Damn,,,,that awning at the new hotel looks great for the Gizzle hopper to cackle under........... LOUD I would say.

 

Why the change? Did we piss the hotel off last year with the Gizzle Hooper making too much noise,,heh heh heh? We plan on mamking even more this year...95%

 

AND,,, there plenty of room for mini bike drags too! indoors even!!!

 

I had better start working on my resume now so that it won't be such a rush job in September.

 

WOOO! Got my room.

 

me too!!! hope were on different ends....your way to grab assy for me!!

 

oh my, i hope my room is FAR AWAY from the both of you!

 

I called and had them get us adjoining rooms.

 

ohh my!!! well, you bring the rubbers, and ill bring the crisco!!! and rob, what makes you think youll lose your job??? its only crisco!!!

 

Go ahead Todd. I've got some plans for a certain Super 8 in Keokuk. Do you know a place that rents livestock by the hour?

 

Hey Ryan, was that the hotel we stayed in the very first year we had the hamb drags? I hope so, cause the parking lot was awesome for trailers.

 

How about a little info for a hamb newcomer, like where, when , stuff like that. You guys act like it's a private party, I'm just asking.? If it's private, please forgive my ignorance DON

 

Here's ya go.

Disregard Ryan. I found it. Made my reservations. It's like old times.....

 

The satellite image looks like the marriott has a gigantic parking lot is that correct?

We will have two trucks with trailers, which hotel will be better for us?

 

Glen, I think you may be looking at a business. The giant parking lot looks like a mfg company maybe?

 

Ya, your probably right....I forget this is Joplin, not Dallas

 

Thanks.

Chris

 

The Holiday Inn Hotel and Convention Center has 700 parking spaces and its ease of parking is the reason why many trucking companies choose them. The Residence Inn is owned by the same company as the HI so where ever you stay you will have both properties in which to park on.

 

BTW, Those of you that are bringing kids, there is a really nice indoor skate/bike facility, just across the parking lot in view of the hotel. My two boys I think have already packed their boards they are so excited.

Just so you can come prepared, they have a printable form on the website that needs to be notarized prior for admission.

Here's some shots of the parking lot at the Holiday Inn that Rob with HI sent me.





As you can see there is lots of room for trucks, trailers and shenanigans.

 

Hello everyone! If you are making your reservations through Ryan's link for The Holiday Inn, here's a little extra info to speed up the process:

1. The link takes you to a main page where you will see on the left side a space to "Check Availability"

2. Type in the date of arrival and departure (Ex. 08/21/2009) and enter in the group code "HAM"

3. Make your other selections (# of Adults etc) but don't worry about rate preference.

4. Then, click "Check Availability". This will take you to a page to enter your personal information and reserve your room within the HAMB Drags Block.

You're welcome to PM me if you have any questions and I will be happy to help!

Just a reminder: HAM is a Group Code only and will not work as a discount code or otherwise.

 

Thanks for the info, I dont want to take up hot rod parking with trucks and trailers.

 

I like shenanigans...
