Very interesting.info.

I cant believe I spent the 1st 20 years of my 50 year life in this area and Grand Haven and than moved down to sleepy Naples Fl all to miss some of the best Hotrod craziness you could ever witness.

I guess I missed the Big Bang. Not much happening around here other than some big diesel blue Noretec flying a Canadian flag running south all the time

Here are a few vids that sum it up.

Plus a week of hanging out with like minded individuals.

You 2 heading up next week?

Is there adequate parking at Bowers Park ? Or is it best to launch at oxbow?

I guess it depends on what you mean by "adequate". There is a lot of parking there, but it always seems to be "the place" so it's also the busiest. I personally don't like that launch..it's relatively short and steep (good for big boats) and the lagoon is weedy - I've filled my strainer twice there. Oxbow is nice and my favorite launch is straight across the river from Oxbow at Sandy Beach State Park…nice launch, no beach..go figure..The launch at the Dam is OK as well. If they haven't changed you can have pizza delivered from the HillTop gas station / party store to the Dam. A few miles south of the Dam the's a Restaurant called The Red Anchor Inn which has great food & the waitresses are easy on the eyes. Just a bit south of that is a bar called the driftwood which is a typical bar with bar food. Upriver at RiverRidge you can get food and fuel. I was there the other day and they are advertising "pure premium 90" which I'm guessing means no alcohol. Watch for stuff in the water if it rains all week.

I was planning on going, but I may not make it.. Thank you Comp for the quality timing belt. Not Comp's fault I bought it.. Anyway I have a cabin rented for 4 days, and a spare lot, if someone is interested in either, shoot me a pm.
Meanwhile I will be wrenching... :(
