Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

I'm waiting till closer to time. no bonuses to registering early, since we don't even get shirts for the $60 extortion anymore. If its gonna be the 3rd year in a row of constant drizzle & rain, I likely won't be coming. the springtime popup storms are one thing.....but its been solid rains the last 2 years. When you can't drive at BZF, it kinda takes the thrill out of it. I don't party like I used to, so that element isn't as important anymore. I do like seeing everyone though...the BZF warhorses are like family.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

I just reserved the room which I can cancel if needed. Haven't registered yet but you do get a shirt this year if you register before the end of March. You would know that if you'd get on facebook. Don't figure that's going to happen.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

Speaking of Facebook, I looked recently and there are 4 (count them) 4 Branson Z Fest Facebook groups. How are you to know which one to dial up?
This has been an issue in the past. The website stopped being a good source of info and, instead, important info is being shared via FB only.
BYW, this isn't just a BZF issue. Many, many club, etc. websites, have been kicked to the curb in favor of Facebook.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

Here you go http://www.bransonzfest.com/

Be sure to get your room reserved at the Honeysuckle Inn. I talked to them this week and they are filling up fast. This looks like it could be a great change for Z Fest!

Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

I'm not going to be going this year I'm afraid. My new house is due to be 'built-complete' around that time and as such May and June are completely blocked out for that reason.

Actually, I was gonna hold off until Friday to head down there, but I would actually like to stop by for a tour . . . as long as there are no time shares involved.

Really though, a fellow Missouri resident that has not cross paths?

Would love to stop by if welcome . . .

Of course you're welcome to come by...any time. We've passed hellos at zfest in the past....but always thought you were in the springfield area. Either way, feel free to come by, and bring a Z friend or two. FWIW, I bought 2 TTZ's in the KC/independence area last fall.

It's been a while since I been down there, and met a bunch of great people. Unfortunately, I failed to match a lot of them with their usernames, ugh.

In any case, I appreciate the welcome. Working on plans for Z fest right now. Hopefully the weather is on our side.

:EDIT: I just now realized your username is different now, haha.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

I saw on the Branson Z Fest Facebook page that Pickard got called out again about trophies promised from the car show in 2014 that were never delivered. Yes, I said 2014. And he pretty much made the same promise he made then.

Same old. Same old.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

I was considering coming down for the day.....but 3rd year in a row of solid rains.........I won't be coming down. I miss all of you, but with the weather and other things, I think I just need a year off. I'm with all of you in spirit!

I read that Friday's drag strip event was cancelled due to rain. Also, today's car show was pushed back a few hours because of rain.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

Yes it rained out the drag racing but the funcross was great. It was raining like crazy this morning and the car show was pushed back until noon. The weather has been great since then and we are just finishing up the awards now.

Re: Branson Z Fest 2016

The turnout was larger than in the past two years, there were a lot of new faces this year.

The Funcross was a great success everyone had a blast over double the entries than last year, everyone was looking forward to the drag racing till it got rained out. Danny is looking for another location closer to Branson for next year and possibly (just a thought) doing the Funcross on Thursday and running all day.

The rain on Saturday for the Car show meant a lot of changes had to be made pretty much last minute because the original plan was to have the cars on the grass areas, with that much rain the grass was still pretty wet and while it was still pretty packed it was still very slick, so the venue offered the parking lots and road leading to the parking lot for the cars. We had a couple of issues getting the cars loaded because the road was narrow but it worked out.

The new show location is better, not in a bowl, lots of grass around, a large pavilion with fans going, several restrooms accessible in the club house with a small cafe/dining area with pretty decent menu to order from with very reasonable prices.

The new hotel was great,very clean rooms, provided water hoses to wash cars with, had a great sitting area in the center, everything easy to get to and very accommodating staff. Breakfast was normal hotel "free" breakfast fare- biscuits,gravy, eggs, sausage, waffles, toast, ect, but so much better than the Rowdy Beaver.

Overall from everyone I talked to, everyone had a great time, thought it was one of the better ZFest in years.
