That's a good idea, anyone heading in from the east could plan on that and we could have a mini-get together that I am sure a few "locals" would love to attend.
By the way you forgot one more thing Sharon has going for it.... A Crossfire Forum member lives there

 

I haven't been to a Quaker Steak and Lube in a long time! That place was the best........great wings!

BTW......Do you still have to sign a waiver to get the (atomic I think) Hottest wings?

 

Yeah, I think so. I haven't seen anyone get the atomic wings in a long time.

 

Lorne has himself&Elaine booked into the "Courtyard by Marriott" . hope to see you all earlier this year,I will cross the border before the rush??? . Hope we do not get held up like last year. Lorne

 

Lorne did you get the same deal as last year? and are you staying Fri and Sat? We are looking forward to seeing you and Elaine again, hope you are having a good winter on the North side of the Lake

 

To all attending and staying overnight

I have contacted the Courtyard Marriott today and got a group rate and block of 20 rooms reserved at the cost of $79.00 per night. These rooms are available for Friday and/or Saturday night.(Aug 15,16)
I will post a link in the next couple of days that is being provided to me with a reservation link to allow us to book our rooms at this special rate.
You will also be able to reserve a room by phone.

 

Thanks Gary that is a great rate and it was a pretty nice motel, I appreciate your efforts, hopefully 20 rooms won't be enough

 

I think if members book all the rooms quickly we have time to add more to our block. I have not confirmed this but after talking with the sales person she seemed to be very excited to be having us stay with them again this year.

 

just want to say thanks to everyone who is taking the time to get this set up for us.Me and the wife are really looking forward to this.We will have a cooler of beer with us too for the parking lot party

 

I counted 27 on the list-not too shabby

Remember, while it is called the Woodward Dream Cruise a better name is the Woodward Dream Crawl. The time when you can actually cruise is in the weeks before. Much after midweek and there are tons of cars. This means as a group we can not expect to drive down WW and stay together well. We'll get broken into groups as the lights change on us. Even on Friday night it can take a long time to get anywhere.

Just as long as we know where we are going.

 

I thought it was a great place to stay in a nice area and not to far from a Starbucks (a tad better than Dunkin Donuts)

 

Actually, the Tim Horton's on the corner was within walking distance and it's almost as good as Dunkin Donuts and a hair better than Starbucks And it was fun learning about Tim Horton the coffee shop king and the hockey player too, see last years get together was educational as well as fun !

 

[quote=mbepic]I'm sticking with Gary.. he leaves no man behind

 

[quote=RickZ]I will be sure to lead you to dinner both nights without a wild ride.
We want everyone to be together and not out lost on the Michigan roads.

 

That's what GPS is for!!

 

I'm glad you remembered; I will bring the book with me if you would like to read it.

 

Gary do you know if the $79.00 rate includes the breakfast. The $89.00 rate includes breakfast for two people. See you there. Lorne

 

No it does not.
Breakfast is $10.00
I was informed that rooms at regular rate with breakfast are $99.00 and without are $89.00
This is what the internet site says also. I have reserved rooms for $79.00 w/o breakfast. For those that choose breakfast $10 will be added to their room charge on their bill. We are still receiving a $10 discounted rate and that was the best group rate available.

 

I sent an email to "Church Lady" Betty Howe.
She was the wonderful host of our parking spot last year at the church in Ferndale.

message sent:
We have a new spot this year.......
Our parking spot this year is next to the Chrysler Exhibit at mile 13 and Woodward. It is at the Northwood Shopping Center parking lot in Royal Oak We have reserved between 20-30 spots with the availability of up to 50. We have not forgotten about you and the buzz on our forum is busy already planning this years WDC event. I will keep you up to date throughout this year as we continue to grow in attendance.
We currently have 27 Crossfire owners/members attending and it is only January. We expect this number to rise through the year. I invite you and the others from the church to come on down and see all of us this year on Saturday August 16.
Nearly everyone from last year should be coming again this year and many more !!

Hope all is well this New Year for you and your family. Gary (Valkryderguy)
