Member Contributer Yokel Posted May 23, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted May 23, 2022 Save the dates. Sorry for the short notice, but dammit, I miss ya'll. 23-25 September Details TBD as we're homeless since Debbie and Randall got out of the hotelery business. I've looked in to a few different venues, and am actively searching for somewhere that can accommodate that isn't afraid of a bunch of middle aged sportbike nerds. Please reply to this post if you're interested. I know it's short notice, but a bit of a testing of the waters. I need a rough guestimate to identify an appropriate spot. I'm hoping somewhere between Harrison and Jasper. Suggestions for a location are welcome. I'm also looking at scheduling 2023 as the proper resurrection of this event, and it will be BIG. Cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer jefferson Posted May 24, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted May 24, 2022 This sounds real good to me. Been there many times on the Seca and ZRX, but it has been way too many years and I need to get in the habit of going back down there as it's really hard to beat.

Member Contributer Yokel Posted June 2, 2022 Author Member Contributer Share Posted June 2, 2022 Looking like this year may simply be an inexpensive but "clean" motel. I'm leaning towards the Super 8 in Harrison, AR. Am told many groups use it. Feedback from the peanut gallery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Yokel Posted July 29, 2022 Author Member Contributer Share Posted July 29, 2022 OK, well, since nobody is saying "NO" on the Super 8, I'll call them today and see about a block of rooms at a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Yokel Posted August 4, 2022 Author Member Contributer Share Posted August 4, 2022 Alright all, Looks like the Super 8 in Harrison Arkansas will be ground zero. They are currently at 25% occupancy for these days. I have not been able to get a straight answer on a block of rooms reserved, so it's up to you! I'm finding rates at $77/day pretty common. Suggest you book soon. I'll be arriving a bit early in order to burn up some tires. Cheers and see you in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted August 4, 2022 Member Contributer Share Posted August 4, 2022 Wow, I'm only maybe 2000 miles away, maybe... Please do Push Mountain Road/341 a few extra times for me. And watch out for the speed traps north end of 7. Yeah, norcal resident jonesing for NE AR, what can I say, grass is greener.

The Quality Inn is the other 'affordable' option that moto groups/riders usually use. Nothing special but clean. Holiday Inn and Hampton are the nicer stops in town if that's what ya prefer or if you are a program member. All are within a mile or so of each other so easy to meet up in the mornings. This Yokel dude suggests he is arriving early. I will probably need help keeping him in order so please show up and help if ya can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The govt quotes 900+ people moving into FL, everyday. Housing is 2-3 times the cost it used to be, a couple years ago. Property taxes are through the roof. Congestion is so bad I regularly sit through 3 stoplight cycles, just to get to the next stoplight and do the same. Congestion in retail stores is the same, coupled with the shelves being wiped out (which is another topic). People seem to have the attitude of “I’m not from here. I don’t know you. Fuck you!”. That attitude is in workplaces, in businesses, and on the roadways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
