Thursday Night

I will be at the Hotel Thursday Night. Look for the hot guy in the Opel Gear by the pool...sorry not Roy. Craig, check with Harold, as he might split a room with you, or he will mooch on someone I'm sure, just don't let him eat your part of the Continental Breakfast
Keith

last minute questions

A couple of last minute things..
HOW Can I get into the speedway/show Friday morning.. Roy I didn't ask u to send me the "package" my mistake? or can u leave it at the front desk?
Keith.. I'll look 4 u at the pool if I get in early.
Not sure who Harold is.. I usually recognize screenames but attaching them to the real name/face is a whole other thing...
Are there going to be name tags.. I know they were used in the past and worked real well
I'm happy to split room (and the bill..hell I'll even pick up the tax) w/Harold or any fellow Opeler
I'm crossing my fingers hoping the hurricane stays away from Charlotte.

There will be name tags, Roy got them last week. The packages will be handed out Friday night in the conference room. Harold is the infamous(?) "hrcollinsjr" on this site, a shifty-eyed, no-account....wait, that's me.....never mind

Just to let all know, I will be bringing the "Can of Keys" for those who wish to donate, or you can check gas caps, door locks, ignitions.....

Thanks Gene - I have some old keys to donate and hope to find a door key that matches my ignition - crossing my fingers... I have the key codes to both - does that help in any way or do you just have to use trial and error?

Door key

Matt, you mean we hope to find a door handle with the same code that matches your ignition. If you have two codes, one key will not work. Also I will be bringing the key cutting tool and several precut keys. as well. I have coded. If you have blanks, we might be able to help you out.
Keith
Also two gas caps without keys for the can of keys

We are packed and ready to leave. Don McLean is here and we plan to leave around 6:30 am. We are meeting up with Tom Cavataio around 8:00 a.m. Then plan to meet up with John and Connie Dickerson around 10:30 to 11:00 a.m.

Depending on the number of stops and the weather, we should get there sometime around 3:30 - 4:00 (hopefully)

See everyone then

The weather looks like it is going to cooperate as well!

For those attending the AutoFair early, Food Lion grocery stores are the sponsor and have two dollar off coupons in their stores. If we, Roy & I, get going early enough Friday I'll try to drop off some extras that I picked up. You'll have passes Saturday!
