Unfortunately I don't have a specific recommendation, I typically stay with family on my vists there.

If you would like to be very close to the downtown venue, there are only a few choices and they are probably a little more expensive. The good news is: Muskegon is not very big. As a general rule of thumb it takes 15 minutes to get anywhere. The greatest number of accomodations will probably be that far away.

That area is HUGE gear head territory, expect people to be coming from all over the west side and northern part of the state to involved in the event!

Something not to be missed for those of you going there is Pere Marquett Park. It is one of the top 10 inland lake beaches. It's a nice cruise from Down Town and there is lot going on down there in the summer.


I ended up booking the "Sline Inn".  Sounded like a cool place.

Yeah, I've been to Bloomfield, before.

Anyway, that'd be awesome to run together.



We will definatley make the run from Nashville to Indy then.  So what brought you to Bloomfield?

Sounds good. I'm looking forward to the drive, man. It'll make for a good test of the car after I get it back and a primer of the drive I plan to make to Carlisle, PA, in 2012.

Just looked at the map, it was Brownstown, IN, I went to. I always think Bloomfield, for some reason. Although, I have frequented Bloomfield, KY, a time or two-dozen.

I've reserved a room in Indy.  It's an easy day drive for me and it may give an opportunity for a few of to get together.  Maybe Gumby will be there for the day too.

That would be great.  I have gone the last 3 years but always alone (just me and a passenger).  It would be cool to have a fox body caravan.

I just hope I get the T-bird up to speed in time.  I may have to take the Mustang again.

Awesome.  Where are you staying?  I'm at a hotel on Rockville Road (I think a comfort Inn).

The good news is: the long awaited garage addition is finally under way!  My decades of suffering a pre-1925 garage should be over in a few months.  It won't be the garagemahal, but it will be a great improvement. 
Fantastic!!!

Come on Gumby!  Resistance is futile.  Detroit or bust!

Chris, once you see it unfold in Indy, it'll be pretty hard not to load up the car and head out!  It's pretty motivating and awe inspiring.

I planned to. See, the Fox cars punch a bigger hole in the air than the Superbirds, so I'll save a bunch of gas by drafting you guys :flip::rollin::punchballs:

I think it would be pretty awesome if we could get some decals or shirts or something to represent the site.

I am not much on stickers on my car, but I have been saving a corner of my passenger quarter glass for a FTBCF decal.
