AF DSM Meet 2008 - North

[gthompson97]

There's gotta be a somewhat excluded campground around the cities, its in MN for christ sake! Half of the state is nothing but trees and swamps.

Beer pong!!!Fuck yeah!!! The middle of the woods sounds fun.

Im In, keep us posted, my RS should be done early spring.

If you want a secluded campground, theres a really nice one in cannon falls, you can even get secluded sites if you want, and they have nice sized parking lots. And plus the security there is crooked..... me and a bunch of friends rented two sites, and filled a tent with tons of booze and....yea, and this cop showed up out of nowhere and saw everything and just asked us how we were doing and ditched, it was awesome....we were so wasted, half the people never noticed the cop was there, lol! GREAT TIMES!

Thats what we need. A nice place to party and talk about our passion and not be frowned upon. Lol. Im sure there is more than one place we could do this at. Ill look around. Im sure there is something in Brainerd. Crow Wing Lake has like 10 camp grounds on it. (About 8 miles out of downtown, and about 5 from the track.)

For anyone that wanted to know some more info on BIR here ya go. I know nothing about the other track near Minneapolis.

sorry to lazy to read the whole thread. but I am for sure going to a AF DSM meet this year even if I have to go alone :-)

Here is my idea: Are you guys set on BIR? I know LSE performance would love to have us. (which could be the meeting place) we can Dyno and grill there. There are quite a few hotels in the area (one 2 miles away infact). Otherwise I know a great camp ground we could hit up that is about 40 min from there...I thought the 40 min would suck...but I think a 40 min cruise with 20+ DSMS would be pretty bad ass not to mention it is mostly freeway so we don't have to worry about getting split up.

thoughts?

[Thor06]

I'd much rather go to DB.

[blk_srt]

Would you guys mind having a neon around?

[david-b]

Any updates on this one? Did we find a set location? Dates? Anything yet? The South meet (although coming up already) is a little more set in stone that the North meet here. Lets get going.

[rickyrickster25]

Is there any new info on the north meet yet?

[Thor06]

Hey all. So those southern tools are about ready to meet up, we need to get our shit together!

This year we are for sure going to have to get it together. I think last year we started planning too hardcore too soon... but its almost April and we should start getting shit together for it.

We have the same laundry list of questions to answer: where do we stay, what do we do, when do we do it, etc. Here's what I would like from anyone planning to come:

Name: Real or nick name
Car: Year, Make, Model, Trim
Coming From: City or general region
Preferred Time: General time (i.e. middle of June or any time but end of July) and what days work or dont work
Preferred Activities: What things you do want to do or dont want to do
Preferred Place To Stay: Camping or hotel
Preferred Length of Meet: One day, two days, or three days

I think that we for sure gotta wait until the summer sets in to do it, that way people are out of school and have some money in their pockets from summer jobs, time to get some last minute stuff for their setups, and it'll get to be warm enough to sleep outside should we so choose to do so. A preferred general time is good to know, also whether you can get off work during the week or weekends or if there is any days you absolutely cant do it.

As for activities, the sky is the limit. Obviously, a trip to the track is one possibility, as is a dyno day. Otherwise there is Mall of America, Hooters, cruising, etc.

But yeah, if everyone that might want to come would post up, that would be great. I'll try to get some useful info on things to do, and I'll post up when I do.

Where abouts are we gonna have it then? I wanna know how long of a drive it would be for someone like me... Plus I don't know yet if my Talon will be good enough for a road trip of extremely far. lol

I'm excited because I think I'm the only person going to BOTH of them! Go Dave! I'm excited for the South meet and the North will have to do a good job to beat their asses.
