I'd like to know what everyone thinks. My dad would have to be in the leed car because hes the GM employee. We will determine where to meet depending on the number of people interested in this. We will also determine what time to show up once we determine the number of individuals.

 

Sounds like a blast but unfortunately no can do. Hope you have fun!

 

Oh man, you know I'd love to go to that, but unfortunately that's the same weekend as my best friends 21st, so I'll be in Grand Rapids for the weekend.....

 

I have to say maybe for right now. Will have to wait and see if I am still employed in a couple of weeks or not, plus depends on school.

 

IT should be awesome.

 

What time are you planning on meeting there? I mean, if it isn't too early there is a chance... Not sure how long it takes to get there from GR, but it's a straight shot (somewhat) from 96. I'll probably be up late that night....but I'd REALLY like to go.....

 

I am thinking we can meet 11 ish somewhere in howell or brighton and then we can head to the grounds.

 

Sounds fun... but I will be in the middle of nowhere up north that weekend.

We could meet at great escape in howell again and then go from there.. Its about 30 mins from there to the proving grounds but we can take you in the back way.

 

Dang.... 11 is awfully early. It's only a 2 hour drive though from Allendale to Howell....

It's going to be hard to say. I think I would like to plan on doing it. I might be tired, and may need a 5 hour energy, but I would REALLY like to go see the proving grounds. I go by there and always wonder what it's like inside!
