Not at all ..... the list ^^^^^ above in Post #53 only indicates those who HAVE NOT indicated their intentions in the Poll. You and JoAnn are in the YES category.
 
I just burnt it up. I was doing the J-mod and I didn't put that stupid filter screen in correctly and destroyed the direct drive clutches.
So I'm going to rebuild the original.
I'm gonna start on Tuesday.
I still need to buy something from you so I can pay by check again. :D

Otay...so, I've been going through all the possible scenarios for the best time of arrival to shoot for. It will be a 10-11hr drive for me, so need to take a lot into consideration. I can't show up on day 1 at all due to my class schedule; I have classes until 3:30pm. I don't want to show up at 2-3am...that would just make a mess of day 2; also, since I will be missing classes on Friday, I don't want to miss any class for more than one day...I don't have any classes on Thursday, so that helps. I do have a lab from 930-11pm on Wed nights (astronomy) but don't have an issue missing that since it's only once a week...besides, I'll have to miss it if I want to make it up there safely in time for Gingerman w/o driving through the night...who wants a sleep-deprived driver on a road course...not me.

I don't want to miss Gingerman, so need to arrive prior to the start of that. Didn't want to miss the Air Museum, but will have to. Wanted to make the drive all in one shot, but won't be able to w/o taking some serious (and dumb) risks. I will plan on leaving here around 5pm Wed afternoon and stop near Louisville for the night, get up the next morning and arrive at hotel around 3pm to check-in and have time to meet up with everyone else at Gingerman. Looks like it's only 10 mins from hotel, so shouldn't be an issue. Looking at the itinerary, arrival time at Gingerman is 4:30, correct?

I do have a couple questions, though. Will there be someone at the hotel from MM.net so I can 'check in' with them, or will it have to wait until after we get back from Gingerman? Is it okay for me to meet up with everyone at Gingerman, or will this cause problems?

I plan on booking my room within the next 24hrs and will do the registration piece when I am told it will be okay for me to 'show up' at the track w/o the main group.

Thanks again to all that have put together what will be an awesome event...can't believe we're only 45 days away!

Looking at the Itinerary for Thursday, 13 Sep 2012, I suspect that many people if not all will be heading back to the hotel after the Kalamazoo Air Zoo. They should arrive there around 3:30 PM to change clothes, pick up race gear/equipment, drop off "non-racers", and maybe freshen up a bit before heading over to Gingerman. An MM convoy will likely roll from the hotel parking lot between 4:00 - 4:15 PM. Your check-in at 3:00 PM should allow more than enough time for you to depart the hotel with the gang enroute to Gingerman. Suggest that you check with Pops on his timetable for this.

Based on past MV Events, registration with MM.Net is usually set up on Wednesday afternoon 3:00 - 6:00 PM or so for the bulk of the hotel arrivals. Thereafter you can register in the mornings or evenings while most folks are at the hotel. Probably little opportunity to do this during the day between events.

Just reserved my room...will do the registration piece in a day or two. I get my retirement pay and GI Bill housing money tomorrow...I've had the kids with me for the past week (gotta give em back in a few hours...:(), so funds are kinda low at the moment.
 
Ok, it looks like I am going to drive in early Friday morning but I need to know where I would find a self serve car wash near the hotel that I can get to before going to the car show. Any one have a suggestion?

According to "Pops"/John, there is one about 3 minutes from the hotel (Ramada South Haven Lighthouse). It will be good to see you again Mike. Last time was at MVIII in August 2005. Its been way too long. I hope Dave, Dan and the rest of the MCM gang can find time to make MV10.

Looks like there are three car washes close to the hotel including one right there at the Shell Station within a short walk of the hotel >>> http://local.search.yahoo.com/search?p=car+wash&addr=south+haven+mi&section=map Not sure which one works for you.
