Lightbulb World Ford Challenge (who's going/where are you staying?)

Hey Guys:

Last year, before I became en-Lightninged, I was staying at a hotel during WFC, and there were about 30 Lightnings parked out back. I dan't remember which hotel (something to do with beer, I think)

Now that I have a Lightning, I would like to stay wherever the trucks will be.

Who's all going, and are we getting together at one hotel?

Thanks

Steve

PS please ignore my sig. It won't update on my home computer.
I have a 2002 red Lightning, a white 1995 Civic, and a blue VW Jetta. It just worked out that way.

Hey Steve. I was at that same hotel last year. I've never seen so many Lightnings. There is a group of us going from Midwestfords.org this year. I have a room, and I got one for Weldon and Josh. They're all reserved under another person's name, so I'll have to find out the exact hotel for you.

Nashville guys are staying at the Fairview Ramada.

www.worldfordchallenge.com

I'm a little confused. They have the street lightnings as anyone running a 11.6 or slower and the pro lightnings as anyone running a 12.5 or faster. Is that correct?

It's the biggest Ford drag racing event of the year. It is in St. Louis, MO on the weekend of May 18th. There is a huge vendor display, lots of drag racing, and HUGE car show. There were probably about 50+ Lightings in their class. It is a very good time.

If you get there on Friday, most people go to the Hooters downtown St. Loius.

Last year there was 50 L's there and I would expect that there be at least a 100 this year!
