Valk - Sounds good & thanks for the offer. We'll scratch Cheddar's and head over to Chateau Wemple Fri nite. Maybe after a few beers, we can all start wrenching on Doc's car...

Spent yesterday running our Lake Shore Drive route with my wife in the BMW convertible.
The sun was shining and the skies were blue with temps in the 70's
Hoping next weekend will be the same and the drive was great as usual.
Now lets roll 20+ Crossfires along the lakefront in Chicago next weekend and make some heads turn !!!

I'm not sure if I can go anymore since you guys are meeting up so far away from where I live in Chicago. I gotta be back by 2pm more or less at the gf's place to help her with fixing a TV. Sigh..

We plan to leave from Bolingbrook at 12pm and drive I-55 north downtown to Lake Shore Dr.
Wouldn't this have you back in Chicago by 2pm ??

It might be a bit chilly for you folks with roadsters but remember you have seat heaters..lol
I suggest you bring a warm jacket thought for the tailgate and demo night as I think it will be a bit chilly out there.
Lets just hope we don't have any rain or the party might be at the La Quinta Inn nearby where some of out guests from out of town are staying.

I'm still not sure if I'm getting my tickets for demo night online or at the gate.
Just a repost of the ticket info for demolition night

General admission tickets for the grandstand seating are $16 for online purchases / $20 at the gate.
888-629-7223.

Tickets available online at http://secure.racetickets.com//Route...&GatewayPass=y

Not so much in the dog house, but I just prefer to keep her happy since the saying "happy wife, happy life" is all too true unfortunately lol.

Anyway, I'm assuming you guys will be at the meeting spot before 12? Cause I'm thinking of getting there around 11:30ish, and then on the way back to chitown to head home if 2pm hits by then.

Annette, please bring along your canvas print if you think it will not suffer any damage. I would like to see it.
