Who's setting this up and where?
Where can we all log on to to find more info etc? Is this going to be an annual meet???!!!
FP and I will set something up for a weekend in September.
This is not an annual event but rather a spontaneous event as most all of them have always been.
Just keep an eye on this thread for a date, time, location and announcement from one of us

I should be open every weekend in September. Throw some ideas out there on where to meet. Personally, I'd like to do the Lake Shore Drive cruise, but am open to anything.

Suggestion????? On Sunday, Sept 22nd, at the Joliet Rte 66 Speedway (in Joliet area of course), they have a ladies demolition derby called, "Racing for *****". Parking opens at 4PM and is free, but a charge(?) for grandstand tickets. They do allow Tailgating in the parking lots, prior to the race, which should be in the evening. I don't know how to get the linky to the web site for viewing, but someone might. Could be fun if you like "*****" crashing into each other. LOL
Just a suggestion ......
EDIT: Saturday not Sunday

Route66

Why not combine the two ...... a leisurely drive down Lake shore Drive, add in a stop for lunch at Mannys' Deli, then on to Joliet (by way of 55), and watch the metal fly, after a tailgate visit of course.

This sounds like a good plan
What do you guys who have posted in this thread think of a drive to Chicago and a cruise on Lake Shore Drive and then back out to Joliet to watch women's Demolition night ??
The route plan will work quite well actually.
I like this idea !!!
We should decide rather quickly so we can all individually order our $16.00 general admission tickets before they sell out !!

Gary; Thinking about it a little ...... the Demolition thingy might end about 9 to 10Pm, which might mean a long drive back home for people that travel a distance. They may need to get to work the next day, and if coming from Detroit or Indiana, arrival home might be in the wee hours. That would be up to them. They could do the LSD caravan, lunch (maybe), then out to Joliet where the parking is free, and indulge in some tailgating, AND not doing the Demolition part, if they have a long drive back. OR ..... they might need some place to stay overnite. Just sayin ,,,,

EDIT< EDIT<EDIT......I JUST CHECKED THE CALENDAR AND REAL;IZED THAT I MADE A BAD BAD BOOBOO. SEPTEMBER 22 IS A SATURDAY, NOT SUNDAY. SO ANY DRIVE BACK COULD BE ON SUNDAY, BUT PEOPLE WOULD NEED A STAY OVER PLACE. SORRY .....

I'm more than ok with meeting up for a LSD cruise and lunch at some outdoor place or something, but I'll have to skip on the demo derby because of work sundays in the morning sadly.

The LSD cruise, Demo Derby night sounds cool. I generally stay away from driving in the city, especially on LSD, especially on a Saturday, but, who knows. I'd definitely show up at Route 66 though!
