5th Annual Lapeer Spring Meet

New 02/11/2005

It's that time again!

The date is Saturday May 7th at Lapeer Dragway:

Saturdays are Test-N-Tune, and for $25 you can get a LOT of runs in. Please
note that a helmet is required for all cars running. Any helmet will do, and
they also rent helmets at the track for $5.

It will be our "usual" routine of a gathering at Big Buck (in Auburn Hills)
on Friday night, the track on Saturday, then dinner in Lapeer on Saturday
after the track.

If anyone needs hotel info, email me, but there are a lot of hotels near Big
Buck in Auburn Hills on Opdyke, like Motel 6, Holiday Inn Express, Marriott
Courtyard (walking distance to Big Buck).

I will also post this to the various SHO lists, but any car is welcome (even
turbo Subies like mine)!

We also hold the Fall Meet at Lapeer in the October timeframe, for those who
can't make it.

<Soapbox Out> As I get cranky in my old age, I don't want to hear the
gripes about Lapeer, as:

1. This is primarily a social event, we are not professional drag racers.
2. We are all running on the same track, under the same conditions.

We have run at places like the NHRA-sanctioned Quaker strip that has a hill
at the end. Don't matter it's still you against the guy in the next lane!!

<Soapbox Put Away!>

BTW, Dave Garber says he's coming. Whenever he comes, the weather is GREAT.
When he has missed the last few outings, it has rained!

I could post pictures of the last three events that I have been to ---but many people would be upset. It's a great great gathering across SHO generations. If you can find a way to make, do so. The ability to put personalities to email addresses alone is worth the trip.
