Default Elkhart, IN- Paw Paw, MI Cruise

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to make everyone who owns a GM sports car to be aware that I am putting together a cruise. This cruise is open to all GM sports cars, Firebird/Camaro/G8/GTO/Corvette/Solstice/Sky etc. This cruise will start in Elkhart, Indiana and end in Paw Paw, Michigan.

The cruise will be August 16th, meeting at 4pm sharp at Battjes Pontiac in Elkhart. The cruise is mostly compiled of back country roads. Most of them have a good set of curves on them, so if you have a car that is set up for drag, then this is probably not the event for you (you are more than welcome to try, but it may just not be that enjoyable). The cruise will start around 4pm at Battjes, and then we will travel to Paw Paw Michigan for dinner at Brewsters. You will have to pay for your own meal, but please let me know if you are able to attend, and what you will be driving so I can make them aware for reservations. It will take approximately 1.5 hours to get to Paw Paw, and then you are free to leave from there at your convenience.

My disclaimer is that this cruise is not set up for people to street race and be crazy. Its simply an excuse for enthusiasts to get out and drive their cars with other enthusiasts, and maybe meet a few more enthusiasts in the community. If this looks like a good opportunity for you to set up racing, then I encourage you to look elsewhere.

Again, please let me know if you are interested in coming or if you have any further questions.

Ed - '02 WS.6

Haha thanks Kyle.

I had to create a new thread because I couldn't find a way to change the title.

Yeah, I can help you out. I'll see if we can open up the shop for a few of us to see if we can get them wiped down. It looks like there should be 10-12 cars so far... but thats a guess.

This Sunday is almost here.

If you're in the area, I'm sure you'll have a good time.

Looks like it was fun.

I think it's time to schedule another Purdue cruise.
