Hello All,
Since Kevin is going to be unavailable next month, I am posting for the third event of the season. It will again be capped at 25 cars so sign up early for your spot. It will take place on Sunday, May 15th. Same meeting place and time as before:
More Info for this event PLEASE READ!!!!:
The fun drive is a driving event that covers around 111 miles of Michigan roads between Detroit, Lansing and Jackson. We cover the route in a spirited fashion stopping several times for refreshments and to "talk cars". We do have rules that we ask everyone to follow below.
Where: "Northfeild Roadhouse", 50 E North Territorial Rd, Whitmore Lake, MI 48189 (just west of U.S. 23 and N. Territorial intersection)
When: 9:00 am Sunday, May 15th (leaving promptly at 9:30 am, if you feel you will be late call Kane's cell)
Why: Michigan Fun Drive
Rules of Engagement
1. We will meet in the Restaurant parking lot at the corner of N. Territorial and Whitmore Lake Rd. We will hang out and talk cars at our two stops along the route. The group leaders will marshall cars towards the western end of the parking lot, please help them out by moving quickly to where they ask. Thanks for your help in this.
2. Due to the limited amount of parking, anyone that is planning on NOT driving the event and leaving their car at the restaurant, YOUR CAR WILL BE TOWED, in this scenario. There is a "park and ride" lot across from the Sunoco on the east side of U.S. 23, please use this for leaving your vehicle. The end of the drive will be at a church a couple miles further South on Whitmore Lake Rd.
3. This event is NOT a race, act accordingly. We will be traveling at a spirited pace, but will not tolerate erratic driving or any type of driving that will endanger others. This means no passing in corners, no crossing double yellows to pass or in the process of cornering. Be safe, everyone will thank you for it. Anyone not capable of following this rule, WILL be asked to leave and find their own way home.
4. The overall group will be broken up into groups of 5-6 cars each led by a group leader. The group leaders will set the pace and stop points for their group. All group leaders will remain in contact via cell phones or walkie-talkies. If you have two-way radios, feel free to bring them to listen in to the directions and instructions but please DO NOT chatter on the radios.
5. If you get seperated, don't panic, the group leaders will wait for you to catch up at the next intersection or "T" in the route.
6. We will be stopping for lunch at the midway point of the drive at a great little food joint called Pickett Fence (Phone: (517) 769-3663)
The lady that owns the restaurant is very nice and will accomodate our group even if it is large. Please be respectful of their facility. If anybody misses the start of the drive, you can meet us there.
7. Show up with enough fuel to get you through 111 miles of high-consumption driving. There are both Shell and Sunoco stations near the starting point. We will be stopping once in Stockbridge for fuel/bathroom break/windshield cleaning, etc., so be sure to top off your fuel prior to leaving the restaurant, if necessary. Should the need arise for whatever reason and you need to bail out from the event, Stockbridge is equadistant from both I-96 and I-94 on Highway 52.
8. This a day long event (until approximately 3:00 ), so plan accordingly.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me via private message or at 313-274-8794 for more info or to volunteer as a group leader.
