NEWS FLASH .... We have just learned that in Dec. 2008 the Executive Inn in Louisville will be demolished to make way for a new hotel.  The Executive West will be operating under a new “brand” Crown Plaza and will be remodeled. While all is fine for 2008, this will leave us with a big shortage of rooms for 2009 and maybe 2010 so we all need to plan ahead. 

We have also learned that for 2008, the La Quinta on Preston Hwy does have a few rooms available. This is a very nice hotel and it is owned and operated by “car guys” ... they even have a cookout one night of the show for the guests.... You can get infor at www.airportandexposuites.com or call them at 866- 477-0007.


WE want to remind you that Hotrodhotline.com has a CATALOG ORDER page where you can order catalogs directly from many businesses It’s a great way to get the catalogs you need from many many vendors.
