[Buddahaid]

Anyone else going to Reno? I have a ticket for Saturday and will bring back photos.

Well I certainly won't be there but look forward to seeing the pictures.

[Mr Quatro]

Hope you come back ... wasn't it just a couple of years ago that one of the planes crashed into the grand stands at Reno?

[Sailor Steve]

Hmm. I get paid Friday. It's a 6-7 hour drive. Motel room? I could sleep in the car. Am I too old for adventures like that? Probably. Besides, I'd be less interested in seeing the races themselves than in hanging out with another subsimmer.

I don't think I could survive it. :-?

See, Dowly showed me how to use multi-quote. I think I never used it as I was using Xp from work alot. :sunny:

Yeah it's a blood sport but that was a freak accident.

I'm booking a room for two and you'd be welcome to stay Steve although I don't know the ticket status as I'm getting mine through a older Navy vets connections.

[Sailor Steve]

Are you going to be there for the whole thing, or just a day or two?

[Buddahaid]

I only have a Saturday ticket this time and I expect to stay over Friday night. It's a four hour drive for me so I would leave Saturday evening. However, you have made me realize I need to check with Rick about what his schedule is and expectations are about the room booking. He's not inclined to get up early being a musician as well which is another cool point.

Okay, I just looked at the dates. I was thinking this weekend and wondering if I would be up for that. Now I see it's still three weeks away! I'm sure I can do that no problem.

I also looked at the ticket prices, and with the senior discount I'm also sure I can pay for half the room. :sunny:

I just got off the phone with Rick and we have a ticket for you if you're going. We'd stay both Friday and Saturday night but no hotel chosen at this point.

That would certainly work for me. I'd much rather make the drive back when I'm fresh after a good night's sleep.

It's looking like a plan. :rock:

[Buddahaid]

Way cool! Now it's choosing a hotel and we have no pride but do bring a guitar. :O:

[Sailor Steve]

Didn't even think of that, but will do! :D

[Buddahaid]

I booked a room at a Holiday Inn in Sparks for the 13th and 14th for three adults with two queen beds so we should be fine. Room total was $250.00. Looking forward to meeting you Steve.

[Sailor Steve]

Same here. Finally. :sunny:

[Buddahaid]

Well here are the only two pictures I took from my phone. I left my camera at the hotel. :stare:
