So we have people complaining about Rob updating the thread at least once a day...people complaining about the WCR being the same weekend as RRC...and now people complaining that we are going to be "lost" in another car show that may or may not be at the same place now.

Did anyone find out yesterday if Cool September Days is moving for sure or is it just a possibility?

Maybe just to shut some people up, Rob might want to think about updating the thread once a week?

I know we can't please everyone and maybe its just a vocal minority, but its putting a damper on an event still about a year away (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Thoughts?

Has anyone read the reviews for the Horizon? Looks dumpy and I really wonder how many people are going to want to stay in a hotel that may be slated for demolition. Either way, sounds like it really needs renovating. I vote we look into a different venue.

Randy,

A little background history on the Horizon. The group leasing the property were evicted by the property owner for not paying the lease and failing to maintain recently. The property owner has stepped in and is operating the hotel and casino.

I hear your concern and I do share it to an extent. Personally, I can stay in a tent and be happy but my wife uses terms like "5 Star Hotel" when she talks about travel. So I have to consider the quality of the hotel when I travel too... I suspect that the average guy in our target audience is happy with a bed without fleas, a shower and a shitter as long as they can hang in the parking lot with the guys.
The other hotels that are across the street and next door have very nice reviews I am sure. Harvey's. Harrah's etc...

Our problem is finding a venue that will allow us to congregate and a big bonus would be allow us to autocross. The Horizon will. Historically none of the others have even listened beyond the congregate in the parking lot thing as this is exactly what they try to keep their sucurity people from letting happen.
