It's easier to book and cancel rather than wait last minute to book and not find any vacancy.

Is this the place?

That's the one.

Yes

Silly Michael, it's only $20 off. If you have to wait, it's not that big of a deal haha. (though, in the US of Eh, $20 will get you a LOT of liquor).

Who wants to book the house with us? It's a 3 bedroom home, we could all be living by the water for the weekend. Sleeps 8 people, 4 beds. House and a kitchen all to ourselves, if any couples are coming down... thoughts?

Cost savings??

How much is it per room Ryan?

We will take a little cabin.. we like to play the TV really loud.........and rather not bother anyone.

I'd love to commit to that, but as it stands, I'm flying solo

What are you guys booking for?

Thursday Aug 15th - Sunday Aug 18th??

there are 2 bed motel rooms for the single guys..they usually bunk up.

Kinda wish I had a cool GF that was INTO cars...but then again, we'd be broke ALL THE TIME.

We will be getting there thursday and leave monday i beleive.

Ok I booked off the Friday, until Tuesday. So I should be good.

How many hours is it to drive from the GTA?

Ya thats why my 97 is gonna be the high hp car... and her car will be the stock appearing low hp car.

So I checked the hitch data sticker and it says "5000lbs max gross trailer weight".

Think the MDX can handle it?

When I go onto U-Haul's webpage, and specify my vehicle..the dual axle electric brake car trailer is an option for me.

We left early thursday last year. It was 8 to 10 hour drive.

OMG! This better be worth it!

If you seriously think otherwise I think you need to hand in the keys to your DSM and your membership on this board immediately.

That will be all.

I thought these guys were nuts! Driving all that way just to hang out with a few other dsmers....






Then Ryan payed me to go last year.......




It could be aanother wonder if the world! Like Buscher said in the video.. there isnt another car club gathering as big as this.! and theres tons of stuff to do! Its the woodstock of dsm. Thousands of people and their dsms.. all having a great time together for 3days.Dranking.. racing... checking out amazing worldrecord breaking cars! meeting all the dsm gods! Sandra found out how much she "enjoys" astanding by the dyno when a 900hp evo hits 9000rpms!

It tiz!!!

Damn I thought it was like 5-6 Hours.

well maybe from gta.. its 8 hours from belleville. But the trip is half the fun!

Makes sense

Alright seeing as you guys put it like that (Salomon lol), I'm in anyway.

The GF has decided to join me to the GTA, she plans to spend the weekend there with her fam. And we'll convoy down

It's about 6 hours non-stop from Richmond Hill, that doesn't include any rest stops or the border crossing, so realistically 7.5-8 hours. From Belleville add another 2 hours to it and you get our 9-10 hour drive. We go at a decent pace but nothing overly quick (unless you ask Jay) and definitely nothing ticket-worthy.

We usually get a bunch of 2-way radios and have some lovely chats between the vehicles.

I'm up in the air about going this year, what with the new business launching and all. I'll try to make it, but no promises. If anything, Sam and I will be getting a room. Cabin wasn't worth it for us IMO and it was too far away to walk to grab sh!t.

If everyone's going to the Plantation this year, we'll go there, but at the same time, it was a pain in the ass to get to food and shopping which is why I was considering Motel 6 in Sandusky.

Besides, that's where all the action is!

I do plan on cruisin at night. We all got drunk and just stayed at the plantation last year.. This time well have a dsm there.


Cause it runs!!!!!!

You'll be cruising alone! I'll be gettin' drunk!

Jamie and I will be staying at the Plantation as per usual.

Can't beat the relaxed atmosphere, great crowd and no cops to deal with. Not to mention the management is very good about not hassling us for working on/playing around with our cars and there is LOTS of room for trailers/trucks/etc.

And not once in 3 years have I seen anything worse than a mosquito in the bedrooms or otherwise.

Edit: Please refer to other thread...

Sign me up!!! I want in on this fun! I'll be there this year

Let's go in on a house together!

I'm booked at the Best Western, it's a good 13 hour drive for me, well when there isn't an accident on the interstate ugh! In 2011 I left my place at 6am Friday, got stuck in traffic half way across NY state for several hours, arrived at the motel at 11:30pm...still worth it.

You die hard

91 days (3 months exactly) until the Shootout, boys.

Start stepping up your game if you plan to make it out.

We should get an ongoing list of whos going and where there staying. Im calling the plantation tomorrow to reserve.

Has any one in the past booked with only a weeks notice? If so any trouble finding a spot?

I've tried to make for the last few years. Last year I ended up driving by like 4 days after the event ended. The way things are looking now I'll be going through a week before this year. I'm trying to make it happen but will not know until around a week before.

I have always booked WELL in advance, but I think the Plantation was not always booked fully...

Holy sh!t, it's almost time!

Time flies way too quickly.

Not sure if my group has booked anything yet, because we were missing out on one person.

MEng???
