Coming to the BZF but have not registered yet? READ THIS!
It is a very basic business principal: If you have to choose between a customer that promises to buy your product and one standing in front of you with cash in hand, you take the cash and not the promise. This is especially true if you run a hotel in a resort town. Being in the position of having to turn down guaranteed business because you have unreserved rooms held for another group is always a bad idea.
Needless to say that is exactually the situation that we face each year. The trick is to block off enough rooms to make sure everyone in our group gets one, while at the same time not preventing the hotel from renting rooms that we will not use. It sounds simple enough, but if things don't go right it leaves people without a room at the hotel. (Something we all want to avoid.)
Whats the bottom line to all of this?
Simple: We have been asked to release some of our room nights back into the general pool for a couple of the week nights. If you are going to make a reservation with the hotel PLEASE MAKE IT SOON so that we can assure that you they will have a room for you. As it stands right now, the hotel will be completely booked up for most of the week for anyone that is not part of our group. Once the hotel starts grabbing some what seems to be some of "excess" week nights, you may be locked out.

I didn't do the shirt. That was layed out by Fine-Tooned. He does a great job on the shirts every year, it is handled by Pickle.
Just have to see who's interested in running friday, I'll probably be busy with things. If there is time and you want I'll get you a map of the shorter run which is still a great run.
Brad said you were working on your car.

Yeah, notice the speed was chopped in by a friend of mine out in New Mexico.
I was going to get the oil changed and put some TT rears on the vert yesterday, but they didn't bring it back from the shop till after 5pm. Had them re-buff the rear cover, I didn't like how it looked.
Tim and I went to Springfield tuesday, hauled another 88 2+2 up there for parts.
You guys are gonna freak when you see Tim's 350. I think it's around 498hp to the ground before boost.

Booger, I'm not real sure. I do know they are asking us to release some of the rooms back. You should give Mary a call at the hotel and ask her (800) 245-3308.
The last couple of years we have had several walk ins that have gotten rooms late, but there are a couple other groups that are always there and can take up all the extra rooms. I wouldn't wait and take the chance.

+1 to what tnkrstoy said. There is always something going on at Branson regardless of the time of year. Last year there was a motorcycle rally the same weekend and dozens of bikers at our hotel. That's on top of the numerous tour busses of Blue Hairs that come through.
If I remember, I was told you could cancel your reservation up to 4 p.m. the day of your reservation. My advice is to, after verifying the cancellation policy, make your reservations. You don't want to be stuck at another hotel. The party will be at our place.
Remember, registering at the hotel is NOT the same as registering for Branson Z Fest. Register for Branson Z Fest at www.bransonzfest.com. If you are staying at another hotel, whatever, you still need to register for the event.
Z ya there. BTW, I hear there will be a huge turnout from Nebraska.

Thank you Lt.Dan. Been out running around, got the vert's oil changed, put the TT rears on. Didn't like what I saw under there. It'll be suspension time after Branson. I'll start collecting parts again.

I was serious.
I have a pretty bad leak as well, comes on hard after 15+ PSI. I hope to sort it out either before or will ask a club member to bring their leak detector to Brason so that I can troubleshoot.
