I have used the link and have booked my room. I encourage everyone committed to this event to make your reservation soon. If we book all 20 rooms we may be able to add additional rooms for our group rate.

 

we got our room booked too.Thanks for setting things up

 

Just curoius.....since we have so many Chicago area members coming to this event........would anyone be interested in attending a track day at Gingermann raceway on a friday maybe?

Just throwing this out there, nothing set in stone........curious for responses!

 

I plan to be spending about 6 hours on Friday driving to Auburn Hills. Several of us meet at various points here near the Chicago suburbs and drive up together. We would most likely not be in town until 3 or 4 pm. I can't speak for the others but that is what I have in mind.

 

I received this reply from Chuch lady in my email tonight:

Hi Gary: I am really glad you guys pulled this off because
what the Crossfire Owners have to offer is far too
impressive not to be at the epicenter of the
DreamCruise. I think Zion Lutheran should just be
pleased that we were able to host you in 2007 and I
can guarantee that I will be visiting you at your new
location! Best wishes, Happy New Year, Betty Howe

 

We have now booked for Friday/Saturday nights at the Courtyard Marriot.
$79.00 group rate.

 

Terrific. We look forward to seeing you again. Gary

 

Room booked for Fri and Sat nights. I even registered for an early check in, just in case.

 

Terrific. We are going to have a great time

 

C'mon Illinois members... lets go to Detroit !!

 

Just booked a room for Fri and Sat, I also requested early check-in, I figured if Tom gets there early I plan to be right behind him, or maybe just ahead of him
Looking forward to seeing everyone

 

I'd race you there Rick, but there's WAY too many State Troopers on I-80. I'm gonna be forced to use my cruise control so I don't get out of hand.

 

Great !! See you in August

 

Sorry, read this and forgot to reply......
Look forward to seeing you in August. It will be a pleasure having you join the Crossfire convoy out of Illinois and up to Detroit. Gary

 

Gary I was thinking on coming up on Thursday like I did last year but when I do the website reservation it won't accept it I guess because of the extra day. Is there somebody I can call and talk to so I can add an extra day. Thanks, Pat

 

Pat,
You can call Nicole at the number below. If you explain that you are with the "Crossfire" group but want to arrive a day earlier (Thursday) they might be able to book you for the group rate for Fri and Sat night and charge you the regular rate $89 for only Thursday. I have the group rate set up for Fri and/or Sat only.

I'm sure that if you sweet talk her, she'll extend the group rate for Thursday as well

 

Tom2112, Thanks!! for the offer. I'll take it up with my other half. We figured we would have to make a long trip out of it. Our biggest problem will be planning for the time off. We're self employed and it can be difficult, although you wouldn't think it shouldn't be, to get away for more than a day or two.

I also head-up meets for the Honda Ridgeline Trucks forum here in the Northeast and I'm waiting on the announcement of our annual meet. I hoping it won't be the same weekend, because then I'm really going to have a difficult decision to make, although my vote is for Crossfires. A heck of a lot more fun!!

Should have some type of answer in the next week or so.

THANKS, Again for the offer. Definately keep it in mind.

 

Let me see if I have this straight........You actually have to choose between the largest one-day collection of cars anywhere on the earth, while in a Crossfire, or going to a meet with a few honda trucks???????


WOW......that's totally a no-brainer for me!





Honda makes a truck???
