Don't forget Paul & Sharon! They'll teach you whippersnappers a lesson or two about imbibing.

Oh, and are you suggesting that anyone from here would need lessons on drinking?

There is the drive in right on the border of WI and MN Any way we go, It would be cool to do Twin Cities once, and Wilwaukee once. (I consider both home)

Racine, WI is an amazing place - plus your close to Chicago!

Well we could do it a couple ways.

Meet once some where near the WI/MN border and then have a meet In/Near Milwaukee.

We could also try to have a centralized meet? Stevens Point?

I'm up for either, as I travel to Milwaukee quite often, as my GF goes to school down there.


I know there are PCA autox as well as SCCA at Miller Park during the summer. There are also Auto-x in Eau Claire and Plover, WI (South of St. Point, basically "Central WI").


Also I've been to "ProKarting" in Burnsville, which is South of Cities, but the go karting there is AWESOME.

If anyone else has a suggestion, post it up!

I would suggest we also possibly do this along side the PCA club right here in the cities. There are some events that would be great suggestions:



http://www.nordstern.org/EventID.asp?EventID=578 Maplewood Autofair Maplewood Imports 5/3/09

http://www.nordstern.org/EventID.asp?EventID=581 All Porsche Show and Concours Central Park in Roseville, MN 6/28/09

There are other events as well that may be of interest. There is the once a month "Cars and Coffee" that happens every first Saturday of the month (5/2/09 is one of those events!) at http://www.automotorplex.com/ Minneapolis Motorplex which has an amazing amount of vehicles that show up.

Basically, as I type this out I realize that the first weekend of May would hold a lot of possibilities for us... Of course there are many more opportunities [/url]

Anyone know of a good pizza bar in Western WI?

Nothing like 7 or 8 cuts of pizza with 5 or 6 beers....

Wisconsin has been disqualified due to their professional status.

You know I try not to go into Racine unless I have to. I actually live in the village of Caledonia which is in Racine county (in the country) but no one has ever heard of it so I just say Racine.
