There's 2 of us coming to the 20th from Calgary. 2 87 Burgandy/Grey GT's

We'll be taking the Trans-Canada to Moose Jaw, Sask (about 6.5 hours) then heading south.

- Hwy 2/52/281 through North Dakota to I-94 at Jamestown, ND
- I-94/39/90 towards Chicago
- I-294/80 to Gary, IN
- I-80/94 to Pontiac, MI

I'm not sure how hard we'll be pushing, but expect to be in Pontiac area Wednesday evening. Watch for us!

Looking at your route, It looks like you will be going thru Minot, ND. You may want to continue south on Highway 83 to Bismarck then head east on I-94. This will only add a few miles to your trip, but the roads are 100% better. PLUS IF YOU COME TO BISMARCK, you are more than welcome to take a break at my house. You can even stay the night! I would love to see your car too!!! I have a ton of fiero tools and parts if needed.

I orginally looked at your route a couple of months ago, and at that time I thought you were going to Winnepeg and south thru Grand Forks, ND and then Fargo. Your new route take you south earlier in your trip thru Minot.

I would love to have you at least stop and chat for a while.
Ross

Going thru Minot to Bismarck then Fargo, would give you divided highway all the way thru ND from Minot. Good roads too.

The original plan was to "pick up" other Fiero driver's on the way forming a caravan. It seems there's no Fiero club in Regina and area, and the 2 PFF'ers from Winnipeg won't be driving to Pontiac for the show.

Dave and I decided since it's just 2 of us, we'd take the fastest route down.

I'll probably head through Winnipeg on the way back - I used to live there (many years ago).

Thanks Guys...

I'm collecting a list: Name, City, Phone Number

We can then give you a call as we get into your area. We should be in Minot area Monday afternoon (probably take your suggested route to Bismark), Chicago on Tuesday afternoon, Pontiac area on Wednesday.

Later,
Tony

Yeah, I'm flying down there but I know Scott (fierce_gt) is driving down from Winnipeg. But you could probably meet him somewhere in Minnesota or something if you wanted to. If you want to drive down with him, just PM him and talk about it.
If you came through Winnipeg i'm sure WFOG could arrange a meet or something and even the people not going to the show could meet up with you guys on your way through. And I would still be there because I don't leave until Thursday morning

I'll have a Canadian Flag on my car's antenna...

This is not intended to insult our Amercian Friends...

It's just so my friends can find me more easily.

See you all at the 20th!! I'll be there all 4 days.

Tony

I'm assuming you'll be in the audio competition? I look forward to seeing your car and your system at the show.

Tony,
Sent you an email with my Chicago cell phone #. If I'm too late, and you're on the road, hopefully you'll call me on my Calgary cell phone (you have the #).
Cheers

We're here! A long haul! We had a couple slight detours because of a couple missed turns, but arrived Wednesday night in Pontiac area. Just checked into the Marriott. NICE!

Another 2 Fieros from Calgary area had arrived. One couple had emailed me earlier about the show, then changed their email address, so I lost track of them. They arrived with another friend of their's with a Fiero.

Voytek and Steve (Flashy) and wives may also yet arrive. I hadn't heard anything after they said they may go.

LOTS of cars here already, but we expect Saturday to be the biggest turnout. Guaranteed to be fun.
