Alright everyone, I know this is early to be planning this already, but I want to make sure everyone has a chance to save up some money for this event since its going to cost a bit more. This event will be planned for a Saturday in April and will conclude the following Sunday.

The plan is to leave the Cities Sat morning and cruise up to Duluth via scenic roads. Once in Duluth we'll meet up with the Duluth DSM group, grab some food and cruise some more up the north-shore to Gooseberry Falls and do some hiking/sight-seeing. We'll be getting hotel rooms in Duluth for Sat night (I'll get us a group rate at a good hotel, and I promise it won't be too expensive and it'll include a free breakfast in the morning). We'll of course eat at the famous Anchor Bar over in Superior, WI. We'll party it up in Duluth Sat night, there are a few good bars to check out including Grandmas and DAC/21 North. Yes, college will still be in so expect plenty of hotties! Sunday morning we can check out some more tourist spots and then head on back to the Cities.

I'd love to hear some feedback/input about this event, this year's fall cruise was great, but I want an even larger turnout!

*ALL cars are welcome on this cruise so drive what you have*

[A//// Guy]

Sounds good to me! I like the idea of staying overnight, that would be fun. The roads up there are really nice and curvy! Too bad this is over 4 months away lol.

[niterydr]

Overnight stay and a cruise to a destonation FTW!

[Kracka]

Yeah this'll be fun guys, I hope everyone can make it. Right now it looks like we can get rooms at a very nice Canal Park hotel (right on Lake Superior and within walking distance to bars/restaurants, the touristy area of Duluth) for about $100; split the room between 2-4 (more if you want) people and its not expensive at all.

For right now, I'm thinking either April 14/15 or 21/22. The weather should be nice and warm by then; great way to kick off the '07 season.

[AJ]

Do they have a Super 8 in the area? LOL? $100 a night is on the high side I think for those who don't want to pull a DSM Shootout event and cram 4 guys in one room. LOL.

I think this would be a hella fun idea though! I'd probably prefer the 14/15 as the 21/22 would be a little too close to the wedding for us, dealing with last minute items in IA.

[AJ]

Someone link me to some good duluth pics so I can get a web page up for the event and plaster it in various areas of the site.

[Thor06]

If I can get a motor rebuild between school getting done (first week in may?) and the date of the cruise, I would be down, but I would probably drive from Bemidji over to Duluth and meet you guys there.

There are cheaper hotels such as the Super 8 and Motel 6 that are in the $50 range so I should be able to find something that fits everyone's budget.

We'll plan this for April 14/15 right now so it doesn't interfere with your wedding arrangements.

HAWT! Maybe you'll be driving a Mitsu by then?

Oh yeah, What's their super 8 like? The only reason I asked is that when Jana and I road tripped to TN this summer we stayed at super 8 in every spot. Some where REALLY nice and cost was alwasy low. But if it's a shitty super 8 then yeah, I'm all for the better hotel.

BTW, Jana has NEVER been to D Town. And I've only driven though it. So we are looking forward to this.

[Kracka]

I've never stayed in the Duluth Super 8, but I did stay at the Motel 6 once and it was fine; nothing fancy but it was clean and in good condition in a decent area.

The Best Western at the foot of the bridge over in Superior, WI would be another good choice. Its about $80 a night, has an indoor pool and a free breakfast. Its a fairly new and nice hotel in a good location with plenty of parking.

[INTRIGUED]

This will be a good time, D-town has a few things to offer and drinking is of course one of them!

[JET]

Sounds like a good time. It is going to rough for the people upgrading over the winter to get the car done and dyno'd by April. I have the M though, so I am game as long as there aren't any conflicts.

[Thor06]

Damn, I'm out. I was going to toss an engine together over spring break or in my dorm here, but I dont want a room that constantly smells of car and I am probably going to Georgia for spring break.

That silver Starquest is fuckin gorgeous, who owns that?

[AJ]

Once the RF Schedule is posted I am going to look at a Spring Opener Dyno Day at least 2 weekends before hand.

It was Reid's (Shotgun) when the picture was taken, now its Ryan's (Mustgofaster). The red Talon is Cory's (Intrigued) and the Corolla is Cory's brother. The S2k is of course mine.

[turbotalon1g]

Great idea, please finalize the date ASAP, cause i will have to request the weekend off from the army. Jet is kinda right a bit of a tight squeeze for that, but GREAT FUCKING IDEA again.
I can't wait to take a fucking road trip, only thing is that damn 16G will be sitting in boost the whole time!!!
I am down, just have to figure out somethings with the car, i am down with the cheaper rooms, i don't think that we will be sleeping much.
I am stoked for this

[Matt D.]

There is a Holiday Inn or something that I remember staying in last year when I was up there snowboarding. They just built a huge indoor water park there as well. The rooms on the back side of the building looked out over the road toward the lake, don't recall it being that expensive either.

[INTRIGUED]

Thats the edgewater, They are a little more spendy just because of the new water park.
