Sounds like you talked 'someone' into coming with you & Kathy.....perhaps Jeanie?

Bruce just bought her a ticket...whether or not she goes remains to be seen.

We will be staying @ exit 121 on I-71 this year. Many of the hotels in the area are already booked up.

Make sure & order your infield parking pass with your race tickets. This will allow you to park in our infield parking corral for the weekend. I spoke with Connie @ Mid-Ohio, & we are on the list for our infield parking corral. We'll hopefully get the same location as last year. Look for the "XLR Club Parking" sign.

Tickets arrived

Our tickets arrived today. Looking forward to seeing some great racing again @ Mid-Ohio.

Marc is looking into a generator for "Camp Toffolo"

Racing is getting closer. Can't wait to get together again with everyone. My son is coming over with his buddies and bringing my DTS so we will have a grill for cooking also.

I got a call from Steven @ Mid-Ohio to confirm our infield parking corral for race weekend. He said our parking corral should be near where it was last year; if not the same location. Look for the XLR parking sign and "Camp Toffolo".

DON'T GET A GENERATOR - I have one, and I'd be happy to bring it!!!!

I just got my ticket - see you there!!

PS I'm about an hour north - I'm willing to house anyone who's on a budget! Just PM me!!

PPS Remember, there's a big fundraiser I go to for the Cleveland Zoo on the Friday night before the race, so I'll arrive in my usual state on Saturday (hung over!!)!

 

[HOMEGAMEROOM]

I can also bring a blender if needed! ;-)

BE SURE TO PURCHASE TICKETS BY AUGUST 3 or the prices go up!!!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all!!!!!!!!

 

[cubby558]

I hope you find us easier this year, instead of driving past two or three times.

It will be great to see you again. I wonder if our biker buddies will be there??

[HOMEGAMEROOM]

I think I might have scared them away for good.....

I don't know how I could have missed Camp Toffolo last year - I'll wear the not-so-dark sunglasses this year!

 

[Tiffany's Dad]

Your Generator and blender will be great Rich. Ill bring my small work fan for a cool breeze.

What a great weekend and next weekend should be even better!

Before I begin, Bruce and Kathy - Andy said hi and pray it doesn't rain. He also signed my ball cap.

I went to Autobahn Country Club Sunday morning, since I was in the area, to get some pics of the Cadillac Performance Driving Experience and see if I could get on the mailing list. Next thing I knew I was behind the wheel of a brand new CTS-V Coupe blasting down the back straight at 140MPH. WOW!

I've been to a lot of Cadillac Enthusiast events, but never had I seen so many V series cars in one place. Coupes Sedans and wagons were all present.

We basically had three classroom sessions and drove either the coupe or the sedan between classes, then finished up with the non-V Coupe drag racing and slamming it around on the skidpad.

O.K. enough of the past. While I was there I got a chance to talk to Andy Pilgrim about driving the new car and what he thought about the upcoming race at Mid-Ohio. (I'll tell you what he said when I see everyone in person).

The good news is the Cadillac publicity team heard me talking to Andy about the XLR Corral at Mid-Ohio and offered those who haven't paid yet Cadillac Corral passes for the weekend. I told them most of us ordered our ticket/passes way in advance. So they have also invited us to lunch on Saturday in their VIP Tent, a short presentation geared for the GM employees, and then a private tour of the Cadillac Racing Team Paddoc. The two Cadillac reps putting this together for us are Len and Dana. I will be contacting them early Saturday to finalize the details, but how many of you would be interested??

 

[Tiffany's Dad]

Great job Giz. Nice pics. Sounds like you have us all set for the coming weekend. My group will for sure be interested. I will have 4 possibly 5. Thanks for the heads up. see you guys at the end of the week.

 

[Cadillac Tech]

Sounds like fun! We would be interested (4). Thanks for setting this up for the group. It will be a GREAT weekend of racing.

Hi Giz
David just got back from Florida late last nite. We will be heading to Ohio on Friday, so we'd love to join the group for lunch on Saturday.
Hangin out with the Caddy folks - yeah, after they see us, they'll be sorry they ever broke up with us - cause we look as good as we ever did.
Oh, wait... I might have been thinking of something else

[Tiffany's Dad]

[cubby558]

Supa & I are in for the Saturday lunch as well. Looking forward to seeing the Caddys run well!!

 

[onalaska]

Gizmo, that looks like the same Cadillac Preformance Driving Experience program that I signed up for October in Atlanta. Sounds like it's going to be fun. Wish I was closer so we could attend. Y'all have fun!
