Eric...
You better get yourself a place to stay fast! There is some motorcycle show going on at the Tacoma Dome the same weekend, and most of the rooms in the city are gone. We have to stay at the $Sheraton Tacoma$ because it was the only place left that was close to the Swiss Tavern. We have to start practicing being 'High Rollers' because we'll be spending a lot more money on the hotel room this year for sure!
Can't wait.....

shit man, i just got off the phone with some hotels down there. the shereton is fucking spendy!! it is close though.
called some of the places out a bit. better prices, but i'm thinking they are kind of sketchy. one place doesn't take reservations!! they probably rent rooms by the hour.
where did you stay last year? i just don't want to get stuck in some shit hole where i'm worried about my girlfriends safety, or if my car will be there in the morning.

We stayed at the Ramada last year. It's a great place. It has under-ground parking with a full-time Guard. We made friends with the guy last year and he watched our stuff like a hawk! No worries at all.
Too bad it's full this year

A bunch of us from SE Washington are leaving Friday morning. We're in the Aces & Eights and look forward to meeting you guys. Also, we got rooms at the Ramada Express in Fife.(just a couple of miles down the Pac. Highway from the Swiss). If they still have rooms, they were about $49 for one bed and $63 for two beds. Their address is on the Pac. Give a shout if ya need more info. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I've never had any fun without you Danny but we'll try, I guess. We're heading down on Saturday morning with about ten cars. We expect free parking Dale by the way, in the reserved area you have set aside for diehards. You do have a reserved area set aside for diehards don't you? That's what you promised us when you thought up this whole thing, remember? You do remember don't you? Looking forward to the drive. See you Saturday, dug

Well it does not look like I'm gonna make it now, my third member in the coupe is howling like a dog in heat. It started out kind of quiet and 10 miles later I had to turn around. Gonna see if I can find one around here with the right yoke. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Hello, Bellyjello here. I'm the new guy. Where is this hotrod-a-rama? I'm kinda new to rodding. I've always liked them growing up. I've been around cars my whole life . My Dad and uncles have a few collector cars. My brother deals in vettes and rods. <font color="red"> </font>
