the Rivieras. (4) the next yrs they parked as you rolled in. I'd meet up with whoever else was coming that I knew and we'd all roll in together and get parked that way. Im expected to be parked with the ROA guys but will probably hang with the group from here.

    To Steve and Hector,
    Steve, sounds like the Comfort Inn will be the place! Looking forward to seeing you.
    Hector, are you driving your car up there? Want to cruise with us? It will be Alex and family in his car, Deb and I in my car, and I'm gonna see if my buddy wants to cruise his GTO up there with us.

    I am going to try to make it. I have a daughter that lives in Lake Wales, so not to far away. That way I ask my wife if she wants to visit the grandkids and Oh by the way there is a BOP car show near by.

    sorry, sorry John, damn I'm too busy in the shop to get on the computer. I'm on a computer every day for work and is the last thing I want to do on the weekends. I see some of you are staying in Lakeland. I was just going for the day its about and hour and forty minutes for me. But I would love to go out to dinner afterwards with the clan. I just can't drink beer with you guys :( I'm trying to get Bill Lock and Mike Nussell to join us, hopefully they can. Jeff and I are coming, not many guys from the club don't have cars anymore, or have lost interest in the hoby. So, we'll be there rain or shine, which weather pending I drive or tow.

    Fernando!!! What is happening? No apology needed because you took the weekend off. I hope you had a enjoyable relaxing time. Yes, a couple guys have mentioned going to dinner afterwards. That sounds great to me! Also, your friend Mike that was that was at BG., he told my son he had some airboat parts. Alex is very interested in them and wants to buy them. Is that the same Mike you mentioned above?

    yes, I will pm you his number if you like. Did you make a reservation at a hotel yet. Give that info in case I want to stay. Driving my 70 at night is getting harder to see. I need to upgrade the headlight from the candle lights it has now.
