    I have a wonderfull wife, son and daughter that no doubt make up for my shortcomings, I hope to bring them all to marauderville X, Sept, 10 to 14 2012, see you there!

    Now I have to go to meet the one and only Kernie!!!!!

    Actually, that's exactly what I was thinking. We'd like to spend a couple days with family and friends in WI and then take the ferry over to Ludington. It's been 33 years since we've been on the ferry, we took the Badger over to lower Michigan on our honeymoon. I had a custom '77 Ford van at the time and was scared s**tless it was going to get dinged up parked in so tight with other vehicles, but no problems. Would really enjoy making that trip again.

    2012 may be the last year for the Badger as the EPA and everyone else is on them about the coal burning and where they dump the ash! They need millions to update the driveline. Ride her while you can. Ludington is about a 2.5 hour ride from South Haven. Longer if you stay along the lakeshore which is a great ride. Stop in all the towns and see the lighthouse in every port. We drive this a couple of times a year and it never gets old.

    Why Mike what makes you think an old drag race guy like me would even think about a road course! Gingerman is located in the tiny village of Lacota which is where I grew up. It used to be all apples where the track is at. So you will have to wait and find out later!

    ok--carry on--.....
    Thats not what I said....For me its the days, I can make the drive, dont care about the milage....heck even if it were a day ealier say Tuesday-Saturday, I wouldnt hesitate......as it is, we have a four person team and when someone goes on vacation we have 168 hours to fill each week, so when one person leaves no one get a day off until thier next regular day off after that person gets back. I really need to go, I feel this MV10 is going to be a huge event, so I will work something out and get there. I am commited to this. I am sure by then I will have enough cash to pay for the trip and if need be miss a couple of extra days of work with out worring about missing the pay.

    I just feel I need to be there. I prolly wont have the ol' lady with me as the kids will be in school.

    I'll git er done!! Count me in

    Here is a live feed to the camera at the Holland Pierheads. This is 20 miles north of South Haven. The waves are 12 foot plus today! Lets hope for better weather than this. Lake Michigan is not a place to take for granted. This feed is live all the time so enjoy!
