Wexford Starlite Car Cruise to delay opening of 2008 Season

[sasquach]

This will probably be an ongoing dialog, so I’ll address these few concerns now.

1. The parking lot construction will be finished before we open. The new upper lot is our biggest issue right now. Normal setbacks have put us where we are now. Added to that is the lousy late winter/spring weather. We just can’t get any blacktop up on the new lot. It is graded, prepped and wired for lighting, just can’t get asphalt on it for a while longer. I’m being told we’ll have 300-350 new spots up on the hill. With the ones we lost due to the new part of the building, that is supposed to give us a net gain of about 275-325 new spots. That’ll take our blacktopped parking availability to over 1000 with tons of grassy areas up on the hill to compliment the lot once the grass grows in.

2. Upper lot amenities: There are plans to put a few food vendors up there and pipe the music up there as well. Our challenge is to keep it from becoming two cruises. We’ll deal with that as things develop. We on the cruise leadership teams need to keep reminding ourselves that we’re not a car cruise lot that has a church attached to it but the other way around

3. We have no misconceptions that this will be an incredibly difficult season. Adjustments will be made along the way in terms of traffic flow, vendor placement etc that will be addressed as they come up.

Oh and as for space saving; No more 6 PM cut-off time. No space saving. Period

Thanks to everyone on this board who attends. We love that so many of you come. What we’re asking for this year more than anything else is your patience. Also, if you’re so inclined, saying a prayer for us wouldn’t hurt either.
