Dave and I have been talking about the spring meet. We want it to be bigger than our first meet of the year last year at hooters where we had 14 cars show. So we are going to start early so everyone can plan on it. Here is Dave's post from Tech

Steve and I have been mulling over a big meet for quite a while now, so we've decided to start an official thread to lay down some plans. We figured that if we plan this months in advance, people in the area can suggest places to meet, things to do, and plan their day on the calendar so they aren't surprised when the day comes.

I've been doing a lot of driving lately around the Twin Cities area, and every time I'm out I look for ideas and locations to bring our cars together. There are so many places to hang out at, so many scenic roads to drive, and just tons of businesses that would be happy to have us there.

One idea is to meet up at a rally point early on a Saturday, drive around some country roads for a few hours, then end up at Steve's house for a massive BBQ or grill party. Or we could take it into the cities and make stops at the major hot spots and cool parks to have a picnic there.

I know we had planned something in Hudson, WI last summer. Unfortunately, people were busy and couldn't make up their minds on when and what. So now we're going to start making some definite plans and stick to an event. I'm sure there'll be some kind of auto event in the spring. Maybe we can do a weekend thing at Brainerd.

Let's hear some ideas and suggestions. I'm thinking we should plan this big outing for late April or early May, depending on the weather and road conditions. Probably the biggest obstacle is that we need to pick a place and plan the event, then we can worry about the timing.

 

I'm down.

 

Sounds good man, may would work better for me im sure i'll have my car out and everything ready to go by then.

 

Steve, this sounds good. Hopefully it won't be raining and be completely shitty out.

 

I'm definitely in it. Got some ideas for an early morning meet before caravaning out to Rockfalls for a full morning of drag racing, then we can drive north a little bit to Leine Lodge for a beer tour.

 

I'm in!

 

I'm there weather permitting..

 

Me to i'll be there if weather is nice and i got my car already to go.

 

I'm in as well. Can't wait to get the Z out...so looking forward to it!!

FYI- There is a more up to date post regarding this meetup on the MNNissan forum.

im down for a brainerd trip, take some back roads and enjoy the scenery on the way there. just let us know the date so i can take it off work.

i forgot what night it is, but isn't there some kind of "import night" deal at Brainerd? everybody can run the 1/4 and show their cars off? could have sworn its every wed. night in the spring and summer.

 

any updates?

 

It looks like most of the updates are being added to the MNNissan Forum site. Here's the link. http://www.mnnissan.net/viewtopic.php?t=133

There are quite a few people interested in a Winona cruise on April 26th.

 

sweet, thanks for the link... can somebody please keep me updated so i can take the day off? thanks guys!

 

I would be down for whatever just keep us posted! FYI i know a great place to also drive is hwy 60 and 61 through zumbrota we used to take that on our bikes alot. Lots of newly paved, even surface with no sand or gravel, wooded windy banked roads with open fields to just lay it down for those that dont obey the law. Never have seen police out there its a wonderful experience

 

It looks like everything is set for a Winona cruise on April 26th.

I would suggest cottage grove or hastings as better meeting points than woodbury. Woodbury is fine, but CG and hastings are right on 61
