COMING TO KART EXPO?

PHEASANT RUN HOLDING ROOM RATES
After intense negotiations, Pheasant Run has agreed to hold the room rates for the next show at the same rate as 2004. The room rate for a single or double is $106. When making reservations, please be sure to mention “Kart Expo” for that rate!

DO NOT DELAY IN MAKING YOUR HOTEL RESERVATIONS!
Last year, most all rooms at Pheasant Run Resort were sold-out forcing some exhibitors and attendees who delayed in making early reservations, to seek other inconvenient accommodations. (Over 700 room-nights were used by exhibitors and attendees in 2004)
