I know there are quite a few of us in the Detroit region and I need to make some friends outside of work.

Sure I'm interested.  Got any ideas? Kart to kart would be good. Also should plan for the auto show now that they changed the date to summertime

Possibly. You might be able to drag David Tracy away from his rust heaps if you time it well.

Possibly for me too.  I couldn’t make the Hines Drive meet a few years back due to family stuff, but I’m up for something.

Possibly. I t’ s a 5 hour drive for me and I’m not super keen on visiting Detroit but if there are good driving roads I might be down.

Interested - really depends on the when and where.  North of Detroit would be better, not so congested.

Reminds me that I haven’t done Huron river drive in like a year.  I’m up for whatever though.

The small mouth fishing under this bridge is awesome. Weightless worm with  no bobber works great.

I am in for an Oppo run. We are on the west side of the state now.

Getting a group together for K2K is a great idea! Especially in lieu of the Jalopnik K2K Auto Show shindig.

3 hrs for me. Worth it! Name a time,  place, and how many cases of beer!

I shouldn’t play any real role in deciding against it, because it’s not all that likely I can make the trip, but I’d much rather go driving somewhere scenic. I can’t race karts with my bad back.

Any route in particular?

Well they do have axe throwing.

;)

P othole season is in full effect with the light winter but I’m game for that too.

We could go to Hell and back, just a suggestion.

Actually yes. Not saying its the best route, but when I lived that way its the drive I’d do every once in a while.

I’ve never driven around in Michigan so I’m pretty stoked to see anything scenic.

Thanks. Someday I’ll get up there to wander. Hopefully soon.

TBH “up north” seems your style. A bit further but then you can do the woods and the Silver Lake sand dunes aren’t far away.

The dunes seem appealing except for the crowds. Need to figure out when I can go without the accompanying masses.
