Obviously each portion is optional. NO PART is required. Feel free to invite friends with different makes to attend the races with us!

Hotels need to be booked AT LEAST 1 week before the meet. Feel free to PM or call me if you need anything. My phone number is 515-202-4737.

Please post in this thread once you have booked your hotel and confirmed your attendance. Also, please post how many people you will have with you, where you are staying, and which events you will participate in. I will set up the golf later on if we have enough interest.

Even if you dont drink or like bars, you will still have a blast. A lot of people didnt drink last year and they still had a lot of fun! This is the second large meet I have planned, you wont be disapointed!

Thanks,
Nick

I may not be able to make it Friday night after all. I might be scheduled to work that night, plus the campground won't let me come in after 9PM, so its almost worthless to get out there that night. If that's the case, I will leave early Saturday morning and try to be there before the cruise. Don't think I would be able to get out there in time for breakfast.

Yeah Jesda, what the heck! If you're not there, who else is gonna over drink and vomit everywhere, clog up the toilet and sink, and then leave the cleaning ladies a $20 tip?
 
#34 ·
You all know I WILL over drink!! You just cant tell when Im drunk and I dont puke. :crybaby:
 
#36 ·
I am sure there are! :devil:

So we will be celebrating my 21st birthday during the meet. Do not worry, I thought in advance and have already renewed my licence to prevent any issues when acquiring liquor. :lildevil:
 
#41 ·
Alright, so I need a room for three. Nick, can that be arranged at the Casino?
 
#42 ·
Yup! Just go to the website and book on there or give them a call. :highfive::thumbsup:

If you maintain an average of 80MPH it is only 6 hours...... I got 10 dollars to throw down on your turnpike fees! :crybaby:
 
#45 ·
I'll cover the other $4. I just want a big turnout for all the work Nick puts in. Last year's meet was fun, but this year could be really big if we got 30-40 to show.

6hrs. with a broken collar bone could be tough though. Doesn't sound like fun, how'd you do it?
 
#46 ·
Oh cmon you hoe! I drove 12 hours in one day with a broken leg to pick up my CTS! I guess not everyone is as badass as me though. AHAHAH!! :crybaby:

I like this, actually get paid to go to the meet.
where do I complain?:)
lol, if i keep offering to help pay everyone's way to Davenport I won't have any money left to play blackjack, i'm sure nick will float me a loan @ 30% interest. He'll have to come visit me at cheese days in monroe in sept. to collect his money.

I'll gladly spend six and a half hours in the back seat of a '94 Brougham to come and hang out with you guys for the weekend. Oh, the misery I must put up with. ;) I'm going to call the casino tomorrow and get a room booked for Tanner, Brian and I. :)

#53 ·

Tanner, Brian and I will be staying at the Bettendorf Isle of Capri Casino, in the Palm Tower. We should arrive there between 4 and 5 on Friday afternoon for the 5 o' clock check in.

Come on bitches, get yer a$$e$ to Davenport. It's spring, time for a road trip, nothing better than spendin the weekend with some fellow cadillac junkies.
 
#56 ·
I'll definitely be there Saturday. Sorry, but I can't afford a hotel nor can I afford to drive halfway home to my grandparents just for Friday night. I don't know if I'll be dragging because my car has been in the tranny shop for 2 and a half weeks now 'cause I lost 3rd and overdrive again and I need to give it time to break in. Thank god its under warranty. My friend with the '87 IROC has the weekend off too with a 50/50 chance he will tag along.
