I am not totally sure what arrangements the PC makes with the hotels for the time period of the National. For the weekend of the Santa Maria/San Luis Bay GSDC Specialty, our club reserves a block of 10 rooms in 3 different hotels. In the case of last year, it was a pretty good idea, due to the Michael Jackson trial. It started the same weekend as our specialty. I do give the hotels my cell phone number and call them after the show to check on how the rooms and the hotel property were kept. It just helps the relationship.

NASCAR does not accept responsibility for all the fans that cone to the races. The Sieger show doesn't find hotels for 40,000 people that attend or accept responsibility for their dogs. I wouldn't wreck a hotel room just because I wouldn't want them to charge me for it. I went to the National this year at the last min. and found a hotel that took dogs at the first one I came to.

It is an easy thing to crate a dog, and for safety's sake alone you would think they would do so. We never ever leave dogs in a room even crated, they GO with us, for our peace of mind. The Parent Club needs to come down HARD on these people to stop it. Seems like every year at a futurity or the Nationals that this happens. These idiots are costing us sites and hotels.
