Who: All you guys (or gals)

What: There is a road rally with some very historic and expensive machinery taking place. Last year included a '65 Shelby GT350R, a '66 427 Cobra (the real deal!), '30something Bugatti Type 35, a 2002 Turbo, Ferrari 250 GTO, an '87 M6, and a plethora of Alfa Romeos and Porsches. The rally is sponsored by the PCA and AROC (Alfa club of WI and IL). There is a plan for a bimmer cruise in the country roads around New Glarus afterwards. There are over 6 hours of awesome roads around New Glarus. I don't plan on a 6 hour drive, just letting you know there are plenty of great roads! :buttrock

Unfortunately we cannot participate, as this event is by invitation only. But, if you feel the need, you can stand right next to the '66 Cobra 427 as it launches off the starting grid for its run. This is probably the one event this year where you can see all this nice machinery up close. Bring your digital cameras. We will probably go out to eat somewhere afterwards. The group can decide... majority rules.

Where: New Glarus, WI

When: Saturday, May 5th... We will be meeting in the Cub Foods parking lot on Verona Rd approximately 7:30 a.m. Once everyone shows up or 7:50 rolls around, we'll split down to New Glarus. The event runs from about 8:30 to about noon. Most cars get about 2-3 runs in.

Why: Because... you should. I'm going with or without you guys. And because it's better than sitting in front of the computer in your skivvies. You know you do. :alright

On the night before, I can drive down to New Glarus, and take pictures of all the machinery so you guys can see what's up. Let me know by PM, or call me if you'd like 608-827-5870.

Here is the map of the course, and the general layout of the thing... Spectating is all around the starting grid.

edit: I would like to remind everyone that the roads we will be driving after the event are public roads, and many go past peoples driveways. I am personally going to be enjoying the corners for all they're worth, but I'm also going to be respecting the fact that people live on these roads. There is also a good potential for bikers and joggers.

I was curious about how long of a drive you guys would want after the event? I can make a 1/2/3 hour route if you guys want. Once I get an idea of how long you guys want to drive, I'll make a route. It is entirely possible to make a 3 hour drive and not use the same road twice and never get 20 miles outside New Glarus. :D I am imagining that the route will go through Stewart Park and the Mount Horeb area in the end.

Where do you guys want to eat after the event? My vote goes for Red Robin... oh yeah (Sarah) (<- my fiance :D)

I requested off for that day. I am interested in driving up. I will post up tonight if I am off.

Sounds like a good time; contingent on work schedule.

what is that a 4 mile course???

Got the work schedule. I am in.

If anyone in the Milwaukee area is interested in driving to Madison together (convoy/caravan whatever) let me know, and I will get the details FOR THE CONVOY/CARAVAN out Thursday, May 3rd.

I'd say that course is probably about 3 miles or so.

Sachin, thanks for helping me out as far as promoting this goes... you've obviously done this more than once. :D

Jason, reschedule.. lets go

If I don't end up doing the Glacier Trails TSD Rally (http://www.w-a-g.org/) I'll go.

damn im pissed, i already had plans to go to a brewers game that day.... o well

Jason, reschedule.. lets go

I'll see what I can do. Maybe I can push the plans back to Saturday night.

I'll see what I can do. Maybe I can push the plans back to Saturday night.

alright let me know... we can ride in my new/old E30 if you want:)

Im going for sure and Ive got a friend with an EVO9 coming with me i belive

im in for sure.. Sachin where are the milwaukee people meeting for the drive?

im in for sure.. Sachin where are the milwaukee people meeting for the drive?

I have not made any plans per se. I can send out an email tonight and see what response I get. Usually we meet up over at Goerkes (Park N Ride, Bluemound and Barker Road) 94W is right there.

IDK how convenient that is for everyone else though.

Guys I would totally go but I have to work that day unfortunately, so I won't be able to make it.

I gotta say though it was cool to have slowman stop by my work and say hey. I do apologize though for not being more friendly but I did get caught a little off guard haha.

I thought you were pretty friendly; although I can imagine I'm not the friendliest person at work... :stickoutt
You were probably wondering, "Who is that douchebag that is just standing there and not looking at any batteries?" :D

Heh, the milwaukee people will be getting up early if they want to see the whole event. If you want to meet with the Madison people in the Cub Foods parking lot at 8 a.m., the address for that is...

Cub Foods
4716 Verona Road
Madison , WI, 52711

Mapquest!

And I guess the closest address for the event itself would be...

Roy's Market
600 Hwy 69
New Glarus, WI, 53574

I intend on parking in this grocery store parking lot, which is the closest parking lot to the event. In my past experience, this lot fills up around 9, hence the emphasis on getting there early.

Anybody can give me a call at 608-827-5870.

Just for refrence lets get a List of people attending
1 Robbertcole-BMW
2 My friend Rich- Evo9
3 Slowman-BMW

shit, my car is leaving on that day. otherwise, I'd go. I should have a shiny nice euro E28 for next time though....:)

^^^Sweet, you're going! I remember you very well, my girlfriend only remembers you by your car and the fact that you almost ran that lady down in that rustbucket trailer trash Camaro that was on your side of the road at the park last year. :D (Which I felt was justified, just for the record)

But I really did like your car!! (Sarah)

:confused
I don't remember that.

I'm going

She was just on your side of the road, and you steered into her lane for a second to let her know that she was using up almost the whole road.

I'm glad we have as many people going as we do, this should be pretty sweet.

I'm in.

Quillbro and Murdoc - how do you guys get to Madison - would it be out of the way to meet at Brookfield Square and pick up 94W from there?

I usually shoot the backroads to HWY151 and take that to Madison. I can meet you guys at Brookfield Square or Gorke's though.

I'll go wherever. I can meet at gokes or whatever. But the backroads sound kinda fun:)

Murdoc or Sachin just PM me where your meeting up id like to drive together out there.

Just for the record, you Milwaukee folks are planning on being at the Cub Foods parking lot on Verona Road at 7:30 (ish)?

I posted somewhere above that states the closest address to the event, and the address of the Cub Foods lot.

Murdoc or Sachin just PM me where your meeting up id like to drive together out there.

Well backroads involve you driving up to West Bend first, then to Madison. Plus it's just 2 straight roads, not very exciting. Should we meet at Goerkes at like 6:30? :eyecrazy

Yeah that sounds good.

im really pumped your coming and bringing your car. I really like how it looks dude!


EVERYONE ELSE i SHOULD have the ASAs by then...but...i cant decide if they should be gold immediatly or not or not. hell i may even have the exahust buttoned up...my car has gone 180 since you guys have seen it.

I might be able to meet up with you guys for a while in the AM. I need to be in Baraboo at 11am to register for a TSD Rally, so I'll have some time in the AM to meet up and maybe just leave directly from New Glarus.

I was going to enter the m3 in the pre-Rally car show, but that sounds pretty boring compared with meeting up with everyone.

BTW - I'm meeting up with the new Madison Liaison for Badger Bimmers (Milwaukee chapter of BMW CCA) to discuss putting together some events for Madison members. If you have any suggestions or anything you'd like me to discuss please PM me TODAY. I'm meeting with him at 5:30pm. I'm going to try to co-liaison with him, if that's possible. We need to get some younger blood in the CCA!! :redspot

Slowman,
Is this an event where a DSLR camera might be useful? I can bring mine, but I will bring the sleek pocket camera if there isn't too much to shoot.

Heh, there will be plenty to shoot. Thankfully, this is an event where you can stand two feet away from the cars as they launch if that tickles your fancy. Basically what happens is the car starts off, goes about 100 feet, squeals around an uphill corner, and blasts off up a hill. People are allowed to photograph any area at any time during this sequence of events.

I don't have a DSLR camera, but I'm definately briging my little Sony Cybershot. :D

im so pumped.

IDK about CCA events - Looking at the Badger Bimmer page, there seem to be quite a few events, coupled with the weekly shows and cruises, etc that will start soon - the calendar is getting packed fast.

Are you looking for Madison area events?

BUMP!

Just a reminder: When: Saturday, May 5th... We will be meeting in the Cub Foods parking lot on Verona Rd approximately 7:30 a.m. Once everyone shows up or 7:50 rolls around, we'll split down to New Glarus. The event runs from about 8:30 to about noon. Most cars get about 2-3 runs in.

See you guys at 7:30am! Damn that's early for a Saturday...

I'll only be able to stick around for an hour at the New Glarus thing. If anyone wants to participate in a brisk TSD Rally (http://w-a-g.org/events/rallies/2007/2007-05-05/note1.htm)later in the day they are welcome to follow me up to Barabo.

New info!!!

If you plan on going tomorrow, we will meet at Cub Foods later, at around 8:30. I went down to the hotel where the people are staying, and got a calendar of events. Orientation runs are starting at 9:30, and timed runs are starting at 10. This is different from past years, but I'm glad I went to find a calendar of events...

I will still be at Cub Foods at 7:30 in case people don't get this message... but if you're reading this, it doesn't apply to you. :)

We will pick up some doughnuts for all you guys in the morning too. :)

Here is a teaser of some of the cars for tomorrow... The Maserati Bora is one I want to see in action! Sorry about the dark/blurry pictures, my camera sucks at night.

BUMP, I hope you guys read this.

You guys can call me this early, I am awake here at 6!

608-827-5870

That'll give me time to shower at least :) I may come out a little earlier than that though, just cause there's not a whole lot to do this early in the morning.

I'll be at Cub Foods at 7:30 though, and will probably be there for awhile to make sure we got everyone together. I would really like to be leaving for New Glarus around 8:30.

Don't bother calling me at this point; I won't be here to answer the phone. :p

Feel free to come on down to Cub Foods for doughnuts though, they are from the Greenbush bakery... I have found none better in Madison yet.

Rich and I left Olin and went and took a few shots here are the results.
