[Chevelle-list] I-40 Eastbound Convoy

[Bill Lessenberry]

It's May 3rd, time to begin the planning for the convoy to 
Chevelle-a-bration in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. I'm sending this 
email to the participants in the '06 convoy and some other folks to 
get a head count and to tell ya'll about a new event happening 
Tuesday night in North Little Rock.
Last year the travelling folks stayed at the Holiday Inn Express 
Hotel & Suites at 4306 McCain Blvd in North Little Rock.  Here's the 
website-

This is a nice place with easy access to I-40 without any morning 
rush hour traffic hassles.
The plan for now is to leave the motel a 9:00 AM on Wednesday June 
4th.  If we keep our speed to 60~65 mph that will put us in Memphis 
around noon.  We'll get some lunch (is the Cajun Catfish Restaurant 
still OK??) and meet up with the Memphis group and head on to Nashville.

Les Saville has graciously offered to feed us barbeque brisket, pork 
butt, and chicken with the fixings at his house on Tuesday night, 
June 3rd.  Les's home is only a couple of miles from the Holiday Inn, 
and he lives on a lightly travelled street, so there won't be a 
problem driving your cars to his place and parking there.  He will 
need to know how many folks are coming by Friday, May 16th so he can 
get the food.  Any of you semi-local guys (Morrillton, Russellville, 
Conway, etc.) need to come over & eat with us even if you're not 
staying in NLR that night.  Water and soft drinks will be available, 
you're on your own for beer and other alcohol.

Please email or call me with any suggestions, my cell # is 
501-425-8136 (leave a message, I don't have it on very often) shop # 
is 501-868-5870, 9:30~5:30 Monday through Friday.  I'll be posting 
this on Team Chevelle in the I-40 thread in the Cruise-In Forum also.

Looking forward to a great time!!
