I'm not familiar enough with the area to suggest locations for any of the above, but I'll try to scout if you need it. I think Doug would be able to chime in here though. Unfortunately, I'll be in NC all of next week on business and then in Chicago the following Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Any thoughts on re-using any of our route from last year? |

I've considered it for the twisty road tour part.
I'm not too concerned with the details. It's the schedule that I'd like to nail down so we can promote the event. I planning on going down this week to meet & scout hotels and restaurants. |

Think we can do this all in one day? I'm just thinking of getting everyone going and keeping the pace steady. I think it is a great plan. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Sean
What can I do from up here? This should not be all on your shoulders. I can call sponsors, make up drive route instructions (once we know what the route is), make hand outs.... Did you get any info on the sponsor stuff from the SMOG guys? |

That's a darn good question. I'll be running a couple training sessions for a bunch of our Chicagoland area agents. I'll drive up Monday night, do the training sessions all day Tuesday and then drive back to Indy on Wednesday. I think they're looking for a place on the south side of Chicago. I'll let you know when I get more info.

Schedule looks good - we need locations locations locations.
Hotel location - ??? Price??? Breakfast location - how many? Poker run can be figure later based on the above Lunch location - can be done later as well Show and shine -- need a gud spot Dinner location - I suggest somewhere not too far from the hotel and someplace that will serve alcohol. You guys are clser to this Than I am - just throwing out that we need to nail the hotel local, breakfast local, show and shine local and dinner local. You may want to move this closer to Indy. It would be cool if there was a tie in to one of the Indy tracks fore the show and shine - dont know if its possible. Sean - post a note on the main board and ask for sponsors - I am already in.

What about - This is a big WHAT IF here:
We stay at the Brickyard Crossing Hotel (only 20 rooms available right now, though- I'll call tomorrow) The poker run starts at the Brickyard and ends at our Lunch Location in Columbus (similar to where we started last year) After Lunch we do an organized Fun Run (like last year) and end in the park for the show-n-shine Then cruise back to Speedway (1 hour or so) then have dinner Sunday is breakfast then Track Tour of IMS. They will do that for groups of 20 or more. Can this idea be tweeked to work? Or should we think about keeping it in the Columbus/Nashville area? *edit* Mapquest says Nashville to Speedway is 1:18 |

Is the Brickyard crossing in speedway? Hmmmm, that area of Indy can be ???? Maybe a hotel in the Southern part of Indy would be better.
You live up there - just make sure its a nice place. M |

This is the hotel that is connected to the track. Anyone who is anyone in racing has stayed in this hotel. It's not a 4 star joint, but it's no roach infested motel either.

I like the idea of staying closer to the southern Indy to Columbus area for the poker run. If that would be easier to do?
Staying by the brickyard would be cool but if we can get the IMS tour lined up for Sunday then the tie in to Indy would be made. |

Not much chance of getting my 73 ready. But, no problem at all gathering at my place anytime during the event.
Hotels in Nashville in Oct are at a premium. Next week I can check on availability. I'm going back to FL tomorrow morning and returning on Sunday. While I'm there I'll spend a little time to see if there is any possibility of getting the 73 completed before the event. I can start helping with any event needs next week. Work stuff and the house project have kind of taken me out of the 914 mode. This event is just what I need to get fired up about 914's again. |

Sure can!
Is your car going to be together for the event? Do we need to have a wrench day at your place to get the white car ready? |

Man, I hope it's ready. There is a DE in Sept that I want to go to, actually 2 of them, plus 1 the weekend after our FFC.
I did just agree to buy a 2.2T motor that I plan on making a 2.2S or E spec for whitey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

So, for the wrench day, are you working that day-the real job I mean?

QUOTE So, for the wrench day, are you working that day-the real job I mean? That depends on when we want to start. I could call it a 914 day and take the day off, or make it a short work day and and then call the rest a 914 day. Fairly flexible. |

OK, sorry for the thousand questions.
Can we do the Show-n-shine at your place Sat afternoon? If so, I think we can finalize the schedule. I need to go to Columbus and get the hotel thing done. Then we need to map a poker run route. Is everyone ok with using last year's Twisty Road Map for the big run? |
