The drive-in seemed to go over really well back in Indianapolis; that would be a nice activity that included the cars as well as the people...

[cougirllp]

Good idea. The rally starts at 12pm and ends up at a restaurant, so that will probably go until like 3pm with driving and eating.

[KurtsKougar]

drive in for sure... that was a lot of fun.. prolly my favorite cougarfest activity that was ever done..
but we played around with the croud a lot.. and the ppl that worked there.. dont know if every drive in is like that.

Adventure sport sounds fun... who doesnt love getting thrown out for agressive racing on the go karts :D

free chocolate is always a good idea too

Harley Davidson plant tour!!! Did the plant close or is it still open for tours?

We might be in for that! Link.

we're leaving for the rally at noon? dang you kids sleep in late. lol
based on your 3pm estimate, I think that might limit some of the activites you have listed, depending on how late certain establishments stay open.

drive-in is an afterdark activity, so that would probably make the most sense. Like BENNETT said, good way to do something as a group and incorporate the cars, and better than 3 straight nights of parkinglot drinking.
I love that as much as anyone else, but I'd also prefer to have a bit more variety in this event.

Strip club doesn't seem like it's a good option as an "official" CF group activity. More of a recreational thing that people can decide to do on their own.
(again, don't get me wrong about clubs because you've seen me in action in '04)

[cougirllp]

Yes, the Harley Davidson is still open! That could actually be before the rally since it's only weekdays from 9am - 2pm. How about a 9:30am tour. It would be about 11:30am when you get back, so if I kept the rally at 12pm, people can do both.

Since the rally ends up at a restaurant, I figured around lunchtime would be a good time to get there. I don't think they open any earlier than 11am.

As for the strip club...I just copied and pasted the proposal pretty much, so it's not like I really thought it out

You should go check that out Mandy!

[cougirllp]

Yeah..I don't think so

I don't want to plan to much so I think we will just leave Friday afternoon/evening open until the drive-in. People can get groups together or do things by themselves.
