REALLY wanted to go and see y'all, along with meet so many others that are still on my Sling of fame list... 😔 😭

Dust Off That Powder Blue Tuxedo ..... It's Homecoming Time

My lovely wife is a bit worried about me traveling alone on the trip down to Homecoming. Anyone headed down from around Minnesota (not Michigan SlingLow
) or Iowa or Wi. I plan to leave on Tuesday the 18th but can really leave anytime. I am not worried but trying to put the wife at ease. If not it is not the end of the world. -
Minnesota (not Michigan SlingLow
Oops, my bad! MI not MN or MA or MD or ME or MN or MS or MO or MT. I'm a little envious you're bringing your Sling and hope you find a riding buddy. I understand the wife's concern. I get the same thing when I head out solo during hunting season but I do what I gotta do!
-
Now I understand why you were left unsupervised.
Doesn't bother me but try to put her at ease when I can. -

I don't think she would mind. especially if she didn't know.

Check your E-Mail for the new info on the Slingshot factory tours. Kind of looks like there will not be any free factory tours. 36 tickets for Friday @ $50 and 36 tickets for Sat. @ $25. I will not be going to this event.

Yup, I got that too...that was one of the big reasons I was driving the Sling 800 miles up there. Might not be able to hit that email date/time either as my daughter is in a competition in Atlanta that evening.
I wonder if the tours we previously booked will still happen with the abbreviated video version.
-
I was not going for no damn video tour.

Really?
We have worked real hard to make this an event for the owners and not for the profit of those putting on a show. The video/catwalk tours are what was made available by Polaris originally. We worked with them to provide what they could on the factory floor. This is a working facility that does not normally provide the public access we have been given for this event.
We put this event together as a no cost gathering for the owners and vendors.
Was hoping to meet up with everyone for a couple of days. Hope you will change your mind.

Hey! I have done the Corvette tour 3 different times with no problems such as this.
-
I think most folks will be there for Thursday..Any chance of setting up tours on Thursday also? Thx

i have a lot of respect for your inputs.
All I would like to say is:
Do you think the likes of Ross, Jim, or myself would ever do anything other than what is best for the community? That is all we are trying to do.
The money raised for the tours is going to the Pediatric Brain Tumor Trust Foundation. Not in our pockets like other events being put on.

I think some of the confusion is that there are two tours and the email was badly worded hopefully? You mention the free tour is catwalk and video tours. The catwalk part is probably what most people were expecting. The email sent out about the VIP tours mention only video, no mention of the catwalk part.
I appreciate what everyone is trying to accomplish from SOG and this is your first event, so there will be growing pains.
Also, the email didn't say anything about the money being for a non-profit foundation, that does put a different light on things.
Am I right in my understanding?
-
Yes you have it correct.
The catwalk/video tours are free and the VIP tours are for raising money.

[/quote]I am planning on sending in my reservation for the VIP tour the moment it opens up. I got to do the catwalk tour last March and want to see it up close.
Good to hear that the fee will go to our cause.
