Black Hills, South Dakota
Any TGO folks close to Rapid City, South Dakota? Figured I'd post here since the Midwest region seems to be based out of Chi-town. That's a helluva a lot further than Nebraska, Wyoming or Colorado.

Re: Black Hills, South Dakota
To be honest with ya our reginal board here is pretty slow, and I have never seen any SD members post up here.
Black Hills is a pretty amazing area, and cannot wait to get back up there for a visit. What is the name of that BIG car show in downtown that they have every year? I have been wanting to drag my car up there.

The Regional forum descriptions don't include the Dakotas. I suppose you on the west side are closer to "Rockies", while the easterners more mid-West. "Tweeners", you could say.
At any rate, you're welcome wherever you're the most comfortable. It's true the forum doesn't get a whole lot of traffic, but I don't want to prater on just to make it look like it does. Feel free to bring up things of regional interest!
BTW, my older brother lives in northwest Nebraska, just a little over 2 hours from Rapid City. I don't know if I'll make it up there all that often (was up there two weeks ago for the first time), but at least there is a little bit of a connection for me.

Rapid City! Hell I'll be going there this summer to visit family. I won't be in the GTA though. The 2.2l sunfire gets WAY better gas mileage.

Re: Black Hills, South Dakota
South Dakota is amazing in my opinion! I live in Groton, SD which is 20 miles east of Aberdeen. Good to see there are others in South Dakota. PM me if you are interested in helping me get a gathering started. I would really like to see something in this area. any type of car is welcome. preferably sports cars and lifted/lowered trucks.

Re: Black Hills, South Dakota
wow! there a few of us on this board. I have lived here in south dakota my whole life, and for the last 7 summers we have vacationed in the black hills in our 1991 z28 and we never tire of it. our cars are great touring cars and can handle narrow, winding, roads with ease. we are complimented every trip about our car and always turn heads. I lived in aberdeen for 18 years, a little farther south now, in woonsocket, my home town. We are always interested in meeting like minded enthusiasts. I bet you will be suprised at the responses from people in or near south dakota. good luck. randy

Re: Black Hills, South Dakota
We just got back from our annual trip to the Black Hills. Weather was great, car handled like a dream. and I was quizzed by a late model corvette owner (and complimented) about the age of my camaro.I love driving this car, especially mountain driving. I also do not mind seeing the look on late model vehicle drivers faces when we ease out from a stop light. They forget about cutting us off! I love this car! Randy

Re: Black Hills, South Dakota
and sadly, no i don't. I just graduated a year ago (guess that isn't JUSt graduating) and am just working until I can get the Trans Am going and the heads on my pickup fixed. they BOTH should be ready for burnouts within two months tho!

Re: Black Hills, South Dakota
Hot Springs here, go to rapid at least once a week...Just got my first camaro last week, motor set in friday, should have her running this weekend...Nice to see some fellow South Dakotans...lived in hot springs most my life, moved to rapid for a few months, but now back in good ole hot springs.
