Actually, the low return rate for the Stowe event may have a lot more to do with $350 / night rates than any other reason. A number of us locally have asked for day rates and Chris has chosen not to reply. There are quite a few Cobras within an hour or so of Stowe but no one is going to go if he won't respond. Tim

I just talked with Chris again after reading your post. Chris is very accommodating. He quoted me a rate for single room w/o breakfast would be $99 (about $40 off the current rate). He is going to go by the al-a-carte route regarding the activities at the Inne. When I read part of your post to him, he said that is incorrect. He tries to accommodate everyone.

Anyone can just show up locally and go on the "runs" - NO CHARGE

He is going to wing it for the weekend. He said anything that we as a group want to do, no problem.

He wants to sit down with a bunch of us and discuss what anyone would like for next years show.

I know how difficult it is to set up and organize a weekend of events, especially if its the "first annual" event. I was the car show chairman of my club's car show for the first 22 years. A thankless job. But he has been very successful with other events at the Inne.

I just hope that all you local guys (and gals) do not show up due to any mis-communications or misunderstandings.

Chris told me that anyone can call him (802-253-5320) and discuss anything regarding the event. This way he can also get a better handle on how many will be there.

Sounds like it will be a great time to me.
