    2016 Michigan Cup June 24, 25, 26

    I've received a number of inquiries on this. Sorry guys. Been busy and out of town. I received a request for dates the week after the last Cup from the Elks lodge. I think they wanted to make sure we were in for another year.

    There will indeed be a Michigan Cup in 2016. Open water on June 23 and racing for 3 days. 3 rounds per class. Classes haven't been pinned down yet but you can expect the usual fair. The range will be from SV27 to some form of T go fast debauchery.

    So it will be at:
    The Rochester North Oakland Elks Lodge
    3100 Pond Road
    Leonard, MI 48367

    Let's see...... amenities:

    The lodge has real honest to goodness bathrooms. You can actually bring wives and kids without grossing them completely out. I listed this first because the prota crappers......just ew.

    There will be food available. Likely for purchase. If the budget allows and attendance is good the club tries to pick up a lunch or two. No guarantees on that. It would be rare for us to not pick up something for us.

    After hours there is a huge deck and a complete Elks lodge available for fun and games. Pool table. Darts. Ping pong. Full bar (again, after hours).

    There are a handful of camp sites available that have water hookup and electricity. Last year they wanted $10 per night to hook up but I totally failed to inform anyone of that. Sorry guys. I'm sure they'll be looking for the same donation. If you're interested in staying on site let me know as we'll need to plan accordingly. I'm close enough to commute but still enjoy staying on site. I hall in my 30' trailer. Usually end up with a half dozen boat morons in my trailer.

    Others can surely point you to the best hotel options as they have tried many of them.

    I don't think I'm going out on a limb saying this event is one of the premier FE events of the season. The competition is great but more importantly the camaraderie is absolutely top shelf. Very few have had a bad time at the cup.

    We'll up date you here as more becomes available.

    Hope to see you all at the races this summer.

            My family and I are all in for another great family weekend at the event.
            Look forward to seeing everyone and having some more fun.
            Hopefully we can even get into Canada this time to extend the family vacation.

              I'll make arrangements with Canada Customs to approve you this year.

              Last year you pissed me off so I made sure you couldn't get in

                Thought that might be the reason.......lol
                We should be all set and 100% of everything we need to
                cross the border is now complete. Although they certainly loved searching
                the boat trailer last year 4 times
                Maybe I should have never dropped your name to them....

                  It might have had something to do with Ken trying to cross the border with a 105 pound trophy in the passenger seat. hahaha
