Sounds good.  Meeting time?  Maybe meet up at 10 A.M. at Menard's?

We weren't thinking of getting to Route 65 Classics until around 10:30 a.m., so I think it's about 20 min. from Menard's to Route 65 Classics which would be good for us.

Anyone else want to meet at that time at Menard's as John suggested?

Since we'll be driving south to get to Route 65 Classics, we may just wait near 147th and see if we spot a group of Chevelles arriving around 10:30.

The originator and lead coordinator of C4T Russ Hanes and Jim Wooddruff from Tribute to the Troops were on KARE11's 4pm newscast today. They used some pictures from last year's event plus some pictures that I took from Automania last year.

So who is meeting up at Menard's?

We will be there a little before 10.

Looks like a great day tomorrow, and they said on the KARE11 video Bryan posted there will be triple last year, so that means 1200 participants! 

AWESOME day today driving to the cruise, in the cruise, the car show, and the drive home!  It was great seeing a number of members and their better halfs, and seeing Bob's '70 LS6 SS project on the road and being driven!

Bryan was his usual upbeat self and heavily engaged in this cause.  His reading of the deceased Minnesotan military members names was very moving.  I don't have any military family members, but it made me proud to be an American and really appreciate the sacrifice others have made.  I saw this saying a lot today, and it was even more meaningful after being a part of the cruise; 'All gave some... but some gave All'.

I'll be curious for Bryan to post how many were in the cruise, but it was a huge line of cars and bikes that had to be in the mid hundreds.  It was well run on the highway side of it with law enforcement on each turn or major intersection, and other than more direction needed parking cars before and after the cruise, everything seemed to go off without any major issues.

Here's a few pics I took:

Really had a blast! My friend and I talked the whole way back to Duluth about how great of a time we had, and remember those who have served and are serving. Although I must ask, my awesome day, turned to some sadness when I stopped to fill up at the gas station on the way home. For just me to cruise out there, the cruise, and then back to the same gas station, I got 6mpg!!! Should I be concerned? I mean, we had the motto of "every stop sign is a sign to go" and we held true, so we weren't easy on her, but still 6mpg!!! 

Agreed on the parking, we waited in line for a while, but nothing at all to take away from the show! Definitely added to the list of must shows!

 Not to insult your intelligence, Steven, but at 6mpg, that engine would be so rich, it would die at every stop sign. Did you fumble the division or get a decimal place wrong .... If not, you do have something amiss. Was it going into overdrive ?

 Mitch, she does smell pretty rich, I got the carb used, and haven't rebuilt it yet, just slapped her on and ran. When you gun it, she does stumble just a touch and then runs like there is no tomorrow! We went close to 90miles / 14.5 gallons = 6.2mpg. Was going into overdrive just fine. Everything ran great. Good hard launches. Just crappy mpg.
