I can't believe I missed this! You guys literally met in the parking lot of my work, and I was already gone home for the day. I had no idea :sad: If you were to pan right in the following pic, you'd be looking at the backside of my company building!




So, when's the next meet? I want to come out and play!

Here's a crummy pic of my latest project which should be on the road in a few months.

I got the motor fired up back in Feb but have been too busy since to finish.

Still need to install the brake booster, clean up the harness and then the exhaust.

When I mentioned the chuck-holed events, I was really talking about the ABC auto auction! Yeah, it's a fun, fast setup, but the surface leads a lot to be desired.

I'll have to check out those events you mentioned. The Tirerack is fine, I've never really worried about running off the course, I see a lot of people do it, but if you have a car that is not happy going into the grass, I can see your hesitation.

Here's a shot of me at the Tirerack just running into the grass...

Any plans on doing events this year? It's always nice to put faces to screen names.

The ABC site is rough....But the folks were great IMO.....Fast though?? Some of you guys need to get to Grissom down in Peru IN.:p In my S/P car you could hit 70 plus, in a few places....FUN!!

That car was pretty stable as far as staying on all 4 when sliding. The problem is that I always managed to spin out at least once or twice per event.......And that car had alot of $$ dumped into it. Sideways into grass =

Yeah despite the car being almost completely stock, cept' a bunch of SM lightening, yeah I might. It's not prepped yet but who cares......Next year though it's on.

I reckon I could put on a BBQ at my place but I'd like to do something in the summer, I don't have a great entertaining house so it be best if the weather is conducive to being outside.

I've got enough space that we shouldn't have too much trouble parking the all the Kraut.

Oh ya I'm not too far off 23 in Hartland which is between Brighton and Fenton.

The Furrin group used to put on nice events. I usually made it to the ABC auto auction event. Not the best site but good folks and decent courses....I was always afraid of balling up my S/P car when sliding off course into the grass at the TireRack so I never ran my car there.
If you really like autoxing YOU HAVE GOT TO GO to a cendiv event at Oscoda wurtsmouth AFB, if they still host events there. Went to the last Pro Solo there and that was by far the best autox I've been to yet!!

Otherwise Michigan is slim pickin's for really good autoxes.....If you are close to toledo BAX airport is a GREAT site, and the NWOR folks put on good events. They were my home region to even though I was 2.5 hours away and another region was only 1/2hr away. Just a good group of folks.

#2 for the Oscoda auto-x.

A nice 2 day event in a beach town.

Whoh, missed this thread. GR is a great place to go, it's a nice sized city with plenty to do, but not too big.

K-Zoo is a nice place, but it's a little boring. However, I lead a pretty boring life, so I guess it fits in.

Any meets in the middle of MI, or Auto-X's? I frequent the Tire Rack down in South Bend since it's a nice little track to run on. Beats the chuck-holed parking lots at other events.
