Topic: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

If we head on down Thursday night will NL be available for camping?

Anyone from Lapeer or Oakland County interested in a Thursday evening Lemons convoy?

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

We will be going down Thursday night as well.  I emailed Bryan to confirm Thursday camping, but haven't gotten a response yet.  He posted like crazy, but then stopped.  Hopefully we can camp!

I just emailed hard drive. I'm at atomicalex (at) gmail.com.

We're still trying to get our trailer situation organized, but a thursday run might work.

He's probably in full on preparation mode.  With 130 cars involved he's probably pretty busy. 

BTW Brian don't forget the PA for the flagstand.  (We're the one's getting hitched there).

Jeff hows the 280Z going?

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

We are way behind schedule, but we will finish as long as we don't have any big issues.  It started last night, so we know that it runs.  Check out our website for details.

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

I'm at Road America for the Runoffs. So I've been extremely busy until our driver tried to move a concrete wall at 13. But I'll be back Thursday afternoon. Sooooo, as posted before, the track WILL be open for Thursday night camping as well as registration assuming we get the registration stuff from Jay soon enough. So plan on being there then to get a good spot for the weekend.

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

Alright so we are leaving Thursday for sure where would be a nice meet up spot?  Not sure where everyone is located.  We are in Metamora (north of the Palace).

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

We are in Livonia.  I surely hope things improve from tonight.  Our car fired right up and ran great before we left the shop last night and tonight it will only run while cranking the starter.  As soon as the start circuit is off, it loses spark.  We chased it all night and got nowhere.  I did learn a hell of a lot about how the ignition system works in a 260Z, but still couldn't correct the issue.  We also installed a new master cylinder to fix the spongy pedal issue and that did not fix the problem either.  We were hoping we didn't have to install the new wheel cylinders, but it's looking like they must be the source of the air.  Grrrrrrr.

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

I'm in Highland, but we're leaving from the Dundee area on Friday morning....

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

Guessing most people are taking 75 and the ann arbor folks will be taking 275?  Any decent meet up spot down there for a bunch of hoons with RVs and Car trailers? 

We plan on leaving just after I get out of work around 6PM and can be in that area around 7:PM.

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

I can't say yet when we will be loading.  We might still be wrenching... sad

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

We're taking 23 down & picking up the Turnpike in Maumee, OH

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

So we are thinking about stopping here.

14500 LaPlaisance Road Monroe, Michigan 48161

Its that big outlet mall in Monroe you can easily see from the road.  There's a Wendy's there as well as a Taco Smell so everyone can get their fast food on.  Everyone can find it and the parking is awesome for RV/car trailer combos.  We should be there around 7:30 to 8:00PMish for team member fueling and likely RV fueling.

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

We'll shoot for that.  Hopefully our car is done.  Heck, one guy might be riding on the trailer painting the car on the way to NL!  big_smile

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

LMAO!  Hell just bring some rattlecans we can help out in the Wendy's parking lots true Lemons style.

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

This is the look we are shooting for.  How steady are you with a rattle can at 70mph?

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

Sorry to hear atomicalex, anyone else want to joing our crapcan convoy?

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

We are shooting for a 7pm departure from Livonia, but knowing us, we will be running late...

My number is (734) 748-7644.  Call me in the afternoon and we'll see what we can arrange for setting up a convoy.

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

We are back in!

But who knows when we will actually leave! We are also cheesing out and staying over in Medina for the night (thanks, Mom!) as my dad wants to see the car before we risk its life. However the plus side is there will be a honking breakfast involved. Yeah!

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

Who did I get an email from today?  Somebody said she was staying in Medina.  I am from Bath which is right next to Medina.

Re: Leaving Thursday Night or Friday Morning? Oakland County Mi Convoy?

Red Rocket Racing will be leaving tonight from the Walled Lake area.  Our team is meeting at 6 to get the trailer packed, so we should be departing around 7:30.  I will driving my big grey enclosed trailer with 3 Balls Racing stickers on it.  Honk if you see us.
