First post updated! List for allignment day full, but back-ups are strongly encouraged.

Also threw B4B and the spring cruise into the Confirmed section. I'm thinking the weekend of may 19th/20th for the spring cruise. That's about the same time it was last year. And objections to that? Or other dates in mind?

Hayden-your doing awesome! Keep up the great work

 

[mazdamn02]

Cruise on the 19/20th of May would rock.

Why thank you I'm trying my best to keep this aimed in the right direction with this group of a.d.d. sufferers. Lol.

Anyone else have anything to say about the spring cruise regarding date, time, place, etc?

My schedule is getting more lame by the week. Could probably get a sunday off easier, as for route. As long as it doesn't include gravel roads i'm good.

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

Idk. I think Matt and I quite enjoyed the gravel roads last year

 

[dmention7]

Rally gravel stage FTW.

Ima put THIS out there- no County Road O. Apparently they're trapping the hell out of that place like they do Opus these days... and it's only getting worse. I came up on a wicked accident on Monday, where it looks like someone died and the cops were EVERYWHERE. I didn't know actual Ellsworth cops existed until then.

 

[Picklz]

Not sure I 100% agree with no O, but it might make sense to travel it at a reasonable rate of speed. Also radio's are a must, spread out a bit perhaps, etc. Maybe we can travel a bit further in search of less popular roads, not sure.

Also, NO GRAVEL, I wasn't real happy about it last year especially when a giant effin rock hit my hood then windshield, and I can promise I'll be turning around this year if we hit gravel since I'll be in the 'vette

 

[dmention7]

Well, unless someone wants to go scouting before-hand, gravel roads are going to be a possibility we'll have to deal with. Personally I don't have the time, but maybe one of these young-ins does. Hell, I probably won't even have my car on the road, so maybe I shouldn't even comment. lol

Vette+rally flaps=problem solved........ Lol

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

If someone wants to gimme last years route, i would probably be willing to scout it out sometime between now and the cruise.

 

[Cmezz331]

this is really cool. im down to attend anything and everything. sgonna be a fun year!

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

No doubt man. Should be a good summer of events.

 

[Cmezz331]

Well if you need help with anything, let me know!

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

Updated first thread with some added events and dates.

So opinions on date/time for spring cruise. 19/20 sounds good so far. Does Saturday or Sunday sound better to everyone?

Also suggesting dates for the annual potluck grillinz picnic. Saturday June 16th? This would be the weekend after the first Airport Runs. Or we could do it Sunday the 10th which is the day after the auto x event. But I know some people will have trouble clearing up an entire weekend for MNMazda shens. Thoughts?

 

[mndsm]

Don't do two events back to back on a weekend. You'll have squat for attendance on both. That being said, I say push the BBQ up into early may. It'll be a little nicer out, and summers won't be quite as packed yet.

 

[ohsixspeedsix]

Yeah I figure two events was a little much for most people. As long as it doesn't rain all day like it did last year lol. How about May 12? Or May 26th?

And location? Do we want to do it at the same place as last year, or switch it up? I personally thought the location last year worked out great.
