Yes, this can still happen. I may need help w. food /drink if we get a lot of yes' votes though. If there is a track, I don't know about it. There is a raceway in Holt (Spartan Speedway), but I have never known it to be open to track days - though it may be.....

I just contacted Jim from the Speedway and he said that would be doable however it would be during a race night and he could only give us about 10 laps around the speedway during an intermission.

I highly doubt this is what you would want to do. I wish there were a 1/4 mile drag nearby however, the world is not perfect!

I suppose we can settle with a BBQ and check out everyone's cars.

I do believe we have some people that will help with food and drink.

Thank's for giving the opportunity!

Also, If anyone would like to add please feel free. I have never set up a meet and really do not know what to expect.

It will still be cool. Large parking lot, access to bathrooms, getting to match screen names with faces.... That is how it all came down with my mid michigan Z club. About 15 cars showed up. Almost everybody had a friend/ spouse/etc too.

I'm bummed out we aren't doing this in Milford. There's a great place called Baker's right across the street from the GM proving grounds and Kensington Park. Way nicer than Lansing.

I will have power source for sure, my office has electricity. LOL. Just bring a regular extension cord. There is also a shady spot in the lot - shaded by another building at all times of the day, close to the power source.

So what are we leaning towards? May or June? Once we decide, I will let you know all weekends I am in town that month and then we can pick a date. Lets not let this thing die, lets do this.

Yes, June 4th is the date I have been trying to get set up for. I may have missed a post on this site, as there are two threads between this site and gmls4.com. I did not start this thread so I cannot edit the original post.

Now, as far as a different location, you guys can decide that, if your feel another location would be better. I just thought it was generous of TBSS to offer his office location for us to use.
