You guys don't have to register to be in the show, we can attend as spectators. I just threw it out there because that's where we are going to be that weekend. Its all good.

For the 17th, we can stick with the usual plan smile.gif

>Let's make the meet officially May 17th. Locked in. It's about 8 weeks out so we need to set a date so everyone can make arrangements.

As for a potential second meet, who would be in for that? If we can't set something up we can meet at Gridlife but I think I'd prefer an actual Celica meet, since Manny and Dustin are considering driving from Rhode Island. If a good size group from the Midwest Meet can't make it, it may be beneficial to those guys to move it a couple of hours East. On the one hand, I'm sure they'd appreciate a shorter drive but on the other hand, I hate to have it in the middle of nowhere so they drive 13 or 14 hours and have nothing to do besides look at Celicas, so keeping it at Starved Rock may be best if a lot of you guys can make it. So far I only know that Manny, Dustin, and Noberto can make the 31st.



sorry, wont be able to make it for the 31st, since no official date was established, i already turned it my dates. ill try to be there for summer meet.

Road trip buddy! Hey Tao, I'm trying to get more MN cars for this, but I feel like it will only be Greg and I. If anything, I can be your fuel/parts carrier...lol.

Plenty of places around Chicago sell it. There's probably not too many places right next to the meet location, but plenty of places to get it along the way.

The last time I hopped off 80 at Morris, took 47 across the river, then followed the river on some back roads. It was a VERY fun drive. Not a lot of corner carving but much much more interesting than driving on 80, quite a bit of elevation change up and down and some nice scenery.

80 to 47 south to Dupont Rd west which turns into Gentleman Trumbo Road (also signed as 2653rd road or Gentleman road near Ottawa) to 23 North at Ottawa to 71 west right before you cross the bridge north across the river. Then just follow 71 to the meeting place. If anyone wants to tag along let me know and we can figure out when and where to meet up. I usually get a little lost finding my way to Dupont road in Morris, there's two streets right next to each other, one turns into Dupont and one doesn't. Going this way adds about...20 minutes to the drive maybe, but you don't even feel it.
