Hotel Reservations
Booked my room today. I am to understand that everyone that has said they were coming has booked their rooms already.
They will not hold any rooms...... it is a first come first serve basis. So anyone else that would like to participate in this run may want to get a room booked ASAP.
For a list of confirmed SSR Fanatics......see post below

Hello Hotrod girl: I grew up in the copper country,Laurium,MI. I would'nt trade for anything,
the healthy clean air of lake superior and the delicious pasties that no one ,unless
from midwest,ever heard of, pasties?! I almost won the soap box derby(sponsored by chevrolet then) in Hancock,MI. this was in 1956,My mother saved
my helmet,blue in color,made of compressed cardboard,anyway my good friend
Dennis Oja and myself were headed for the finish line, I thought,like in track and field,the moment you hit the finish line you won My buddy waved as he went by me. You see the old "Finish" carpenter that built my car designed
a brake system that not only was simpler,it worked even better! When I hit the
drag brake,which instead of the two piece hinged brake,he glued two 2x4's and
cut them to fit the opening it was one piece that actuated from a shaft that he
drilled thru the 2x4's. in other words it was a swing brake and it was twice as fast
as the conventional design. I won best brakes and best steering out of 120 cars!
My good friend Dennis Oja went to Akron,Ohio for the big show. We were given the
cars.I almost want to cry telling you story,because I remember how wonderful,chevrolet and General Motors were back then from the mind and heart of a twelve year old boy.
Have fun back there and be safe!

Thank You Ray for you generosity!
Thats right Deb, in an effort to try and get some more SSR's to join us Im going to bring a free gift for all that attend (one per vehicle) These are custom CNC machined and Chrome plated pieces and I guarantee you will love them!! I will also be bringing some to the Craft Center picnic for door prizes. Im not going to disclose what it is just yet but I will tell you they will look great with any color or year SSR. So if your on the fence about joining us for this great event now you have even more incentive to try and make it.

No Rooms Left @ the Special Rate
Our new comer Charlie was going to join us for the MI weekend getaway. But unfortunatley suites are all that are left at a hefty price even with a discount.
I called the hotel after I talked to Charlie this morning to see if I couldn't get him in for the price we had..........no luck
I'm sure we all would have loved to have him and his lovely wife join us. It's good to know that we have another SSR member willing to join us on the MI Runs.
Charlie looking forward to maybe seeing you at the WDC & picnic and or the next MI run!

Michigan Getaway
Wow! Looks like we have a great weekend planned for us! I know from living in Michigan all my life, that rooms in that neck of the woods, especially this time of year are hard to get. Looking forward to seeing old and new Fanatics again.
