Car Craft Nats...where to stay?
 

I am planning to go and was wondering if anyone else here was going. I need a hotel close to the fairgrounds and preferably with a well lit lot. Some of you guys had security at the Year One thing and that would be a great idea up norf. The plan is to leave the rug-rat at home with grandma, so the wife and I can party at night. ( My wife is HOT, if it helps!!):cheers:

When is it? Where is it at? What type of cars? :rolleyes: I know nothing and their web site says a big fat zero.

All the hotels close by are probably booked by now. I'll see what I can find for you for suggestions, I've stayed at several different ones over the years.

Scott,

If I can't make Columbus in time is this show worth the trip? :_paranoid Your thoughts....

I think it's gonna be worth it. 4000+ cars and 30k people. Dale Schwartz may go up with me. Don't think Jeff is gonna make it. And yes, a hotel close would be awesome.

I think it's a great time. Last year, Car Craft had over 5,000 cars. I just wish more vendors were on hand.

I spent all day yesterday at the MN State Fairgrounds at the MSRA Back to the 50's event. There were TONS of vendors there, but there was over 12,400 cars that were '64 and older at the show, too. I heard they were going to cap the amount of cars that could register next year as the Fairgrounds was extremely packed.

I'm about 15 miles west of the fairgrounds. If anyone coming from out of town needs a safe & secure enclosed parking spot while they're here for the show, I'll have one, possibly two spaces available in my garage. I also have a lift, air compressor, TIG welder, tools, etc if anyone needs to do emergency repairs. :thumbsup:

We're staying at the Holiday Inn express in downtown St.Paul. I hope it had underground or covered parking. It's been a rough year for cars getting stolen at shows. I might bring a hammer drill and some anchors and chain. I'll bolt the damn thing to the ground!!!! Hold a spot for me, I have to find out what the parking is like.

We're Staying At The Hampton Inn On Shoreview 7 Miles North Of The Grounds
