It's the first week of June, the oil has been changed, the battery has been charged, and the smart has been washed and waxed...what do you do now?


Well.....come "Meet Me in St. Louie" Louie...that's what! For a brief shining couple of days we bring our smarts together in the Midwest on the first weekend in June and this year that will happen in good ole St. Louie.


In early June our temperatures are mild, our humidity is reasonable, and our trees and grass is green, and we are just itching to get our smarts out on some curvy swervy mountainous roads. A good romp through the city would be fun as well and just who doesn't want to show off their beautiful smart car whether it is stock or modified? Some of us have a need for speed and our competitive juices are flowing by June.


All of these fun smart activities can be accomplished in one place and in just a brief couple of days. Just "Meet Me in St. Louie" June 5-7, 2015 on old "Route 66" and let's "get-r-done." The StL smarties hope you can take a couple of days from your busy lives and spend them having fun in your smart cars and meet with us in our "fair city."

Will post the Rallye fee when bids come in for some of the items. And how to pay for them.

Updated payment info from post #125 :
The registration charges are 32.50 per person including everything above. I was planning on lower charges but the sponsorship did not come through.

Go carting will be an additional charge and can be paid that evening but you need to make sure to tell me how many races you want to do as soon as possible to reserve the races for our group.

You may pay your registration via paypal to mickkeenoy@msn.com or by check sent to :
Mick Keenoy DVM
34 W. Lockwood Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63119

Excellent idea - a great city and a little more on the "mid" side of the Midwest for a lot of us. Looking forward to it and thanks for doing this! :hat:

Count me in for one smart and one person (unless the official smart chase car and driver decide to come along also.)

PS - another Indy caravan, anyone?

I'm going to put myself down as a single car (probably the cabrio), single driver (me), tentative. St. Louis is about an hour further than Amana in my case (15 hrs, 45 minutes by Google maps).

The deciding factor here is vacation days, and ultimately that will be decided by whether or not I'm going cross-Canada this summer. I'll provide a more definitive yes/no at some point in the future.
