Event Coverage Gathering at the ROC 2023 ROLL CALL.

My theory is that hotels often overbook expecting cancellations, but they didn’t realize how big of a deal this show was and that nobody would be cancelling. You’d think after 3 years of it they would know better. My room is still there. But given this issue, and how much of a pain in the ass they made it for everyone to book in the first place, I think I’ll be staying elsewhere in the future.

 

If it boils down to it, there will still be dozens of rooms somewhere within a reasonable (30 minutes?) drive from the show. There are motels scattered all over the place.

 

==There are several motels in Owaso. 30 miles south on highway 169222

 

yes...I prepaid mine at the Extended Stay in Bartlesville and had stayed there the first year....I've stayed at the host hotel and it isn't that big of a deal to me....I like to drive the car anyway...if the truth be known, the event blocks out all the rooms at the Hilton prior to announcing the dates and they are sold out before the date is announced to those in the 'know'
Good luck everybody....

 

I've been wanting to go, but with all the hotel BS I have been reading about here and instagram I will be putting this on my no go list

 

Meh I could hitch hike there and sleep on a park bench and it would still be worth it.

wonder if they have camping on site or not. Guess the Buffalo might wake you up lol

 

Fuck that. All this hotel BS is totally wrong. We had thought about driving down to see friends but...........................

 

Yeah I wonder what the deal is. It’s not just the host hotel it’s a bunch of them and a bunch of the houses that were rented. I would assume when the casino opens it will be the new head quarters and the show will leave barrtlesville proper

 

Ive driven my 40 Ford out there from Maryland 3 times now, so I submitted my old farm truck this year and was lucky enough to be accepted into the show. This will be the farthest I’ve driven it yet. Looking forward to it.

 

Jeesh guys, I got cancelled, then booked another room across town. I'll be there all 4 days. It's 100% worth coming, even to just hang out.

 

Blacklisting a whole show because of a single hotel in a town with multiple lodging options. Wow.

I'd suspect the promoters won't utilize the Hilton Garden Inn as the host venue in future years.

 

I hold my Customer service to a high standard. Overbookings and cancellations are amateur at best.

 

Heard Trent isn’t coming and got so excited I started polishing the paint this morning kidding…. Sorta

 

Rub it too much and it will get hard................

And don't forget who helped you with that Shoebox title

 

Our car isnt registered in the show, but I hope to make it if up anyways if I can dance around some family obligations..
I just looked for rooms on air bnb last night & found a few. My buddy said his hotel still had rooms.
Worst case, Ive got a cooler, tent, air matress and a .45 I'll just camp it. Anyone else camping ? We used to have a blast camping the whole weekend at Day of the Drags !

 

@Lone Star Mopar yeah I think some
Guys are camping

@Tman if I really disliked you all that much I wouldn’t be talking shit lol

 

Me and my dad will be there in these two

 

The mountain man encampment is going on that weekend also at Woolaroc . Maybe someone will have sleeping space in their teepee

 

Love it!!!

 

If you find a space sleep in one of the teepee’s make sure you do it on your back!

 

Hope it works out! We can catch up and talk Mopar. I just sold the A..

 

You still going to build the RPU?

 

Heading out on Thursday. Great show! Rooms got canceled but managed a room at the Fairfield.

 

Yes sir!

 

That's where a my bunch (about 6 cars )are staying

 

It's OK, you can bask in my presence some other time. I am on call this weekend anyway

 

Headed out sometime Thursday morning give a wave when you pass me being I only cruise about 65-68

 

Hah that is interesting I made res at Fairfield few months back and called last week to confirm and told me I did not have one and didn't have any rooms. Ended up at Jarrett farms 18 miles away

 

I booked the Fairfield last fall when the show started taking entries and they e-mailed me a confirmation. I reconfirmed the room last week with another e-mailed confirmation. Be interesting when we get there to see if we have a room or will be picking up my T shirt and coming back to Nebraska? My wife won't sleep in the truck.

 

I plan to roll into town Thursday afternoon. We got rooms at the Hotel Phillips in Bartlesville. Looking forward to this, as it is our first time at the ROC.

I'm bringing the 32 7-window...


See you all there.
