Ken Koncelik has asked the DCO to cook up some driving events for his 2000 DeLorean Car Show in Cleveland. If you are like me and have a non-concours DeLorean, these events will give you an excellent reason to bring your daily-driver to Cleveland. My wife Patti and I are already working on it, and I guarantee that anyone who makes the Thursday night Flats Dinner Drive and / or the Friday morning Driving Tour & Rally will have a wonderful time. We have a very scenic course plotted that contains lots of good, free stuff. A tentative list appears below. By coincidence, the Places Rated Almanac just came out with its annual report, and Cleveland came in as the second best city to visit for recreation! New Orleans came in first place. For details, go to this URL: http://www.cleveland.com:80/news/pdnews/metro/3c09rec.ssf We will try to take best advantage of many of the amenities listed by the Almanac for our DeLorean enthusiast visitors next year. Many excellent places are already a part of Ken's Car Show (Rock Hall, Science Center, Crawford Auto Museum, Lake Cruise, etc.). Thursday night's Dinner Drive will show you Public Square and The Flats. Below is a tentative list of features for Friday Morning's Driving Tour. Sights you will see: Edgewater Park Beach The Emerald Necklace Park Shaker Lakes Cleveland Cultural Gardens Lakefront State Park Cleveland Museum of Art (we could stop here if people request it) Cleveland Museum of Natural History Fairmount Historic District Drew Carey's TV House Various historic locations significant to classic automobile enthusiasts DeLorean Cadillac (founded by JZD's brother) Places you will visit: NASA Lewis Visitor's Center The Shaker Museum Coventry Village Shopping Center President Garfield Memorial You will have lunch at: The 100th Bomb Group (WWII aviation theme restraunt) Except for lunch, everything on the driving tour is free. If anyone has any requests of sights or stops to include on the tour, please contact me by private E-mail. If you have comments to share with the whole DML, please DO NOT include this entire long message as a quote! - Mike Substelny
