Like I said I would rather have it on the latter dates. But I thought I would throw this out there. Elkhart lake/Road America. Has vintage races, and the rockerbox show 6-9/ 6-10.

Dan:

I would like to keep the aforementioned August weekends for the Midwest Rally.

Regarding the Road America Events that you mention:

I have been wanting to go to them for a long time. Since I moved to MN from OH a decade ago, I miss the Mid-Ohio course and its events.

I would suggest starting a topic in the - Join Me for a Ride! -  section, to gauge interest in others attendance for an event at Road America. I would be interested in one myself.

Thanks.

Just a thought for the 'shirt':



Which would imply I'm interested too!

John:

Thanks for the idea on the Rally shirt. We'll see what others thinks about it.

Sent you a PM too.

As of this writing, 909 views for this topic, but no responses or feedback on choices of lodgings, or much on the proposed dates. Trying to be democratic about this, and offer choices, but if there's a lack of feedback, I see two choices.

1. Just pick a date and place and run with it.

2. Delete the topic.

Anyone want to add anything about the above?

Thanks.

I'll make it to what ever is decided on. Might be the only rally I can get to. Don't really care where you stay. Depending on finances I might have to ride from home.
I would say just pick something and run with it.
But please do.
Thanks

After further investigation of the Don Q Inn I take back my early post. It has a good location. Restaurant on premises. Reasonable standard room rates. In door pool. Dells not to far away.
Could ride west to Mississippi river road and up to Lacrosse and back. Could ride around the Dells. I think the Don Q is a good base for headquarters Marty.

A pistol is like a parachute, if you need one and don't have one you will never need one again.

Sounds like a great idea, count me in. I like the August dates also.

Don't care about the dates or the lodging - it's close enough for me to make any weekend. I go with the "pick a date and run with it" option.

I have done a little bit of research and this is what I have come up with for ideas.

Recommended dates: 8/4-8/6

Either the Round Barn Lodge http://www.theroundbarnlodge.com/home.html or the Don Q Inn http://www.donqinn.net/rooms.asp My preference would be the Round Barn Lodge.

I looked at the Blue Highway Motorcycle Lodge http://www.bluehighwaymotorcyclelodge.net/ The downfall with this location is that there is only 5 cabins.

At the moment, IMO, this Rally will be in place of the Central Rally for 2017.

I like the idea, and if circumstances, time, and finances allow, I'll be there.

Not that I will. But maybe you might get lucky with one of the local ladies. Then you might be happy with the mirrors on the ceiling

Sounds to me like this IS the 2017 Central Rally!

Marty, I would say to just pick the dates, pick the location, and people will show up.

Be realistic. It's Wisconsin.

Meanin: he won't get lucky, or If he does he still won't want to use the mirrors on the ceiling? Or he won't need any extra cash.
