It's May 4th, time to begin the planning for the convoy to
Chevelle-a-bration in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. I'm sending this
email to the participants in the '08 convoy and some other folks to
get a head count.
Last year the travelling folks stayed at the Holiday Inn Express
Hotel & Suites at 4306 McCain Blvd in North Little Rock. Here's the
website-

This is a nice place with easy access to I-40 without any morning
rush hour traffic hassles. I can look for other places to stay if
you need me to.
The plan for now is to rendezvous with everyone at the Lonoke exit
around 9:30 AM and leave there at 10:00. If we keep our speed to
60~65 mph that will put us in Memphis around noon. We'll get some
lunch (is the Cajun Catfish Restaurant still OK??) and meet up with
the Memphis group and head on to Nashville.
Les Saville has graciously offered to feed us barbeque again at his
house on Tuesday night, June 2nd. Les's home is only a couple of
miles from the Holiday Inn, and he lives on a lightly travelled
street, so there won't be a problem driving your cars to his place
and parking there. He will need to know how many folks are coming by
Friday, May 22nd so he can get the food. Any of you semi-local guys
(Morrillton, Russellville, Conway, etc.) need to come over & eat with
us even if you're not staying in NLR that night. Water and soft
drinks will be available, you're on your own for beer and other alcohol.
Please email or call me with any suggestions, my cell # is
501-425-8136 (leave a message, I don't have it on very often) shop #
is 501-868-5870, 9:30~5:30 Monday through Friday. I'll be posting
this on Team Chevelle in the I-40 thread in the Cruise-In Forum also.
Looking forward to a great time!!
