2008 LX & Beyond Nationals/Columbus, OH M&G

[04hemipwr]

i am staying at the wingate or the main hotel whatever it is called

[Pappa John]

I'm staying at the Wingate, I'll be coming in on Friday afternoon and going to dinner at the Steak and Lube around 6:00. If any of you come in on Friday stop in the the Steak and Lube and say hello, I don't plan on going to my room until I have to...

[Simans82]

Looks like I'll be heading down Friday also. Should be a great time!

[part deux]

We're heading down Friday, probably noonish

[dodgeboy]

I keep forgetting to make reservations at the Wingate. Looks like that's where most of you are staying, no?

Dave

Wingate's full, believe the hilton is nearly full

[Simans82]

You're definitely going to want to try and book your room ASAP. I do believe the Hilton is full, but you may want to call to double check.

[turbobuckeye]

Maybe some people have the misconception that only the "racing" parties need to register. EVERYONE MUST REGISTER! Do it before the 30th to have a chance at some INCREDIBLE DOOR PRIZES.


So everyone, register, BEFORE 4-30-08! DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x 2 Thanks for sending out the reminder!!!

[turbobuckeye]

When booking rooms for either of the hotels you need to mention the group code first. Otherwise, they will tell you that there is nothing available. If you tell them, "I'm with the car group" or "the LX event" its not gonna do it. Because the rate is much lower than anything they offer on their websites they will not voluntarily offer you the dsicount code.

Saturday we went to BOTH hotels and after going thru the reservations for the days surrounding the event we found a lot of reservations that "LX" or "carshow" was mentioned and put in the notes but the code was not given at booking. There were a lot of rooms that did not get the lower group rate also because of that. I can't stress how important it is to give the code when booking. You may be very surprised at your room rate at check-out time if you don't.

I need everyone to do the following to avoid further confusion.

Please make sure you called and reserved at the correct hotels!!! Call them directly RIGHT NOW. Its a 24/7 desk so no need to wait until Monday.

Call them and verify your reservation/spelling of your name/room type/dates

I would recommend calling the hotel directly vs. the 800# or online because the actual hotel knows the group better than the national number.

Anybody that does not need a double room, please leave for the folks that do. I saw a lot of rooms booked as doubles for folks I know are traveling alone. They are all the same price and you actually have more room in the King vs. the Double Beds. Also, many of the King rooms have a sofa with a bed in it too.

There are many room variations at BOTH locations, ask them what is available for each night of stay for the number of people you are bringing.

There are still some King rooms available at the Wingate and there are TONS of King and Double rooms available at the Hilton. Again, give them the group code or you will have a difficult time reserving anything. As we get closer and closer to June your options will get more difficult. Don't wait until the last minute!!!

Any issues please PM either CHERRY or myself and we will check into it.

I'm sorry for the duplicate thread about this event. I got a PM from the Sales and Marketing manager for the track stating that they had mis-printed the URL on the track schedule as www.clublxom.com instead of www.lxforums.com. They've posted their official information on that site, as it is a national event. I offered to put a sticky post in the forum to help people find that site... The other thread is not intended to detract from this one.

Dave,
Not your fault at all, not sure how the track got your website url but we brought the error to their attention about a month ago. Chuck (CHERRY) and I will be going to the track to discuss with them this weekend.

Thanks again for your help!

What do you all think about having all the GO-FAST vendors show up with their BEST LX and each running them for everyone to see and enjoy?

Dyno early in the day, 1-2 runs down the strip, attach the BEST timeslip on the windshield for all event participants, customers and potential customers to see . . . .

We are trying to make exactly that scenario happen at the LX & Beyond Nationals this year.
