There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Spyderfest 2015 At The Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites - I-44 Host Phil & Bobbie Burks

- Start date
In prior years, there hasn't been a "Closed door" policy.
Absolutely not!! Last year I was at a non-host hotel and was made to feel exceptionally welcome!
(The broom they gave me to sweep the hotel parking lot was a really up-market model!!) :joke:
You're going to love it Prof.!!

Absolutely not, you may join the festivities at any of the four host hotels.

I was pretty sure that everyone will be welcome. :2thumbs: Thanks for the confirmation! My wife and I are really looking forward to this.

Correct! You can attend any hotel function that you like. When you see the 2015 Spyderfest schedule of events, you'll learn that many evenings have organized activities that will go till 8-9pm most nights (the pie run will go much later than that!). That's when the 'after' parties will begin. There will be a few hotel-centric things happening during the days, when there are are 'open' activities like rides and vendor village times. So, by 8-9pm, some will be ready to hit the sack. Some will want to continue to partay and Cruzer Joe will have the place to be. Some may want to put their feet up and just meet other ryders over a glass of wine, a quiet beer or finely chilled water. ALL of those options will be available to all attendees.
I've had a couple of PM'd questions and here are the answers-----
1. Glenstone, the road on which the host hotels and Pitbull Powersports reside, is THE main drag through Springfield. All hotels, Pitbull, Walmart, restaurants... are all less than a 10min ryde.
2. The Ozark Fairgrounds will be the location for RV'rs. It is also the place for MANY of the official SF activities like Vendor Village, Drag Race, and more.
3. Walmart is REALLY close to all of the hotels. Tell Maria you know me.
4. You can get from the hotels to the fairgrounds in about 12 minites via I44 or via side roads.
5. After you check in to your hotel, please head to Pitbull to pick up your SF packet, hoodie, put a star on your home town on the huge map, meet other ryders, buy some stuff. There is a Schlotzsky's next door for a snack and a drink. Parking is limited. Think about parking nearby and walking over to Pitbull.
Bobbie & I will have two other couples helping us to make sure friends make new friends and questions get answered. LOTS more details will be coming your way in the next 6 weeks!
See you soon!

We are getting as excited as kids at Christmas - maybe more!! :2excited: I notice we are neighbors - you are in Tyler and we are in Garland. Do you ryde with the Terrell group? I signed up, but haven't had a chance to ryde with them yet. Sandy and I are looking forward to meeting you and Bobbie and all the other Spyderficionados. Thanks for your hard work.

Hey Prof......
No, we don't ryde with the Terrell group. Bobbie & I both own and operate companies and that keeps us REALLY busy. Add some grandkid time, a little rest, and our ryding amounts to weekends hitting some back roads looking for a hole in the wall lunch place
LOVE Spyderficionados!!

Puzzle me this.....
Did you know that you can get all kinds of things on the Internet?! I KNOW, right?!
We fully realize many will want to go 98mph, 24/7 while at Spyderfest 2015. AND, we realize some will want to take a slower approach. That is why you have soooo many options for hotels and events this year.
Bobbie & I have just received another of the 'slower paced' treats we'll have at the Holiday Inn: Custom made puzzles! This is just one of the puzzles to give you a taste. The plan is that in the atrium, we'll have several reserved tables where you can enjoy your favorite beverage, make new friends, play cards, other games, and assemble some puzzles. Boring for some, but a GREAT way to wind down at the end of a long day for others.
We may have a contest or two and the winner can receive a CUSTOM puzzle with a picture of the winner and their Spyder! Remember to check the Daily Activity Board at the hotel Reception area!!
See you in a couple of weeks!!

My wife and I should be there before dark. We are riding from Central Oklahoma with 2 short minor stops on the way.
Testing out a recently installed helmet communicator Scala G9x powerset. LOL sometimes she gets ahead of me so I can't see the hand signals.
