I'll bring another manifold for the raffle. m50/s50 this year. BTW, I buy my bread from a distributor in NJ now. 18 at a time! Rudolph's Multigrain FTW!

Heh heh, I got about 6 loaves last time. Good bread from a great guy. Taking Guido's waffle mix over the border on the window ledge isnt recommended though

Can't wait trying not to do anything major that would cause me to not make it. I am making preparations in case. Big thanks in advance to the Tedfest team.

Wifey's 325ti would be fantastic with a turbo!

Check what rides Alijohnny and Cactus are considering or bring a thick wallet. They are VERY aggressive raffle ticket buyers. :D

While he keeps that in mind, I'd try to cut down on the copious amount of dust he ate from my turbo. Win-Win right?

I'm going to take a shot at being there also. Not sure yet which car I'm taking but it will have a turbo. Also I'm trying to recruit a few locals to make this as well.

\waiting for Sherman to chime in on his route plans/itinerary

Stopping in Kalamazoo overnight after 10 hours on road. Gonna do the last six hours Friday morning. Plan to be @ Ted's by 1300.

My cruise speed will be 75-78 mph.

Blunt convinced me... I'll be there with an LS1 e28. Will book the hotel in the next couple days. I am only 5 hours away and only 2 hours from the border. I would be down for a caravan if we can work it out.

For all of those coming from the west. If you cross at Port Huron instead of Detroit you will cut off 1 hour of travelling time in Ontario. My house is 3 hours from Port Huron along 402,401,403,QEW and then on into my driveway. Make sure you pick up beer at the Duty free shop before crossing into Canada. ;) Cheers. The Tedfest Team :beer:

Tricky getting into the duty free if you go the port Huron way. I wonder how many cases of beer I can fit in my boxes? Would it be cool if I just bungee'd them to the rear rack? What are the laws on visible beer containers on a motorcycle?

Visible boxes are asking for trouble, on the other hand, I don't think they can do anything if they're all sealed containers.

I'm sure any lack of beer on your part can be compensated for by the rest of us.
