Saturday we're going to up WI and doing a cruise with some 150 cars (Vipers, Ford GT's, Vettes, Modena360, Mustangs, Porsches, etc.) I prefer some backroad racing through the twisties.

Its an afternoon cruise with a evening prime rib/chicken buffet at a restaurant. The entire parking lot will be roped off for the cruise cars only.

Im not gonna make this Keith. If I do go out its gonna be on Sat to run down some exotics with Peter! Besides, its fall and sunday is reserved only for football.

Pete, Im planning on making this, but Katie is giving me a little bit of a guilt trip. Its only a couple weeks until the baby is due, and she would be very upset if she went into labor while Im in Wisconsin... I agree with her, but this cruise sounds like mucho fun so we'll see.
