I think the Marriott rates were only good up until a certain point.  The pertinent info is in the main thread.

What's the hotel situation looking like? I checked scca.com and got links to the Sleep Inn and to the Marriott. The former looks like it's booked up for the weekend (understandable). The Marriott site is telling me that the SCCA discount code isn't valid for that date range (check in 5/2, check out 5/4). Is that because the block of rooms is full, or should I pick up the phone and call?

I made my reservation a few weeks ago at the Sleep Inn, but I had to call in.  Online was a bust for both....

HTH,

For those who are still looking for a room for the Ft Worth Tour:

Texas Region has convinced Marriott to reserve 10 more rooms at the special SCCA National Tour rate of $89.

Link to Hotel:

To make sure you get the special rate, your best route is to call the reservation number!

Act fast if you want a room there because the road racer bunch are also having an event at the Speedway the same weekend.

Well damn, I was traveling and didn't see Brad's note about the rooms. I called tonight and they're all gone. Regular rooms are still available, but much more expensive. Sleep Inn is booked up. Anybody have a room at either that they're considering giving up?

Give me a day here.  We might be able to get another block of rooms opened up with the special rate!

Hey Chris!  I hope you can make it out!  Would love to have another RX-8 in the region.  We have a very close class as it sits with 4 cars all vieing for contention.

I don't think Thomas Hiramoto has a co-driver.  You can find him on the local miata forum. http://forums.dfwmiata.com/ "Miatamoto" is his name.

His car is fully prepped.  And he was only about .3 seconds behind me at the last local event.  Defintely a good driver and a cool guy to boot.

I desperately want to attend but am running out of options on how to get tires there as my codriver backed out on me. Anyone have a spare set of elise/exige wheels with a set of A6s sitting around in Dallas that I could rent for the weekend?

Brian, post that on the Lotus Forum.  Most of the Elise drivers are lurking or posting there.  Another thing you might do is overnight two of the wheels to Scott or David, and put the other two in your front seat.  Too bad I didn't get you those surfboard racks yet.   You could drive there like this:

If you want to see partying, stop by the Texas Spokes Biergarten.  Legendary stuff there.  Might even have some classic car movies playing.

A possible solution is in the works for my tire situation so hopefully there will be at least one more entry in SS.

Thanks for the advice Jer.
