MI Fun Drive II-'07; October 21, 2007

goldwing2000 · 09-20-2007, 11:09 PM

Event Info

The fun drive is a driving event that covers around 112 miles of Michigan roads between Ann Arbor, Lansing and Jackson. We cover the route in a spirited fashion stopping once for refreshments and to "talk cars". We do have rules below that we ask everyone to follow.

Where: Northfield Roadhouse, 50 E North Territorial Rd, Whitmore Lake, MI 48189 (just west of U.S. 23)

When: 8:30 am Sunday, October 21st >>RAIN OR SHINE<< (leaving promptly at 9:00 am, if you feel you will be late call my cell at 313-300-2117)

Rules of Engagement

1. We will meet in the restaurant parking lot at the corner of N. Territorial and Whitmore Lake Rd. The group leaders will marshall cars towards the southwest corner 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, do not leave your car at the restaurant. YOUR CAR MAY 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 Subway a couple miles further North on US-23 and you can pick up your vehicle after that.

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 warned once. If you do it twice, you WILL be asked to leave and find your 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 for their group, but straightaway speeds will generally not exceed 65mph. If you plan on (or find yourself) driving substantially slower than the rest of your group, please fall to the back of the group so you don't detract from the experience of others. 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 unnecessarily on the radios.

5. If you fall behind, don't panic. The group leaders will wait for you to catch up at the next intersection or "T" in the route. If you miss a turn, we will try to send someone to retrieve you. If you're completely lost, call my cell number above and we'll try to map you out.

6. 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 only be stopping once in Stockbridge for fuel/bathroom break/windshield cleaning, etc. If you're low on fuel during the drive, be sure to top off here. Should the need arise for whatever reason and you need to bail out from the event, Stockbridge is equidistant from both I-96 and I-94 on Highway 52.

7. This a half-day long event (until approximately 12:00), so plan accordingly.

8. The end of the drive is at Subway in Whitmore Lake. It's in a strip mall with a large public lot, so there's plenty of room for all the cars and we don't have to worry about being kicked out. The address is 11930 Whitmore Lake Rd, Whitmore Lake, MI 48189

greasemonkey524 · 09-21-2007, 03:57 PM

We just start with ten cars and if we need more we add more lines if we need to.

Cool. I posted it on another message board, too.

I'm not gonna bother capping the number of cars or anything. If we get 50 people showing up (highly unlikely), then we'll deal with it.

I'm gonna try to get the e-mail out this weekend at latest, that way everyone has a good heads up. I already talked to Tom at C&D, so he might have some 'toys' with him for the drive as well.

jem0473 · 09-21-2007, 06:28 PM

I'm probably down for this. I am attending the OH Fun Run this weekend along with my husband who owns a Speed6.

Am I welcome to post this on my 3 forum? If not then cool, I just thought I would ask.

Cool. I will definately make sure. I know there are quite a few MI guys/girls that have been trying to do this so I hope they will take advantage of this and join in on the fun!
