Hi Mike,
We will be arriving friday with the blue noodles. It seems all my firefighter buddies have went AWOL,although we still have a couple of maybes. My Daughter,Husband and two grandsons will be coming saturday for the races and will spend the night with us.
Are we planning to have a campfire? We can bring a little campfire wood with us and what are the plans for eating?

Yes Buck we are planning a fire both nights weather permitting. Although they will not be of metro Detroit standards unless for some reason woody shows up with a absurd amount of wood. But we have not seen them on the list so I bet we're safe. Please bring some wood, I will bring a nice load of kiln dried scraps but having some logs is nice too.
Food. On Friday when I get there I will light the grill and keep it hot for the night so bring you hot dogs or brats and we will cook them while you set up. We are planning chillydogs and will have chilli to share.It may even turn into community table who knows. Saturday we can do a potluck late breakfast. We are going to make Ebilskivers ( lil pancakes puffs filled with nutella or fruit preserves) to share. We are planning on track food for dinner. Then after the fireworks are over we will do pitch in snacks at the fire. We will pop popcorn on the fire and may even break out the kettle corn. Sunday is a crapshoot. Whatever happens...happens. sound good? Have any other ideas? I am open to suggestions.

We will be in after work. I think around 5:00 and will light the grill and fire soon after. Bring a hot dog or sausage to toss on and lets party.

Sounds like we have another daughter and three grandchildren join us on Sat. They will probably tent it.

Mike,
Just checked the schedule and the 1/4 midgets(little guys)will be running @7:30pm friday night and 9:30am saturday morn,so it looks like we will not be by ourselves on friday. We will probably be there around 3pm. Is there a certain place you want us to park?

Buck, I sent Gary the track owner an email about that Thursday evening and have not heard back from him yet. I hope he has not forgotten about us. I dont think there is a problem he is in the middle of trying to squeeze a bunch of points races in between rain showers at the moment. ( I am watching his Facebook page) As soon as he decides where to put us I am sure he will let me know. I will post here as soon as I get word. Last year that descision happened on site but this time they know we are comming. I am estimating about 15 total units. Don't worry they have plenty of room, some of it is just a little hilly that we can make work. So I guess what all that babbling means is....as soon as I know I'll post. But don't be surprised if you are making the call with Gary on site. Don't worry he's a nice guy. I'll be there about 5:00
Seven days till "WRECK SOMETHING"

I hope that because this is in the Wbcci rally section that we are not getting over looked. This is an open field with no way to be restrictive so we have campers of all kinds comming. So just come on, it will be great.
I also hope the forcast changes just a little bit, as of now I saw a cloud with rain for Saturday but it is early to get worried.
Three days till party begins, four days till "WRECK SOMETHING"

Cool Top, come ready to have fun. The Saturday night event is going to be worth the drive. If you have any questions post them here and I will do my best to help.

Thanks Mike,
We plan on having a great time. I'm sure that we might get a little "smashed up" ourself since it is a "Night of Destruction"

Thats my plan. I have some pudding shots to take in with us and a smallish cooler with some other liquid goodies that will keep me warm!

Loved the RV museum. USF beat ND albeit both teams were less than stellar. The Henry Ford (museum) was great! Miller's for a burger and beer. Planning on Metzger's tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing everyone Friday.

Glad that you are enjoying the area.
Two day until the party starts. Three until the main event. Looks like it's going to be chilly and maybe a little wet. We have some portable shelters ready to bring and I might be able to even come up with a heater to take the chill off. So start doing a sun dance to chase off the rain .

I have not gotten a response from Garry the track owner in a while even after trying to e-mail him twice last week. I am going on the saying that "No news is good news." If you are the first to arrive they usually like the camping to be done at the far EAST end of the lot. Last year they put us near the exit gtates by the tree. We will need space for about 15 trailers, kind of flat, and hope to be no standing water. At this point I think we will be pulling in around 4:30 or earlier but I will have to see how much water I have to deliver in the am first.
Travel safe and see you there.

We are here and setup with a total of 4 streams and 2 others. I heard someone pull in about 3 am and haven't gotten up yet to look outside. Looks like the weather is going to be good most of the day. Some went last evening and watched the 1/4 midget track. Others just sat around the campfire sawping jokes. There is plenty of room if anyone else wants to come and join us.
