Everyone is looking for a hotel rooms because the Quality Inn & the Hampton Inn hotels are both booked. All of the hotels are in Bartlesville, Ok which is only 4 miles from the car show. Fortunately Bartlesville has an abundance of hotels to choose from. Below are the next best hotel choices.

Fairfield Inn in Bartlesville, Ok telephone #(918)331-2100. It's about two miles from the host hotel and its a very nice place to stay. Also some good eating places in walking distance from the hotel....

Candlewood Suites in Bartlesville telephone # (918)766-0044 It is also a nice place to stay and a mile form the host hotel. Also walking distance to some good eating places.

Holiday Inn Express telephone # (918)766-0020 is a nice place to stay and is right by the Washington Park mall.

Stay tune for more...

If you have any more questions just let me know..

Happy Trails, Mick

 

Got my rooms booked yesterday .

 

wouldn't that be sumthin if @Ryan actually showed up this year...
I should be there if I ain't in chemo...might even bring the deuce pickemup

 

Look forward to seeing ya. Kool factor goes a lot higher when you show up.

 

I am iffy for this year 'cause my daughter and her husband be like, expecting their first child. If the baby comes early, I'll be there. If she hasn't popped out by show time, I won't. But sending in my registration regardless!

 

Planning on it again this year!

 

Getting excited!

Sent from my XT1585 using H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

This will be my first year although I've been to Starliner a few times. Can't wait.

 

I'm planning on being there this year!

 

See y'all there!

 

Looks like Clarence will be ready. I drove it today for the first time in almost 3 years. Got a few minor bugs to work out but nothing that would keep me from being there. New GM 350 crate motor runs great. Newly rebuilt T-350 trans shifts like it should. Newly rebuilt 8" rear makes no noise. New brakes stop like they should. etc., etc., etc.

(Mick; are the cops still looking for me? How 'bout the EPA and fire department?)

 

Hopefully this will make the 6 1/2 hour drive up on Thursday .

 

First time going for me. Just booked 2 rooms at the Candlewood Suites.

FYI: It's $92 per night, not $75 as stated above.

 

The wagon is running this year, so I won't have to disgrace the koolness with the Camaro Mick! LoL!

 

I'll be there! Can't wait - but I guess I have to.

 

Just a week away for me. Were heading up around noon on Thursday .

 

Tahlequah rolls out 11 am Friday only predicting three breakdowns

 

Mick! This hotel deal is killing me...first year that we wont be staying at the host...they really threw us for a loop by not letting us reserve our rooms last year when we checked out. Nevertheless, Mike is rollin the 56 up to Dustins' on Wednesday, we will be heading up early Thurs morning, and the rest of the crew will be there Fri morning! Ready for a good time as usual!

 

Sorry, the host hotel sold again and we have all new people in charge. I cannot believe how many times the hotel has been bought over the past 14 years. That is why they didn't take reservations last year because they knew the new owners would have their own computer system.... Hopefully next year the reservations will go smoother. Look forward to seeing ya guys.

 

I’m getting some questions about the pre-64. We have always been a pre-64 show just hadn't really enforced it. I know we have some years of cars & trucks that have similar body styles, you will not have a problem getting into the show. (For example Caddys, Rivieras and some pickups for example) We want kool vehicles attending the event
not brand new vehicles etc., If you have any questions let me know. Happy Trails, Mick

Kool example below.....

 

We have a lot of kool attending this year. We will have a flock of kool T-Birds attending the show this year.

We (the collective Stray Kat Kustoms we) just need to buy the host hotel. Rent it out 51 weekends a year, reserve it for SK500 one weekend a year!

 

Kool idea...

 

"The Kat House".

You're welcome.

 

Looking forward to attending this year I've missed it for several years now.
What time does registration start on Friday and anything going on that day?
Looked on the on the web site and saw no info.

 

Kool that you are coming back to hang out with us this year.

Friday registration will open at the Quality Inn in Bartlesville at 9am to 6pm.

We are going to tour Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower in Bartlesville
Guys gather all day but at 5pm we have the free Feed at Two Tall Okies & Rods shop in Dewey.

Below is the schedule for the rest of the weekend.


If you have any more questions just let me know, Happy Trails, Mick

 

My plan is still there to attend maybe next year with the Hudson. Still tying to get this insurance thing squared away and then maybe the rest will fall into place.
