It all started Friday night at the Jackson Michigan cruse. The weather started off a little rough around 4PM with a
down pour of rain, but by 5 the sun was back out and the cars started showing up. We had 18 Fiero, here are some pics.

Road rally was on Saturday, it was to Hell (Michigan) and back. All had a good time driving the back twisted roads
of Michigan. It started off with breakfast at Bob Evans and then off for the road rally. Was 87 miles of road and
took just under 3 hours. We had a BBQ at Bob Holtz with awards for handed out for the rally winners and door
prizes to all that participated.

What are you doing in Michigan Frank?

Everyday is a Saturday.

I am speaking for Frank (he is sitting next to me here in Michigan). Good show, down right excellent road rally
and motoring around Michigan International Speedway at over 100 MPHs. Hey Archie, I am sending Frank your way,
take good care of him.

I was wondering that too...but then thought "Would I rather be in the Florida heat, or hanging out with Capital City Fieros?"

Nice pics everyone (well except for the goofy-looking bald guy next to the silver/white Formula!).

Kudos to Bob Holtz for all the effort to make this an exceptionally enjoyable weekend. The "Road Rally to Hell and Back" was a great drive on some really pretty and winding roads that were fun even at the legal speed limit. And the cookout food was yummy.

Even though the forecast for the weekend weather was ominous, the weather was durn near perfect for the scheduled events - it only rained hard Saturday for just a little bit - but it was during Happy Hour!

Many thanks also to those who came to visit from out of state, we were all so happy you came to play with us and hope you come back next year and bring your friends.

And ..............The MIS event may have a pretty neat Fiero-friendly "twist" to it next year!

Thanks to Bob and to OleJoeDad for the great planning for this event. It was awesome. Both Carol and I had a great time during all three days. The car show on Friday was fun and just a little too hot for me and maybe for Frank. The road rally was great and I hope Pete had a good time riding with me. On Sunday we got a chance again to take a run around the MIS track and get a little legal speed on. We were a little tighter together this year so I did not push it as hard on the back stretch, but still got to extend the MPH barrier a little. I didn't want to do anything crazy and get us in trouble with the officials, so I kept my gas pedal foot loose instead of completely pushed to the floor board. One thing I did notice is that since last year I changed my final drive ratio from 2.93:1 to 3.29:1 and it really makes a difference in how fast the speed climbs over 100 mph.

For those of you that missed this opportunity this year, plan on coming next year. It will be something fun again.

After dinner on Saturday the gang when over to Cascades Falls. Enjoyed good ice cream
and then watched the lights on the man made falls in Jackson.

Thanks Mark for letting me ride with you sat. and Rob for the chance to drive on the speedway. Overall top notch AAAA+++++ event!!!!!!!! If you dont make it there next year you will miss out on a true Fiero event.

Captain Dean is puzzled why his old valve stem took a dump.

Damn Pete. Now I see why you went to Grosse Point.

PM me your email address I'll forward some pictures from the weekend. Maybe we will see you at Watkins Glen next year!

We had a great time. Many thanks to Bob Holtz and the group for their hospitality. We are looking forward to next years track event!

The entire weekend was a blast. I enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting new friends. This Fiero Club has organized some great events and I am looking forward to participating now as an actual Fiero "owner" instead of "riding along." Riding along is great fun with my hubby too though. Thought I'd better add that!

I am looking forward to more fun with Capitol City Fiero Club!!!!! Keep up the great organizing Mr. Holtz.
