Lone Star Regional Hotel Rooms

[Bob D.]

Hello All,

If you are planning to attend the Lone Star Regional in Frisco Texas October 11-13, do not wait to make your hotel reservations. The Embassy Suites is almost sold out of rooms at the NCRS rate of $115 per night. We have increased the number of rooms twice. Although the cutoff for reservations is 10 September, once the rooms are gone the next cheapest room would be $130 per night. We have negotiated a deal with the Comfort Suites located about 4 miles away. They will hold rooms until15 September, just ask for the NCRS rate.

Thanks for the update, sounds like it will be a big show.

Unfortunately, unless registrations begin pouring in, it will be a smaller-than-usual "show". As a member of the Texas Chapter, I had not planned on attending since my '65 has just earned a National Top Flight at last July's NCRS Convention. I was thinking: "what could I possibly gain by entering it in a regional, now?".

Our Texas Chapter President, Tim Ehler, encouraged me to register my Sting Ray. He told me that as of last Friday, there are only 26 cars for Flight judging. I think I remember that he told me they had twice this number at last year's Texas Regional. So, in order to support my chapter, I registered my car today. I am now thinking that with a Chapter Top Flight and a National Top Flight earned in 2012, it would be nice to have a Regional Top Flight to add to my collection of rosettes! But, I have probably jinxed myself for writing this. A headlamp or a switch is bound to fail the morning of the regional ops judging!

So, anyone out there that is interested in entering a Flight-judged car for the Texas Regional, get on the stick. As Tim Ehler told me, it is about supporting NCRS and our chapter's events.
