    Automotion - May 15 & 17, 2009

    You know that spring has arrived in Wisconsin Dells when Automotion rolls into town. Automotion 2009 features a swap meet, car corral, an evening car cruise and over 1,000 classic cars and trucks on display (1989 and older). Spectator admission is free! So cruise into "The Waterpark Capital of the World!®" and check out ALL the rides!

    I have gone to this the past 3 years with a bunch of guys from lacrosse and its an absolute blast. Although its mainly a classic car show, Imports and "tuners" have become a large show.

    We usually meet friday evening in LaCrosse and make a cruise out of it on the way down. Events have included (but not limited to) testing and comparing, hotel room grilling, bungee jumping, and going out on the town.

    Here is the Hotel we have stayed at the last two years and they have treated us pretty well and there is plenty of parking. We will start getting rooms together when the times gets closer. There is no huge rush I don't think that hotel really fills up.

    Both the Super 8 and Monoco run about $180 total for the 2 nights. Just depends on location preference.

    Wow, you beat me to it!
    I go every year and am meeting about 10 people from Chicago.
    We've stayed at the Monoco for the past 5 years and will be again this year.
    IMO its the best motel because its right next door to the show and within stumbling distance of Marleys.

    anyone that is thinking of going should because like it was said above, IT IS A BLAST!

    unfortunatly, we've never made to the actual show. We sit out front and watch the cars pull in. So hopefully someone else can answer. If anything if you like hotrods like that, you'll enjoy going just to watch.
