Power Tour with Prodigy Roll Call

[ProdigyCustoms]

Please reserve posting in this thread to roll call and direct questions in reference to our group.

OK guy's. we are still finishing the final couple contracts for room blocks, and hope to be finished Tuesday or so. I have a bunch of inquiries, what I need now is a firm roll call and contact e mails.

We are blocking the rooms under Prodigy Customs. Prodigy Customs is not paying for anything up front (unless we do not fill the rooms, then it gets ugly). And none of us are profiting from any of this, it is simply to organize a group. Prodigy is not marking the rooms up, or even getting comps. I just need to get that out of the way.

Right now Lisa is blocking 15 rooms, and we should have about 7 of my group going, so I want to see how many from the board will join in. In other words, it looks like we have maybe 8 spots. Also, depending on interest, we may have extra rooms in all or most cities depending on how quick we book these first 15.

Firm decisions will have to be in at the end of this week, March 12

Room cost average is $125 or so, with the most expensive night being the first stop in Gainesville, which happens to be where the Power Tour staff will be staying. All the hotels are upper level, Hilton, Fairfield, Marriott. I will not be posting our route in public, and will ask that no one else does either. I want to prevent profiling and piggy backing.

As part of our agreement with the hotels, We requesting parking together at each stop basically asking the hotels to block a corner or area with crime scene tape so we can have the cars all together and easy for a guard to watch. It sounds like the cars in many cases may be on the other side of the hotel from some's rooms, and farther away from ones normal comfort zone, but they will be safer.

Security in each cities will be by off duty cops, Pinkerton, or hotel security, but will be specifically for our cars.. Security cost $300 to $400 per night to have the cars watched from 10PM to 6AM

I have had a few ask if their cars are good enough to ride with us, we do not have any selection criteria, only ask that it mean enough to the owner to want to protect it, and ride with us.

As for security and parking at various dinner locations, I thought if there was a situation where there is not a restaurant in walking distance, we could consider calling taxi vans, just a thought. If anyone would like the challenge of arranging restaurant parking, we are accepting volunteers. you would be amazed how much it takes just to handle the rooms and security.



We will have a couple trailers in tow, tools, tires, and maybe some common parts some unfortunate may need. We will be watching our group, exchanging contact info and "trying" to stay together.

I do not see us necessarily doing this 15 car parade all clued together, however I do kinda plan to be aware of one another's stops and detours, just to help assure all are getting along OK.

Post any questions and sign in.

Thanks,

Frank, Lisa and Michael

Frank, You mentioned the first stop being Gainesville. Will the block of rooms include a room at the first night in Kissimmee as well?

Frank, you have PM.

[Bill Howell]

Can I go?

[ProdigyCustoms]

I can set up rooms at Kissemee no problem. I do not think there will be maybe half the guys needing Kissemee rooms as half will leave from here.

[ProdigyCustoms]

Chris, got ya, lets do it in the forum so we know who is going. Bill, if you agree to take the pictures you can go, LOL!

[130fe]

I have already made hotel reservations, but I am interested in meeting up with you guys. I also need enclosed transport from Englishtown back to Florida and would like to get in on a group deal with that.

Thanks. -Neil

[Steve1968LS2]

I wish.. I don't think the PT could be any farther from where I live.. :(

[dhardison]

Frank, Count me in! We plan on arriving in Kissimmee on 6/2, so we'll need a room (preferably in a safe location) for both 6/2 & 6/3 as well as the remaining stops. Will the Kissimmee room be a problem?

Please PM or email me (dan_hardison AT yahoo.com) with the details.

Thanks!
Dan

Oooh! Oooh! Pick me, pick me! I'm in. I'll send another pm with details and contact info.

Looks like a good crew so far. Gonna be some killer rides all in one group. We are finishing with the last couple hotels. You would not believe how damn difficult it can be to arrange something as simple as parking, and allowing security, amougnst negotiang rates and making sure we are at a good place. But Lisa is doing a fantastic job. As soon as we have all the hotels under contract, we will get you the reservation information.

If anyone wants a ride, not bringing their car, and will need a room, this will be a good place to let others know. I know we will have some extra seats in one of a few cars.

[Bill Howell]

Hey Lisa,




























Thanks for all the hard work making this happen.

[Roger Poirier]

Chris, got ya, lets do it in the forum so we know who is going. Bill, if you agree to take the pictures you can go, LOL!

No secret here Roger, I am a self proclaimed computer idiot. Thank God I have her. She spent a lot of time in Detroit getting the pictures downloaded and zipped up (whatever that is) to get them to Larry. Without her, we would still not have the pictures here.....lol
