Sounds like a good time! Having lived up in the T.C. area I've just got to ask...What's the "Swow Date" for this gathering?
Seriously though, if any of you know of the whereabouts of the car in my avatar, could you drop me a line? It was an Opel GT drag car that ran at Mid-Michigan in Stanton in the mid 80's. The car was named "Flyin' Fireman".....Don't have too much fun!

Michigan meet

I E-mailed Joe last night but did not hear back from him yet. Pick a date and we'll start right now on a Mich meet. How about the first weekend after the 4th of July. I live 30 miles south of Grand Rapids.
1970 GT
7 GT's for parts

 

[MarkRHayes]

I should be able to make that.

 

[greensmurf20]

GR is an hour away, that'd make you only a half hour away albea. the local classic arcade has a "shine n' show" car show every year in august. maybe 2-3 michigan meets this year would be nice. i'll be up for any meets after the next couple weeks.

 

[Itsa '70 GT]

Sorry about my mis-read guys! Anyway, IF you do meet this year, don't have TOO much fun...

 

[greensmurf20]

Mark, so you're in Berkley? I live in Troy.

Lee Johnston, Opel Guru and racer lives in Berkley. I've still got a ton of his parts I rescued last summer cluttering up my house. I suppose I should contact him - it's been a while.

Aside from the proposed MI get together, who's going to Carlisle? I'll be heading out 5/21 in my Manta.

Mark, did you used to own a shop and race SCCA and P.O.R. rallies out of Traverse City a "few" years ago? Just curious as we might have common friends in the T.C area!
