I was at the N. Grandview location right by the Interstate!



I'll be staying right next door at the Waukesha Best Western Grand Hotel...




The restaurant next door to the Batteries Plus store, called Spring City was the only sane place I could walk to from the damn hotel, but the food was pretty damn good and they miraculously had FREE-WIFI.

I thought this place a block away was pretty cool, even though I'm not much into German food...



I should have plenty of stories to tell when I get there if you'd like to meet up, since I'll be flying the very following day from the Meet I'm hosting here in Florida...

I live only about 3-4 miles from there in downtown Pewaukee. Hit us up (I'll PM u my cell #) when you're back in town - we usually get the Evo group together one or two nights during the week.

Spring City is good (been a while since I've been there, though). I am also a big Denny's fan. Gasthaus is supposed to be really good, but I've never been. We are having our wedding reception at another restaurant owned by the same family - they have a handful of quality restaurants in the area.

The Gasthaus is owned by the bartolatta chain. Very good food but it's a bit pricey.

I was there last week.

If anyone wants to ride/caravan up to Ice Racing tomorrow, I'm thinking we could meet around 3PM either at my place or somewhere in the area. Let me know.

We have to keep an eye on the weather for tomorrow to see if the event will happen. Right now it's a go but that may change with the potential for 40deg and rain.

You can keep an eye on this thread - http://www.fvscc.com/forum/showthrea...=4298#post4298 - the call will be made no later than noon on whether the event will be run.

I'll also post in here as soon as I know, unless Andy posts first. He'll know before me.

Ice racing is ON for today!

It's on a lake so there's no real address. See this link for directions and info - http://www.fvscc.com/ice_racing.php

Basically same tech stuff as at an autocross. No loose items in the car no leaking, no play in wheels bearings, battery properly secured with the positive terminal covered. That's about it.

We might actually have to leave around 2:30 to make sure we find it and get registered. It's a bit further than I thought.
