Quail Lodge closing

Post by airsanford »

I just saw an article in the L.A. Times about hotel foreclosures. It said the owners are going to close The Quail on Nov.16.....

THAT should help the 16 other shows that seem to be happening all on that Saturday I would think.

Man, you would think the cost of the Quail tickets would cover the whole hotel for the year! Bad management I guess...

I heard from some locals that the Quail will be closed for one year, except for special events. After one year the Union Contracts will be voided and they can start over. Looks like Tom S. had some real insight into this situation!

The info I received from the Quail stated they had been losing money for yrs (read: before this recession), that they were closing the hotel operation for good in November, but, would continue special events, including the Quail auto event each August.

Jim is correct. I spoke to a friend who is on the Motorsports Gathering committee over the weekend and he confirmed that the event will continue this year along with the motorcycle event in May.
Yale - the Motorsports Gathering is on Friday.
