Hey Everyone, I thought I'd start a thread here on Ferrari Chat about the 2012 Spring Fling rally on May 5th up in Traverse City Michigan. I went on last years run with my friend in a C6 ZO6 and it was a blast. The roads in northern Michigan were surprisingly good, and the scenery was second to none. I plan on going again this year, and just wanted to see if anyone else on Ferrari Chat is interested in going. Shoot me a PM with your email and I will send you the official rally information email.
A bunch of us NSX guys need to plan a trip to the Traverse City area to visit Cody's new LoveFab shop anyway, the bad news is that personally that weekend won't work for us ;-( Brian
Spring Fling is the Ultimate of MidWest Automotive Rallies. Spring Fling 2012 will be held on May 5th 2012, and the event will cover 125 miles of the most scenic roads in Michigan, with multiple landmark stops. The Spring Fling route is exclusive, and will only be given to registered participants of the run. Spring Fling participants will receive luxurious accommodations for 2 at Park Place Inn, Dinner for 2 at Boone’s Long Lake restaurant,Spring Fling 2012 vinyl decals for the vehicles,2 Spring Fling 2012 T-shirts and admission to Pierce stocking State Park. Since the run is quickly approaching, responses are needed as quickly as possible to reserve the rooms. All participants must be registered before April 14th, 2012. This is a select group of people and hopefully everyone will be able to attend Spring Fling 2012! We will start out at 10:30am and end our fun event for Dinner at 5;30pm with appropriate stops for stretching,bathroom,food,sweets, and pictures. If you wish for further details I'll get them over to you.
I can't wait! This was a great event with a diverse yet pricey group of cars last year and I'm hoping that trend continues. My girlfriend loved it and admitted that of all the places and events, this was her favorite. Scenic, beautiful, twisty roads, low traffic, and some nice break points really made it enjoyable. Hopefully I'll see some of you on the drive!
I film LOTS of events as many of you know. If there are any shotgun seats available, I would love to document this event. Chris

We are having great success and our events get better with each one I have. This year we have Lamborghini,3GTR's various ///M cats and Porsche etc. A 458 or 430 scud is possible but we need ferrari owners to represent and show they actually drive the cars they love.
How'd u like pics? My events are getting better and better. Avg attendance is 30-35 cars. Last year traverse event had 66 cars
The wife just said, "sounds like fun", so if I can get the 360 Spider shipped up to MI in time I think we're in!
Looks great Justin! My wife is now working that weekend so we are out. I love TC, it is a great town.
I have a GoPro Hero 2 Motorsports Edition, a Panasonic HDC-TM900 (has an image stabilizer,) and a tripod. Here is a sample of what I've done: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8xmmqbGhqw[/ame] Chris
