I thought one of the times you'd walk back and ask us for help carrying over a motor or transmission that you just bought...

Well, I'll be stocking up on parts this year, so probably will. lol.

Free beer for whomever helps though!

He even had me bring stuff back across the border

Looks like I've got a hookup for a trailer this year, so I will be competing Would be epic to run a 10 on the stock 7 bolt at the shootout.

I and Lucian and his friend too! All loaded with lots of stuff.

Would probably be the best place to do it too being how well they prep that track of theirs.


When does everyone start placing reservations? I hear the Motel 6 there is almost fully booked already.

Think I'm going to stay at the track again, it was a blast. No reservation needed.

If staying at the track, where do you sh!t/shower?

I still remember the inside of the portable washrooms .

The RV had both, as well as A/C. Not to mention the track has full shower facilities and non-portable bathrooms.

Not all of us have access to the luxury of an RV .

Thats tempting then.. plantation or track..

It's good to know people who live in that area lol.

The plantation actually looks tempting too, never stayed there but it seemed nice while i was visiting with you guys.

That's the pull for me to the plantation. It was an awesome place. Owner was cool with us working on the cars there and stuff up for us when we were accidentally launching up and down the street.

It was only like a 15minute cruise away from the track too.

Add to that a room with more privacy, mini fridge, etc.

When I am in town I'll be staying at The Plantation. Unfortunately my cousin decided to have her wedding the Thursday night so I will be back in Toronto for that and will either leave post-wedding or very, very early Friday morning and likely drive straight to the track. Will be at the Plantation the Friday and Saturday night.

Won't be staying the Sunday night though as I'll just make the 2.5 hour drive back to Detroit and save myself a night's accommodations.

We got a badass over here

I usually leave Sunday evening, drive all night, stop around Kingston for a power nap and then finish the journey, usually home by 8-9am. I hate driving that trip during the day, love the nice empty night time roads.

This year I definitely want to drive on Sunday or Monday night to avoid traffic. Last night at the plantation was too funny to miss.

Hahaha....I've made the drive back on Sunday nights for much further distances than Detroit (Napanee) but only when I have to. Since I drive my Talon it's nice to drive with the convoy (normally) in case anything were to happen.

Paid holidays booked already. Who's going for sure this year? need to work out shared accommodations.

100% in.

I'm 100% in. As long as things work out, gonna be staying with Terry, assuming over at the Plantation.

Does anyone have any experience staying over at any of the motels in the towns closer to where all the crazy things that happen?

That's the plan

Oh. And this time, I was careful enough to tell the new employer that there will be one weekend in August where I will be unavailable.

lal

Were 98% in.. Of we cant afford to tow our car there.. we will prolly tow someone else. or rent the trailer out for gas money for the car. Just hope my health allows me to race!

Hey Jay, your inbox is full .

Thats the thing though. It would be nice to stay with the Canadians as a group, but at the same time, a couple of the big shots are staying over at the Motel 8 and theres still a couple rooms left.

More cruises would be awesome to do. Such amazing roads they have there!

If you stay at the plantation again you should at least do a cruise around the motels at night, it's a great time, or at the track, nice "after party" if you will each night at the track.

But I want to be at the plantation AND track after parties. I need a designated driver! Lol

Do not count on me "Grasshopper"!!!

Ghislain

Giz, you're just saying that because you're trying to get back at me for jumping around the room last year while you were trying to sleep .

Where there's a will, there's a way!

To keep our rooms close, want to book rooms in the same spot as last time? (The room on the left was 126 and beside us was 125, I think there were two more but not sure) Fill those couple of rooms so we can be loud and curse while not worrying about creating a "bad" impression on any families this time? Lol

For 4 nights at the Plantation in the basic rooms. it will come to 380 US as it normally does. bu thats 475 Canadian with our dollar values. This is getting more expensive then it ever was.

We will prolly stay in the little houses.

I'm game, If we could fill that front bank of rooms where we worked on cars, that would be ideal I got 2 other dsmers coming that could fill one of the rooms as well. I'm not feeling the little house this time, leave that to the couples. .
And don't forget about accommodations for the drunk sisters Stephan!

Are they coming back? I remember we told them we are there every year, but it got bumped back by a week too.

Were they sisters? I don't even remember. Lol

i dont think they were local.. or able to remember anything from that night.

Were they hot?

Pics or video or I call bs.

Honestly I don't remember. I was planning on staying sober that night because we were leaving at like 6am. Ended up drinking till the wee hours of the morning .

I think one was alright, if memory serves me right? She kept on asking about my car and stuff.

I don't have any picts, there's one on last year's shootout picts. Kutchcutters, I think.

Mike, you gonna come this year?

If all goes well with the projects, yes.

It's way too soon to tell.

So some of us will be taking a ferry from Kingsville, ON over to Sandusky, OH. Is anyone else interested in joining?

Heres the ferry's website:
http://www.ontarioferries.com/peleeferry/english/fares.html

Taking the M.V. Pelee Islander at 11:00AM from Kingsville and arriving in Sandusky at 2:45PM. This would be on August 6th.

By taking the ferry, it takes longer to get there, but saves a couple hours of driving, theres no chance of traffic or lineup at the boarder, and you can drink on the boat!

If I put my car on a boat it will more than likely sink with my luck. I must have a car make it this year. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm, if not screw the shootout its cursed for me, Lol
