There is a pool, hot tub restaurant, and many attractions close to the Hotel.
(Lot's to do & with-in walking Distance to downtown)
Rooms with the "Riverside View" are the best.

Gatlinburg is about 50 miles Southeast of Knoxville. (Airport code TYS for those who would like to fly-in) I'm also finding some low prices by flying into Atlanta but that means a 200+ mile drive to Gatlinburg

Talked with Seymour last night and discussed a few things that will be presented at the Slant 6 meeting.
I would liked to suggest that anyone that has something they would like for the group to consider please write up a description and bring a few photo copies to pass around.

Lots to be discussed this year some come with you thinking caps on.

I will not be able to make the banquet, need to save my money for the racing. But I do have some suggestions.
All the ssrn records are for the 1/4 mile, however we do race some 1/8 mile tracks. would it be possible to have 1/8 mile records also? That way someone who might only be able to make one race, say Wilksboro, could still try for a record. Also don't forget Clay City, in 2000 had to shorten the races to 1/8 mile due to the damage to the guardrail.
Maybe add some other classes, for the heavier cars and/or smaller engines.
I would also like to see a race in south Ga. or Florida. Like maybe in the spring or late fall, when it gets cold up north. There are some slanters in Florida that would come to a race if it was closer, but don't want to travel 8 hrs or more.
Have fun in Gatlinburg.

The 1/8 mile records are a good idea. I had mentioned this to Doug and Seymour a while back. Anyone else like this idea?

Also if you are not going to be able to be in TN post your thoughts here and I will put them all together and pass them out to everyone there.

Last I talked with Bob, he was planning to be there.
The trouble with Bob is he will not set foot on an airplane, he will drive out!
