Hello everyone, I kind of mentioned this to the guys yesterday when I was doing the installs but I am going to green light the idea and wanted to have plenty of time to get a group together.

I am looking to host an end of summer meet/BBQ for Velosters and Veloster Turbos.

The plan is for this to be at Stony Creek MetroPark: https://plus.google.com/106090090108966724311/about?gl=us&hl=en

Stony Creek is located at 26 mile and Mound in Shelby Township, MI.

Just to give an idea on time lengths away for some of the regional areas.

Toronto, ON, Canadia -- about 3.5 hour trip.
Columbus, OH -- about 3.75 hour trip.
Chicago, IL -- about 4.5 hour trip.
Pittsburgh, PA -- about 4.75 hour trip.
Indianapolis, IN -- about 5 hours.
Buffalo, NY -- about 4 hours.
Milwaukee, WI -- about 6.25 hours.

There are tons of great picture spots around and I will be able to 'reserve' a pavilion early so we have our own area.

People can feel free to post ideas for things to do to make a day out of it. I was thinking of doing the BBQ, doing some pictures and then taking some sort of cruise.

Map Land lot


I will be posting this over at ***** and on a few Facebook groups also. Hoping to get a great showing!!

Donations and bringing things like chips, paper plates, cups, napkins, etc. will be optional. I will provide a metric ton of burgers, veggie burgers, dogs, brats, buns, condiments, drinks, etc.

I will try to get a few shirts, bunch of vinyls made and will also be doing a couple give-a-ways for 50$ credits and maybe more!

Looking to officially start the meet around noonish and go for a few hours at least before we do some photos/cruise.

Make sure to have a few bucks cash as their is a 2-3$ entry fee to the park!

Good stuff!!
To the locals/Turbosocks....

can you reccomend any good hotels? Somewhere betweeb the park (meet location) and a good mall, outlets etc (for the wife). Maybe someone's got connections at a hotel, if its nice and cheap it doesnt have to be close to our meet location. Wana plan this out cuz wife will go if I mention shopping lol. I havent had the VT out on any long cruise 90% city driving and averaging between very high 8 to mid 9 L/100km.

I just got back from a 700km drive up north and the sonata (non turbo) aaveraged 7.2l/100km average speed 120-130km/h lol Id like to belive that it is obtainable for the VT lol
Adoba (formerly Hyatt) Dearborn is killer and right next to Fairlane Town Center.
I would never recommend anyone stay in Dearborn!!

If you are wanting to do shopping and the meet but wanting to be inbetween, I would recommend staying somewhere in Rochester Hills, MI. I am not sure what is around that area though as far as places to stay. VeeTee is our Rochester connection, he may know.

Otherwise, there is the Marriott/Hyatt/Holiday Inn over at M-59 and M-53 (about 10-15 minutes from the meet and <30 minutes to Great Lakes Crossing [huge outlet mall] and <5 minutes from Lakeside Mall]) The wife will enjoy Great Lakes more than Lakeside for sure.

If you can stay in Rochester Hills, you will be about 15 minutes or so between both the meet and the outlet mall.
whats the "time lengths" for miami, florida?

lol
I would say about 24 hours, sleeping a few half way. Non-stop, well I have done Miami-NYC in 19 hours.
Rochester hills it is. Let me search for some hotels.
Turbosocks mention 2 hotels for me on veloster.org website: Turbosocks Performance End of Summer BBQ meet - Sept 21, 2013 Going to see if my friend can get me a good deal on hotel staying over night.
Those hotels were the utica ones (m-59 and m-53 area)

Rochester hills is a really nice area and has a really nice downtown strip to boot!
hmm I might think about looking into that area too
Any IKEAs near by?
Veloster let me know if u get any discounted hotels.
Any IKEAs near by?
