TCG Tour 2015 in the books

[Yaj Yak]

did you guys go into sleeping bear dunes?

 

[EmersonHart13]

I didn't find that route too scenic or enjoyable to drive. It was more of a chore than anything. Plus we whizzed by the lake so fast we didn't have much time to soak it in.

What lake?

 

[PANDA]

I mean.. Its no Highway 1 in California

 

[EmersonHart13]

Looks like I pulled in about 21 mpg... Not that it matters at all.

So what you are saying is that the next tour is out in California up or down the entire highway 1? I am in. Mook, take my money.

 

[Mook]

I would love to that. Would be amazing. Never been to CA.

 

[SleeperLS]

Highway 1 is amazeballs.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yes, those are the vacations where I want to ship my car instead of getting a rental.

Rent a couple car haulers to take all our junk there and back?

 

[EmersonHart13]

I was thinking a cargo jet like the gumball head

I think we missed our opportunity for casual scenic cruising and twisty roads up in the UP, and I take the blame for that. Was really worried about time on the road that day. Balancing between being on the road and arriving at the hotel for dinner and parking lot shenanigans will need some fine tuning for future events.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Getting in at 9:30 definitely impacted that. I had a Jacuzzi tub in my room!

[DEEZUZ]

I like this.. I'd make my years salary off 3 trucks constantly puking out

Brian's bachelor party

Brian's bachelor party

This would have been a PERFECT bachelor party for Brian. Just no Americas Bar.

Would need equal number of 5th wheel trailers to get that task done. At the same time, would could do a diesel torture test article! Having just done that route... the mountains are no joke! The elevation and resulting inclines/declines would be tough on anything pulling multi-car trailers through there to get to/from CA!

PS - I call Alex as my mechanic!

honestly, you need to charge a nominal entry fee to participate.



it would do two things, you'd get a more accurate head count (people that pay, make the commitment with their $$ and not just lip service) and allow a slush fund for stickers, hand outs, photogs, etc.

Yep. That's what the Marauder forum does for their annual Marauderville event held in a different city for the past 13 years. A registration fee along with raffles of donated items goes to offset the cost of handouts, museum fees, track fees or what events maybe planned. They also secure a block of rooms with a discounted room rate too. So that always helps out members too.

I mentioned getting a group hotel rate in the chat, but I'm not sure what the minimum is to get one. We may not have had enough people this year.

Completely agreed!

A designated block of hotel rooms would be epic... Holy party time!

 

[SinisterSHO]

Need to have a deadline, too. And increase the price after that.

It is amazing what happens when the MAF is plugged in......
