Default Memorial Day GTG @ Warren Dunes (SW MI) Feeler Post - Whose Coming This Year???

Post From Last Years GTG - Pictures

I'm doing another GTG for SW Michigan. Last year the weather kind of spoiled it as is the chance you take with any outside Porsche GTG. Well, I'm doing it again this year. As you will see from the pics from last year, there probably isn't a better photo op any other place on the shores of Lake Michigan, as I have been up and down the cost several times and have yet to find a better spot for photos and a GTG.

I've been on the horn with a couple of guys and others have expressed interest in the past so here is the official "gathering of the eggs into the basket" for the "official thread" for the GTG.

Like last year, I'm planning on supplying the main course and unfortunately this is a DRY park so unless you want to sneak something in, there will be no booze. Here's a pic of last year from the thread above to wet you appettite:



Heres a map of the are, the town is actually called Sawyer, MI

I don't think the beast will be road worthy by then. If I come it'll have to be sans car.

Michelle - Of course you'd be welcome without the Porsche. Some guys were unable to bring their Porsche's as well last year and just bumb'd a ride on the cruise in other cars.

I live nearby in Grand Rapids, I'll "try" to not do any modifications to my car that week so I might be able to take it.

im near flint but would be very interested in driving to the west side of the state, car should make it. 193k miles and still going. and it would be great to have some rennlist people maybe sneak a peak under my hood and tell my any advice they can. still quite new to me, and i dont trust any of the crazy mechanics here to give my car a look see.

i take it this is on memorial day? not just a day on memorial day weekend? and where abouts is this park? if i want to go im gonna need to make sure i have my dates right when i put in for them at work

It was great fun last year but we need more people to show up this year!! I'll be heading from Big Rapids MI which is near Grand Rapids so maybe we can get a caravan going? By chance if anyone thinks another date would work out better please post it.

Cory,

I'll definatly try to be there this year. But I am not sure if my car will be done by then or not. I just finished my Koni coil-overs, and it needs to go in for an alignment before I can drive it much. So as long as that gets done before to long, (I'm going to be here at school until May 20th) I should be able to make it.
