Minneapolis MN Cars & Cafe, Saturday April 3rd. (Start of the 2010 season!)





Hey guys,

I know it's hard to beleive that this snow will be gone in a month, but with this warmer weather we are expected to have, I have no doubt that we will be able to launch our 2010 season in April like we have the last 2 years.

As some of you that have attended one of these events, it has grown from a small gathering at Caribou with 30-40 cars to a montly showing of 400+ cars inside the Motorplex on any given First Saturday.

In order to keep things organised, please try to arrive as early as possible (the event starts at 8am) so that you can get a parking spot. We have gotten to the point where we have to turn people away or ask them to park in spectator parking when they arrive after 9:30 because there is no room.

Please keep the burnouts and hard launches for the track (May 1st). We need to be respectful of the property and our host as well as the garage owners that allow us to have our event at their place.





Location:
The location is the Minneapolis AutoMotorplex located at:
1740 Motorplex Ct. Chanhassen MN

Please check out the Motorplex’s website for map and other details: AutoMotorPlex - MPLS
For people traveling east of 494 we would encourage you to take the Crosstown (62) extension (HWY 5) the where it becomes 212, exit on Powers Blvd (Which is 1 exit past 101) go right, drive approx 500 ft and turn left on Lyman (at the light) travel approximately 1 mile, turn right on Audubon and we will be 1.1 mile on the left.

































Please mark your calendars with the following 2010 dates:



May 1st

June 5th

July 3rd

August 7th

September 4th

October 2nd

November 5th

There are two things I'm really looking forward to in the next month:

1) F1 season starting

2) Cars & Cafe

I can't wait!

I'll be in Monterey for the Historics and a little bit before and after it, I'll probably be up sometime around then.


I definitely want to go, Just have to figure out which date will be the best.
