Waterside Friday!
Okay Vetterens, after careful consideration the committee has selected Rick Williams' plan for a Waterside Eve get-together at the Portsmouth Holiday Inn as the "official' Friday night social event of the weekend.
If you haven't seen Rick's thread, not only has he set aside rooms at reasonable rates but will also provide garage parking with a security guard for the night, hospitality rooms for those who wish to swap stories, an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner ($8.95), a car wash area for pre-Waterside freshening, and ... you're welcome even if you can't stay the night!
So, if you're gonna be in town Friday, and looking for someplace to go, you owe it to yourselves to stop by, meet some Forum Members and gear up for the Big Event Saturday. An evening cruise is a possibility.
The Holiday Inn is located at #8 Crawford Pkw, downtown Portsmouth, a 5 minute drive to Waterside. Reservations can be made by calling the hotel at 757-393-2573. Reservation code is CRP for the $60 rate.

Sounds like a plan Kathy and I already have rooms booked even though we just live 20 miles from Waterside

Counting down to the weekend, boy do I need this trip!! Just got back Friday from a trip to Ohio to look at some of our equipment in overhaul. Not fun driving a Ford Freestyle instead of the Z06. Got a room in Chesapeake to visit relatives and friends in VA Beach. Not going to like the traffic but will enjoy the "RATPACK" friends.
See everyone Saturday Morning, 12 hours on the road and I'm gonna make it home on Sunday!
