Ok, just got got hotel @ gas money for the trip situated. Bringing both Shelby's, but can't leave here till saturday morning & have to leave to head back monday morning. Funding got cut a little short, because while we were in Denver for the Mega Mopar Action car show @ Bandimere speedway, the stove went out, had to spend a bunch of my money for a new one. On a good note, The wife won 1st place in the mid years class with her '85 Shelby.
If anyone is needing to split a room, let me know !!!

Ok who wants to be DD,look what else is going on same weekend http://www.fullthrottlesaloon.com/si...-fest-chicago/
I don't know if anyone mentioned it but if you are heading north on 55 get off on the interstate that goes to Rockford. Avoid the Chicago traffic. Even the 4 lane streets west of Chicago are faster!
Really depends on the time of the day, trying to get through the city at 3-6pm on a Friday is an exercise in futility. However cruising around the city on 294 at 8am on a Saturday is a breeze. 294 and 355 move pretty good for the most part except for slowdowns during the commute. I usually avoid taking 94 straight through the city. Most 4 lane streets go through so many towns and stoplights it could take you a day to get from the south side to the WI border.
Keep in mind that most of the Chicago expressways are toll roads, bring cash, or the EZpass most eastern states use works in the Ipass lanes here.

Sadly the van wont make it.Piston I ordered is wrong.No time to finish it.Really dont want to work on it there while Im on vacation.Ill be bringing the diesel..
Last Sunday during race practice at Indy Matchbox was .004 apart for its two passes and then started running on two cylinders before eliminations. Dialed REAL slow and went even slower...over 26 seconds at 42 mph....BLOWN HEAD GASKET! Got it over to Brad Pennington (a sponsor) and after doing a compression check with two cylinders down he pulled the head. It looked like a worm crawled between the cylinders. I picked up a reman head today and the car should be ready Saturday...then raced at Indy Sunday. Better to happen here and now instead of later and a couple of starts away!

Are there any car washes near hotel or will we be able to wash vehicles there?
Usually someone brings stuff. I'd bring your own interior cleaner, but there are a lot of people there who will have some, hopefully I will remember to bring mine.

Got registered, but I'd like to use my gmail account and I have an account under that email as well as the one I registered. Can I get my brother or someone from the admins to merry up the two accounts?
