    I thought we trotted out the Natty Light last time in true Z31 owner fashion. I guess we should probably elevate that this year. LOL

    How long do you guys usually go for? I want to go a few days early since my drive is around like 7 hours. How early do people usually start showing up.

    Last year I headed out here around 3AM Tuesday morning, and pulled into the hotel around 11ish on Tuesday night, it was around ~20 hours for me. I may end up leaving earlier this year. Not sure yet, but still hoping for the same time frame.

    28 hours on the road for me. I want to go, but I haven't decided for sure. I also have to figure out whether I want to put like 6000 km on Zoey or tow her there.

    Is anyone else from Alberta, BC, or the Pacific Northwest planning on making the trip?

    I was seriously considering it, but I don't think it's in the budget for this year. Would cost a shit tonne (not ton) of cash to drive there and back just in gas.

    Yeah no kidding, it might be close to $1000 in fuel. Even more if I tow. Then again, it probably doesn't cost $1.20/litre for 91 octane for MOST of the trip. I was thinking of holding off until next year because Zoey's not really show-ready yet. This is the 10th anniversary, though. We'll see.

    i wanna go but vacation time off work for drifting is already booked and a 27 hr shakedown is probably not a good idea

    Is there only the one hotel in Branson, or what?

    EDIT: The Hilton Promenade looks alright, and it's only $80 per night. I wonder if they have secure parking.

    There is only one people stay at, the host hotel, because that's where all the fun is had.

    The hotel is not full. There are plenty of rooms available. Simply call (417) 334-1000 and reserve your rooms.
