What time are you planning on meeting there? I mean, if it isn't too early there is a chance... Not sure how long it takes to get there from GR, but it's a straight shot (somewhat) from 96. I'll probably be up late that night....but I'd REALLY like to go.....

Dang.... 11 is awfully early. It's only a 2 hour drive though from Allendale to Howell....
It's going to be hard to say. I think I would like to plan on doing it. I might be tired, and may need a 5 hour energy, but I would REALLY like to go see the proving grounds. I go by there and always wonder what it's like inside!
