DIRECTIONS FROM KANSAS CITY TO PREMIER SPORTS CARS
1950 East Chestnut Expressway • Springfield, MO 65802 • 417-831-6065
Saturday, Sept. 29th
Meet at 7:45 am at Gails Harley Davidson in Grandview, MO. DEPART FOR PREMIER PROMPTLY AT 8:00 am
Gails Harley Davidson address: 5900 East 150 Hwy, Grandview, MO. 64030
(Located on the N.E. corner of 71 Hwy and 150 Hwy.)
Suggestion: People that want to drive more aggressively should depart from Gails first.
Drive South on 71 Hwy. towards Harrisonville, MO.
On the South side of Harrisonville take Hwy 7 East towards Clinton, Mo. - (Approx. 37 miles).
Once in Clinton, drive through town and then proceed straight South on Hwy 13 towards Springfield, MO -(Approx. 86 miles).
Once in Springfield, go East on I-44 for 2.3 miles then turn right or South onto Glenstone.
Travel 1.6 miles and on the left is a Quik Trip and Cody’s gas station. The parking lots are tied together so drivers can split up to get tanks topped off before arriving at Premier. Between the 2 gas stations there are approximately 20 pumps.
AFTER GAS TANKS ARE FULL:
Turn left or South onto Glenstone.
Stay in the left hand lane and turn left or East onto Chestnut Expressway which will be at a stoplight.
Drive approx. 1/4 mile and Premier Sports cars will be on the right hand or South side of the road.
Remember, Premier is in a small strip mall so do not look for big car lot signs. They have their name above the door and you should see a couple of vipers out in front. Park in strip mall parking lot.
DIRECTIONS FROM PREMIER SPORTS CARS TO UNIVERSITY PLAZA HOTEL
333 John Q. Hammons Parkway • Springfield, MO 65806 • 417-864-7333
Review notes at bottom of page before departing, to plan accordingly.
FROM PREMIER:
Turn left or West onto Chestnut Expressway.
Go .9 miles on Chestnut Expressway to stop light of National.
Go left or South on National for .4 miles to stoplight of St. Louis Street.
Go right or West on St. Louis Street .4 miles to parking garage located on the right or North side of the road. (The parking garage is 1 building West of the tall, dark gray building marked Hammons Tower.)
All cars need to park together on the 4th floor for the secured parking we have hired. Anyone that does not park on the 4th floor is parking at their own risk.
Be prepared to possibly pay a $3 parking fee if someone is working the gate when you arrive.
NOTES:
* The walk from the parking garage to the hotel lobby is about 100 yards straight South.
If you would like to check into the hotel before going to the garage, turn left or South on John Q. Hammons drive from St. Louis Street (stop light) and then turn right at the first entrance on your right into the hotel. I suggest leaving from that same entrance, even though it says “entrance only”, because it is more Viper friendly than the actual exit.
The hotel has a big, open lot for those with pickups and trailers.
ONE MORE THING...
Yes, you can leave Premier on Chestnut Expressway and go straight to John Q. Hammons Drive and then got South to the hotel, but this is not suggested! It is NOT Viper friendly as it has a dip and there is also a concrete company which leaves the street a mess with gravel and debris.

Get off on 76 Country Blvd. exit.
Turn left or West onto 76 Country Blvd. Stay in the left lane because 76 will Y and you will want to keep to the left.
The Dixie Stampede entrance will be 1.3 miles down on the right hand side of the road.
The Dixie has reserved an area in the back of the parking lot for us. We will have 2 off-duty Branson police officers staying with our cars from 6pm - 10pm while we are in the show.
Our group will need to gather OUTSIDE the front entrance and Tim Wollesen will go inside and pick up all of our tickets and then come out and distribute them.
AFTER THE SHOW:
• We will use the same directions to go back to the hotel. Please note that traffic will be heavy and we will more than likely get split up as highway 76 will be busy at this time of night. We will have to cross traffic to turn left to get out of the parking lot.
