    MN-area Mini-meet Summer '08

    Since it seems that the midwest population of GMN is growing, it seems like a good idea that we make another attempt at a meet. This is specifically pointed at Clay (mercfreak), ReverendRevival, Sindelir, Ted (Fordman75), and Justin (Monterey1962), since I know all you guys are in/near MN. Obviously, though, anyone from anywhere who wants to come is more than welcome.

    I'd be glad to host everyone at my place, or we could all meet at a restaurant for lunch or something...for those of you interested, toss out some ideas for places to meet, things to do, times/dates, etc.

    Thanks, everyone!

    Count me in. Meeting somewhere for lunch on a Saturday would be good. I'd need about 6 or 7 hours to get out there, though.

      Hey, if you need a place to crash for the weekend, just say the word, man. You know you're welcome anytime.

        What about Ellingson car mueseum in Rogers? http://ellingsoncarmuseum.com/

        They've got some pretty neat stuff in there, plus they have group rates.

          Yeah, great idea! That isn't too far from me...oddly enough, though, I've never been there. Sorry I didn't mention you in the first post...I knew I was gonna forget someone!

              From doing a quick search, it doesn't look like it. Nearest 1/4 mile track is too far west to fit into one day. What I'm seeing for a Saturday meet is a three to six hour gathering. Figure lunch, a tour of something like that car museum, and maybe a short cruise just to get some stares from the commoners.

              I, for one, prefer to do my racing on my own time. When you get a group together, you have to be prepared for too many set-backs, not to mention the lines at the track. Plus, some of us are on a limited budget this year.

                There's a massive Cabelas near that car museum with a huge parking lot. Freestyle doughnut competition, anyone? :heyhey:

                  Depending on when it is I might be able to make it but I won't have a Panther to drive. If you don't mind having a Ford truck tag along.

                      I might have a 2dr Panther by then but I'm almost positive it won't be driveable. My F250 4x4 probably won't have a body on it by then. So I guess that leaves the ol work horse 87 F250. If I have to have a Panther to come maybe I'll just tow the 2dr project along on the trailer. I just need to get a 2dr first.

                      You should check with Tristan and see if he'll be in town at all over the summer.
