I split the Rules Discussion into its own thread over in Racing Q&A so that this thread can remain uncluttered with Banquet specific information and the all important "Roll Call".

Greg I noticed you are booked. That reminded me, Gary Bruner asked me to post the motel might not be able to book rooms until mid December because their computer would not be updated for 2013 til then. So maybe they have figured it out. See you there.

I will be coming this year, too. I have been very busy lately but I am looking to recharge my racing batteries at the banquet!

Also, for anyone who is traveling to the banquet from I-40W, route 441 in TN has had a very large landslide which has closed a section of road for an indefinite amount of time. I only mention it, because I know some people have used that route before getting to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Better take a different route.

Brian, can you give more detail, about the location of the road closing? I might be coming that way, from Jonesville, NC.

Thanks for the Update - Is that Hwy closure from I 40 hinder getting off at
I-40 exit 407 (the one with the Baseball stadium near the exit) and taking the Winfield Dunn Parkway / tn66 south into Sevierville / Pigeon Forge?
