Visiting Minneapolis, can you...

[Buick Motorsports]

Minnesotans recommend any good speed shops to visit?

While I've got your attention, my wife and I are spending Christmas there, could you also recommend a nice restaurant for Christmas dinner?

I'm not much help, I'm a ways from there.... but if Randy or Matt don't chime in this thread, shoot them a message, they can definitely give you some ideas.

Thanks Scott.

My girlfriend is originally from Spring Lake Park, not too far from Minneapolis. I'll see if she can't come up with anything good for ya on the eating side of things.

I'm not much for the fine dining, as I just like to go someplace without a drive thru. There is a few nice places near the Mega Mall, which everyone seems to visit when they are here. Matt (SpeedyV10) might now of some classier places to eat.

As for speed shops, there isn't a whole lot of those, either. TNT Specialties in Blaine or Hi Tech Motorsports in Elk River might be cool to visit for a little bit. There is the Ellingson Car Musuem in Rogers that has some nice cars to look at, too. If you like the go kart thing, there is a few indoor kart tracks that have the fast karts.

Enjoy the stay and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the input Guys. Sorry to hear that there is no real speed shops. I was hoping to avoid the mail order houses and shipping across the border.

I have been to the Ellington Museum before, neat place to visit. Maybe I can drag the spouse along to see it.
