This was my first time out at this event and it was a blast. Thanks Barry for organizing this.

I'm glad everybody had fun, safely, with no tickets or serious breakdowns.
I can't take all the credit for this, only some. Former Great Lakes Chapter President, Carsten Ramcke, suggested this event in 1998. While the route has changed some since then Carsten and I had a lot of fun driving and planning the course for the first run.
Carsten has been out of the SD scene for some years now, but pops up every once in a while. I heard from him just this last week. He can be found at his current endeavor Great Event Tours. His love for trains and model railroading preceded his love for Omni's and he is now fortunate to make his living from his favorite hobby.

Road Trips
We'd have been there , but our Fall cruise was scheduled the same day ....
Wish I still live in MI, I'd have been there!
For 2011 it is Saturday October 22nd. We will meet up starting about 10am but be there by 11am (rain or shine) in the Kohl's shopping center parking lot on Lee Rd, just behind the Wendy's. Get there in time to get your morning coffee or snack at McD's across the street.
Lee Rd is exit 58 off of US-23. It is the first exit south of I-96.
We will pass out maps and directions before leaving there about 11am or so. It is about a 2 hour drive through some of the hilliest and twistiest roads in SE Michigan, ending up at a McDonalds in Ypsilanti Mich.
Everyone is invited! And it is 100% free!

I was thinking about heading up for this, but I'll be at Nelson's Ledges road course.
Post up some picts when you guys get back!
Not directing this to anyone or group in particular.... but in past years at the end of the day, the club president has treated all on the tour to lunch
I'm just sayin' is all.
