There are a TON of race shops around the Charlotte area. Anybody interested in touring a bunch of them may want to come a couple days early, or stay around for a day or two after MV to check them out.

[dakslim]

I'm booked! Gonna be a long drive for me though...maybe not.;)

[1stMerc]

All booked. Looking forward to another great time.

[Marauderman]

I'm booked! Gonna be a long drive for me though...maybe not.;)

Great!!!! Glad to see another NC arrival

But, even when you can live here in town and still be 45 min away when even close--say 26-30 miles away from the hotel----but if traffic goods bad --that can be hours---

So living close by really doesn't buy you anything for this event--.thus why we are booked ourselves....

[Gryphonzus]

Reservations made! Looking forward to the get together.

[SC Cheesehead]

HOOHA! Another addition to the roster! :up:

[knine]

Booked!! I even put in for the standby upgrades!! WOOT!!
What are the "standby upgrades"???

[SC Cheesehead]

What are the "standby upgrades"???

I believe the "upgrade" rooms are lake view.

[MM03MOK]

What are the "standby upgrades"???
Log back into your reservation and look for the following. If you check it any of them, you're agreeing to pay for the upgrade. If it's not available, you pay nothing.

[MM03MOK]

Seems we have more people coming in Wed. night than we blocked rooms for. The hotel is adding more rooms to our Wed. block. Thanks for alerting us!!

[Vortex]

Can someone with knowledge of computers and such set up a poll in a separate thread for MMVIII? I would be curious how many are attending ect... I think this has been done every year in the past, with categories like "for sure" and "maybe" and "cant make it". I think it would be very intersting to most of us. Thanks in advance from a computing luddite.

Hey Everyone--Don't put it off anymore--Now is the time to get registered at the Hilton!!!!!!!

We have great rates just for us here for the Marauderville VIII.... unlke other Hiltons, where you will pay a lot more............

It not often you will get these rate for a great Hotel with so many adventures around it...........

So come on down -----don't be wishing , do it, click on the link and get in before they all go away!!!!!!

[Bluerauder]

Hey Everyone--Don't put it off anymore--Now is the time to get registered at the Hilton!!!!!!!

I second that motion. :2thumbs:

But it is NOT JUST the great rates. Location is also important. The Hotel will be "the place to be" during Marauderville VIII. It'll be your opportunity to hang out with the other MM owners before and after the scheduled events. It will be the rally point for departures for the various venues. It will be the site of all of the after hours "activities". It will also be the jumping off point for most (if not all) of the Ad Hoc activities that will take place during the week.

So ...... Get your hotel room booked and be a part of all the action happening during MV8 beginning Wednesday afternoon, 8 September 2010.

[Marauderman]

Those who drive their Marauder to MV VIII will be offered a special gift to take home, but you have to have your car --so come on down--gift to be announced shortly
