    to put it in perspective I just bing'd seattle to davenport...almost 2,000 miles LOL...ya...probably not. Unless there was a prize for the person traveling the most miles to get to the meet, because that would be me. Maybe something like a cam install by Charlie...I could fit it in then.

    You damn douche canoe! I KNEW NOTHING OF THIS!!! I only live like 6 hours from houston, shit i would make a weekned out of this just to come see that many g8's in one place!

    hell mark me as in. I can easily take the time off, i dont care about the 850 mile drive, road trips rule, besides i got family in Iowa i could go fuck up their house.

    Not sure if this helps, but a brewery I have done work for in the past, recently moved to the Quad Cities area. Not sure if there is much of a bar at their new location, but they do distribute kegs of beer around Eastern Iowa. I believe the new name is Great River Brewing. They used to be Old Capitol Brew Works in Iowa City.

    I will update you guys as I get info back from Cordova Dragway. Once I get the date, then I will get a host hotel set up. I may need the help of a "local" to find the best hotel (cost/space/location/etc). I also wonder if a "local" could find out if there are nearby campgrounds for those wanting to save expense by camping. I remember at the last Grand Prix Gathering in the Quad Cities, we had a hotel that gave us the entire back of their parking lot for Grand Prix parking only, and we did our show at the hotel. It was less than 1/2 hour drive to the track from there too.

    I would love to set this up later in the year when temps drop more, but alot of G8 owners have families and can't travel once school starts. Plus, weather gets a bit more unpredictable once it starts that warm/cool cycling in later summer/early fall in this part of the country. I am shooting for racing to be Friday afternoon/evening so that we will get to run into the cool evening even if the daytime temps are higher.

    Once I have a specific date and some details, I am going to post this on every G8 board I can find. I want this to include as many people as possible. I think we can all agree to put aside our differences for one weekend to hang out and have fun with our G8s!

    You want approximate rates - I got rates.
    These are for check in Thursday August 19th
    and check out Sunday August 22nd.

    I know we don't have definitely dates or head count
    but this should give everyone a rough idea.
    I'm sure we can do some better if we can fill up the place.
    Maybe even need two hotels. I like to think BIG!
    It would be great to get a couple hundred G8's there.

    RAMADA – Bettendorf - $68/n – 1 king
    Baymont Inn – Davenport - $48/n – 1 king on 2 doubles
    Days Inn – Davenport - $61/n – 1 king or 2 queens
    Clarion – Davenport - $89/n – 1 king
    Quality Inn & Suites – Moline - $55/n
    Comfort Inn & Suites – East Moline - $76/n – 1 king

    All prices plus tax.

    i was just trying to request a quote for a large group of people, hoping we would get a good discount...i am hoping for a huge turn-out also
    i was just getting a little bit of an idea with the 10 rooms
    i'm sure if we get more people, the better our rates will be
