    Stuck in Battle Creek for a few days, anything exciting to do around this neck of the woods? Any of you nearby?

    too far away to know what really happens in BC as far as cars go..probably nothing at this time of year. We all Hibernate, play chase the wifey around the kitchen and hopefully work out in the garage on our cars. battle Creek used to be a big Cereal town..maybe still is. You could try to see if they might show you how they make coco puffs?
     
  3. I believe there's a guy in Battle Creek with an extensive collection of vintage dragsters. You might have to ask around to locate him.

    Yep and he has a couple of parties a year. One is on Memorial Day weekend the other is during the NSRA Nats in Kzoo about 20 minutes away from him. He's got an AWESOME collection and I've been to his parties but I can't for the life of me remember his name.:eek:

  7. If you're there for the weekend you might try the Autorama in Grand Rapids. Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.

  9. I used to work in Battle Creek. During the spring and fall they'll have a farm auction just about every weekend, tons of cool old stuff to sift through. I know I've been to a couple of indoor auctions during the winter. Grab a Battle Creek Shopper(community news/classified paper) and see if there's anything decent happening.
