Lake Michigan Poker Run
Well the Midwest Motor Club is at it again! looking for drivers to attend the next Drive.
Well due to popular demand we will be doing the Lake Michigan drive again on June 27th, 2009. The first one was a hit and the guys had a blast so they want to do it again. Like to see even more of you guys. I think this time i will be getting better footage. possibly getting a film crew for some of our events as well.

we will meet at leggs inn at1130 am at the end of tunnel of trees then do the route in reverse.
more details can be found on my site. http://www.midwestmotorclub.com/?p=52

the distance is well worth the drive to be had! I have people coming from Chicago so Detroit area isn't any farther...
get your butts up here and drive! No excuses! the pace??? uhmm just keep up

I have run with the Michigan Ferrari Owner's Club and I found their pace to be just fine. The cars were well within their limits, everyone respected each other by keeping a safe gap between cars and no one crossed the double yellow lines. We even lined up the cars according to their performance levels. (So a slower car wouldn't hold up a faster car.)
I took out a group from the RX-8 club and honestly they wouldn't keep up. I had to keep pulling over and waiting for them to catch up.
I've also been with groups that want to blister the road with no regard to safety. Squealing tires, fish tailing, tailgating, crossing the lines and generally pushing the car beyond its limits is a sure recipie for disaster. Basically they were frat rats driving a Beemer that Daddy bought and will fix after it's broken.
Before I commit to a nice event like this, I think I'd like to try out a local event first. Just to get a feel for the group and driving style. With the cars I've seen so far, I'm sure there's no concern. Keep us updated on future events.
Keeping up is not a problem. It's a valid question. When I take a group out, I'm careful to make sure no one is in danger or ends up with a handful of traffic violations. For example, I will do the Hell run at a spirited pace ... not all out racing speeds. (Over 100mph)

we are a group of guys that enjoy each other,love to meet new guys and see new cars. We obey the laws and just cruise I cant be held responsible if someone wants to go 100 150 mph and drift all over the place....they just wont be asked to come on next run.
I really want to see some z's at our events. Apology if i came off like an arshole
the sarcasm in my just keep up was not caught. so no more sarcasm joking tone...

Still, it looks like a blast. If you do a fall run, I might be joining up for that. It's a good time to see the colors change all along that route.
