    Wish I were going, but I won't be. Used up all my wife's willingness to take vacation on Shooting Star :(

    Hoiping to sneak out to LSPR again though. The Library is too much fun to miss!

    I will be there. Also for those who don't have a room yet, you will want to get one soon. Comfort inn is making people get a 3 day stay for the weekend of the rally. I am guessing that the other places will be filling up rather quick.

    Yeah, that's what all the college kids up there tell their parents too, right? "Uh, yeah. I was at The Library with some friends..."

    I'm in! I signed up to work all 3 days. And I got a room at the Rally Headquarters, The Northern Inn starting Thursday night.

    I'm really excited to see these guys race.

    I went up Hwy 64 out of Motley last weekend and found the road closed South of Akley. The detour is twisty and fun but adds a fair amount to the drive. A local gave me the short cut around the detour if you don't mind gravel roads. Mind them? I love em! But not every one does.

    I'm from red lake originally so I'm not worried about hotel rooms... I haven't been to this rally since maybe 2000 and then I didn't even know what it was... Now that I got a subie, I'm really into the whole motorsports scene... Just a question, does anyone know if T.Pastrana will be running his Sti there?

    Yes, TP should be running his sti. he has a full ride with Subaru, so I am guessing that they won't let him get out of it (Unless he gets hurt). We will have to try and get a little something together one of the days (maybe Friday afternoon before the worker meetings and such).

    we will have to wait for the schedule to come out to pick a accurate time, but the last couple of years i have gotten to the northern inn around 12 and that gave me plenty of time to walk around and check everything out.

    i went up there last year in the gvr4 - had a great time aside from the mitsu breaking 2 wheel studs (my fault).

    i'll be up at cass lake that week for a family vacation and i'm debating whether to leave a day or 2 early to go spectate. maybe just saturday, we will see

    k, rooms are pretty well booked up, unless you want a suite:biggrin: i found one place that has a few rooms left for a pretty good price. my question is, does anyone want to go in on a room to split the bill? looking for 1-2 people to split the room. the people i usually go up with look like they are busy that weekend and i dont want to pay for a 2-3 person room by myself. so if anyone needs a room let me know asap so i can make reservations.
    thanks

    We should meet up around noon or so. I don't think I will be there by 11am. Also, worker registration goes till noon, after that we are free till the 2pm worker meeting.

    it probably wouldn't matter what side of the lot we met, the front lot we might not all be able to park together but it would probably be the easiest.

    We should just plan on meeting outside buy the main extrance to the halls (closest to the pits) at noon. Some of us already know each other, so it will be easy to spot them. i will try to have on my mnsuabru shirt.

    I'm heading up on Friday for the weekend too. Not sure I'll be able to make it to Northfield Inn at 12, but I look forward to running into MNSubaru members around the courses.

    I'm also really curious to find out what the volunteers are doing. You guys should make sure and post a thread on that later.

    I haven't met any of the MNsubaru guys yet, being that I'm not in minn. due to the AF. But when I do get to finally meet some of the guys, I'm sure it's going to be cool. I can't wait to see some of the rides that you guys have! And if you see me around before hand, I drive a silver 04 wrx with enkie's on it. Just give me a hollar. Can't wait for the rally!

    Well, I will be driving my rally cruiser, my 96 chev pu. I might be running sweep, I am not sure yet. Last year I didn't find out that I was running sweep till we showed up. I will also bring up some mnsuabru shirts and stickers for those you haven't picked any up yet.

    I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!

    If anyone is going up Thursday a.m., Hwy 10 then Co. 64 North out of Motley, let me know if you want to caravan. I live just South of Motley and will be going up late morning and I know the gravel detour around the Co. Rd 64 road closure.
