We're not sure, yet. We are still waiting for confirmation on a few things.

When you find out, be sure to let all of us know.

I'll be there! I've been down there the past 4 years now. The only unfortunate part is that the past two years I've been pretty hungover, as its a tradition to go down the Apple River the day before... But I'll be there!!

[CNDbowtie]

think there is any chance that GM will have a Corvette ZR-1 out on diplay this year? i know last year they had the camaro prototype on display

I plan on going with my son. Does anybody know if they still do the Dyno challenge I havent been there for.... hmmm I think 6yrs or longer (the year the tornado touched down in LaCross as we were parked in a culvert ditch watching it)

Hey Scott, I talked to Jeff Schwartz tonight, He's on a mad thrash (who isn't?) to get the Vette done. I am thinking of going with my 7 yr old son. We don't have any idea where to find a room. Needs a pool for the kid of course.

Let me know if you have a cheap hotel with a pool in mind. --- Joe

Yep, I'm sure the dyno will be up and running, it's in the same spot every year.

I don't know the area that well, I can't make any recommendations. Try PM'ing HAULNSS, Randy is closer to that area and might be able to give you some options to look in to.

Scott,
Where are you staying?

Sadly, there will be no Track Time Motorsports / Zaino booth this year. Todd won't be in Minnesota, and it didn't work out with the Zaino factory rep. I will still have some Zaino products with me as some guys have asked me to bring some through the MNZaino.com site. Stop by "Impala Row" and say "Hi".


Hotels:
There are some decent places if you stay north of the fairgrounds. Try to avoid any thing in St. Paul, as the suburbs are close and much cleaner. There are a few listed on the event info site, too. Just going off of the top of my head for places I'd recommend...

--About one mile north is a Country Suites (I think). It is right on Snelling Ave. and very close to the event. Probably the closest and most filled with car guys.

Country Inn and Suites
2905 Snelling Ave North
Roseville, MN 55113
651-628-3500

--A little further north near 694 and Lexington Ave. is a Hampton Inn and another hotel. These are about 7 miles away and close to a few places to eat and a Target store for shopping.

Found a link..
Hampton Inn North
1000 Gramsie Road
Shoreview, MN 55126
Toll Free 1-877-233-3194
www.hamptoninnshoreview.com
Only 7 miles north of the State Fair Grounds.

(Lat-G member 'comp-spec' stayed at the Hampton last year and said it worked out perfect. I think it was about $100 a night, too)


--If you look around Arden Hills or Shoreview, you should be alright. Some of the Impala guys from Illinois come up and stay at a place in Roseville with no issues. I think it may be a Days Inn or Country Inn off of County Road D?

For reference, the Fairgrounds are located at Como Ave. and Snelling Ave. There is a big shopping Mall at Snelling and Hwy 36 with all kinds of places to eat nearby.

There is also a lot of road construction in the area, just a heads up!

See everyone this weekend!

I know I never post on here, but I'm going to be there this weekend with a green '68 LS7 powered Camaro. My Dad and I drove the car up from Phoenix to go to the show. Plus, it made a nice break in cruise.

Anyway, if you see us, don't hesitate to say hi. Also, I'm really glad that Scott is going to have his '69 there, as I've been wanting to see it for a long time. See you all out there.

Randy, that's a bummer about the Zaino booth. I'm sure I'll see you with the Impala Club, though. Thanks for all the info on hotels in the area.

Sounds cool, Chris. What color is your '68?
