Happy new year everyone....:cheers

Any recommendations on hotels?

Mark McGowan will be joining us.

Gentlemen,

I just received a note from Mark McGowan informing me that he will be joining us at our Barrett-Jackson dinner and that he will be bringing a surprise from the Ford Motor Company with him. For those who do not know him, Mark McGowan was on the original Ford GT build team and was one of the drivers who first took the Ford GT over 200 miles an hour in Nardo, Italy. Join us on Thursday, January 21 for an outstanding evening of great food, strong cocktails, good friends, and memorable conversation.

The Fairmont is a great hotel and very close to B-J. I don't know who is staying there.

I have been looking at this thread and thinking, I'd love to come. If I can use frequent flyer miles, change my work schedule(etc). I'd love to come. I was wondering how far from Phoenix is BJ, hotels, and dinner location?

 

[GTLes]

Can you count me in for dinner as well for 2.

 

[GTLes]

Sorry please make that a total of 4 for dinner.

Triheart,

B-J is a 30 minute cab ride from the Phoenix airport. Scottsdale borders the east edge of Phoenix and has hundreds of hotels. I like the Marriot Old Town Inn Suites in old town Scottsdale but it's about 6 miles south of B-J.

Thanks Frank, I certainly did. Corrected now.
