                                                           65 Gran Sport Division Car Season Kickoff !

                                                                         Saturday, May 5, 2018


 This is a fun kick off to the car season, hoping many can join us. Rob is looking for a rough estimate / head count.     It does not have to be an exact number but it would be nice to know a rough estimate.   

  Rob and I corresponded and I am forwarding his invitation.

"  I think I am in good shape for set up.  I can get a couple of tables and some chairs and I also will have  burgers and Brats  as well as potato salad, beans and potato chips.  If anyone wants to bring a salad or some fruit or a dessert that would be great."



Location and time:

The address for Rob's shop is 5520 West Main St, Maple Plain Minnesota.   Maple Plain is a small outer suburb/town about 10 miles west of 494 on 394/hwy 12 (394 becomes highway 12).  Stay on 12 until you are in the town of maple plain.  There is a stoplight on the east end of town and a stoplight  on the west end of town.  Take a left (south) at the light on the west end of town.  This is Halgren.   Drive 150 yards over the bridge and take the first left. This is west main.  Drive 150 yards and the shop is on the left.

For those unfamiliar with the area, the Twin Cities have a interstate loop around them which is 694 to the North and East Side and 494 on the South and West side of the twin cites.   It's basically just a large circle around the whole metro. Hwy 12/394 is at the middle of the west section of the loop. Directions:

Coming from the north, on 94 you would exit onto 494 heading south at the suburb of maple grove and drive about 10 minutes to 394.  Exit to westbound 394 which immediately becomes highway 12.  follow directions above.

Coming from the south on 35 or 169 you would get off on 494.  west on 494.  Get off on 394 westbound (which immediately becomes highway 12) and follow directions above.

From the East take 94 through the cites.  At the west end of Minneapolis get on 394 westbound.   Once you cross under 494,  394 becomes highway 12 and you just follow the directions above.

Starting time will be 1:00 PM

How about an early head count for Rob's place

  Looking forward to seeing you all,

Loren,

Count me in. Always a good time - well at least when it doesn’t snow.

Loren,

I think you mean 2018 in the Subject.  Not sure if I'll make it considering the travel I'll be doing in June.

I would like to come down this year, but my employer might disown me for requesting more work schedule changes. Already have all my vacation time blocked out for later this year.

Besides, with the weather patterns happening around the TC area lately, there might be blizzard conditions!  :icon_biggrin:

Hi Kevin,

50s by next weekend, 60s last week in April.
Looks ok, I?m worried the ground is going to be pretty soft unless we get some sun.
