    I just rode my motorcycle from a dinner with the insiblings back from burnesville right in the middle of it... hmmm not fun... tried to prove the Mythbusters theory wrong about going faster int he rain gets you less wet.. but alas by the time I finished my 25min ride home I was soaked....

    When it was raining? We were there until like 10:30 I think. Then, because of the rain and the fact that 90% of the people there had left, we also left. Didn't see any bikes pull in, or silver cougars.;) You'll have to make it next week, although, I'm guessing many of us will be in Shakopee at the Hella Supertones install night!

    Really I think that you were at the wrong place or dreaming because I was the last person to leave the lot last night at I believe 10:40 or so.

    I was not dreaming. I was there. I was talking to a few asian guys to the left ot the entire gang. I left pretty much right after the blown red chevy wagon and a black 2.2l turbo pulled in the lot.

    Well then you must have been there earlier, fobia left before 10.

    Just make sure you make it down a few times...better yet, sign up for the La Crosse cruise and ride along with someone. You'll get a chance to meet alot of members there. And see all of the cars. 50 of them to be exact...as of right now, I'm sure there will be more by Saturday. :cool:

    The thing you need to remember is that there is 100 different things happening at once when you are at firestone. There are people swapping parts and such, telling stories, etc. Then you have all the little groups that happen. Like Nathan said, you need to show up a couple of times before you can expect to get a nice warm welcome.

    Yeah I was going to ask about that. The wife wants to show up to see all the old cars. I think the sister-in-law will also be coming. What time are people planing to show up or what time should we plan on showing to get a spot? I got a feeling I will have to go there right after work.

    Well, last year it was kinda lame, not much different that a normal weekend. Other weekends you had to be there around 5 to get a spot in the lot. I am guessing that if it stays nice out you should be out there pretty early or pretty late. The back to the 50's crowd usually starts to bail around 9-9:30 or so.

    I think they close at 6,
    because I used to get there at 6:15.
    (but, like always, this is just a guess)
