Crescent Classic 2007

Deanna and I will be there

 

I'll be in attendance and I'm bringing an associate. I'm working out final details for what I hope to announce prior to CC07. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

 

I'll be there Steve--so will you old car! Going solo as of now...

 

Steve and I will be there from Little Rock in the red 575... What I really need to know, Chris, is whether the thong will be there again?

Thanks... Alison

 

One can only hope

 

uh, well yes!

 

My wife and I are driving up Friday for Saturday's day events. I look forward to it!

Gene

 

Yes, I will be there! Unfortunately, I won't be in something from the stable at work... but I should be able to hang with everyone in the corners just fine!

 

Kansas City area participants will be Meeting at the Sheraton Hotel on College Blvd in Overland Park on Thursday September 13th at 8:00AM to caravan to Crescent Classic.

We will be leaving promptly at 8:30AM for or trip south to Eureka Springs and Crescent Classic.

This year we will be taking highway 71 south due to the large number of cars attending this years event.

Crescent Classic registration will open at 3:00PM on Thursday September 13th in the lobby of the Crescent Hotel.

This is an incredible event this year with 54 cars attending. The parking lot of the hotel will have Eureka Springs police officers overseeing parking and security at the Crescent Hotel.

There is NO trailer parking or trailer access to the Hotel so do not even try to get to the Crescent, we have off-site trailer parking at a secure facility so PM me for trailer parking information.

See everyone very soon!

I believe its been close to a year since I've posted here, (last time was following last years event). I thought I would drop in, read up on the "fanfare", and maybe drop a few words from Eureka on the boards.

First off, all of us here in Eureka Springs are looking forward to one of our favorite weekends. Personally Crescent Classic and Fat Tire Fest are top of my list of all are anual events. Of course being an avid cyclist lends bias to me and the Fat Tire.

The weather forecast looks good at this point. We have had a few days of much needed rain, but as of now the early weekend weather predictions look like 70s - 80s and sunny skies.

As Chris mentioned, we will have a police officer present at the Crescent Hotel. I am actaully taking vacation for this weekend, as to better assist the Classic. Whereas if I was on duty, I'd be subject to taking calls etc...

On a side note, Becky and I will be heading to Deals Gap and Gatlinburg on Monday after the Classic. I plan on carving up the corners on "The Dragon" and the other roads surrounding the area. So I need to break in my new GSX-R this weekend hehe.

Also, for anyone interested, I ride almost all of the roads in the area on a reqular basis, (certain ones I ride daily). So if anyone is wanting a road condition report, just let me know.

Again, we're looking forward to a great weekend.

Just talked to Chris and the address for the off site trailer parking is:
Victoria Inn and Convention Center
4028 East Van Buren
Eureka Springs, AR 72632

When I typed in the physical address into Mapquest or Yahoo map, it puts the star in the wrong place. No clue why, but do not go off the graphic depiction on those sites. Your GPS will probably show it in the right place. I have attached a jpg that shows the location, however I'm not sure of the file attachment on these boards.

General directions to the Victoria Inn are:
If entering Eureka Springs on U.S. 62 from the west - follow 62 east bound through Eureka Springs. On the east side of town, near the intersection of 62 and Passion Play Road, the Hotel is on the right hand side. If you go past Passion Play road or if you see a cemetary, you've gone too far.
If entering on U.S. 62 from the east - once you enter the city limits, the Victoria Inn is on the left, less than one mile inside the city. Just past Passion Play road.

Hope this helps. Sorry if my directions are sloppy, I'm so used to directing tourist to the Crescent from downtown, hah.

Yes, I've been following the action. I'm only actually planning on doing "The Dragon" one day to say I've done it, get the T-shirt, and go on. I've been talking with a friend in the area who is pointing me to roads that are not getting the attention from the police.

 

Hey Rob. I've ridden the north part of 23 recently, and it is fine. I talked to two friends who rode down past Hwy 16 on Sunday afternoon and there were no concerns. I'd say once you see the first few corners in the southern section, and determine how those sharp corners will be, you should be fine.

 

Rob, normally it is just construction related. The winters are pretty mild so the roads hold up very well. Overall the road conditions are excellent as usual....!

 

There are no major concerns. Being on two wheels though makes me very touchy around any gravel at all. Therefore, post rain rides cause me to really watch out for any gravel washed into the roadway. That is my only concern. Gravel = certain crash, for a sportbike in a lean.
