Anyone who wants to get there earlier than 2, please speak up.
Come and watch me install control arms on Mercman's car, in the parking lot.
No, seriously, seems like everyone always has to get home to dinner or do family things. Im all for making the most of the day, coming early and staying late.

someone will have to post directions... all i know it get Lake Shore Drive headed south, get onto the Stevenson at McCormich Place and keep going on the highway; get off just after i see the big billboard, turn right for a click or two, then gas up at the cheap suburban fuel depot, then head along that street next to the hotel and curve around to the left until i see it.

I will not forget to bring trophy.

The Annual Air & Water Show is this weekend, I will allow a little extra time to get there. Others that are travelling on the highway should be reminded that we will experience a couple hundred thousand extra cars on the road as they head right to where I live.

Driving FROM the city, take I - 55 until Route # 83/Kingery. Get off on the NORTH bound exit and drive about an 1/8 mile until the stop light. Turn RIGHT and follow the signs. If I get up there it would be in the 93' Vicki..........working on a project on "Ozzy". I work not far from there anyway, could check my work e-mail.

Looks like I'll be catching a ride today, and leaving my Marauder at home. I caught a nail or screw in my rear right tire last night. :bigcry: What a bummer to come out this morning to wash and detail my ride; then find my tire flat. :banghead: No one qualified close by to fix her today being Sunday, well anyone I trust. Just have to get it done tommorrow after work. Well, hope to see you all there. I'll be hitching a ride :run: with 1 Bad Merc (a.k.a brother-in-law); Boy this really sucks. :hankie: Oh well life goes on.

Oh yeah! it was awesome - thanks Mac!!!

And sorry guys for not hanging around much but we had to get the twins to a brithday party. Also the rude knucklehead I am, I forgot to introduce my wife, Sharon. We didn't have time to load the kids in mac's car and then I jumped into mine and took off, she said "well thanks for introducing me" oops.

Got to give her credit though Two days at Woodward and she went with me to this meet, great gal. That 442 you saw was because of her too - she's a keeper.

Well. Obviously, we didn't make it.

We had every intention to come and eat some chicken. We got to Indy around Noon, which would have worked out well.
Unfortunately they had a traffic alert signs warning of a crash on I-65 and to expect delays.

We decided to get off on I-74 and go home thru Bloomington and Rockford.

Sorry we missed it.

I'll keep an eye out for future meets.

Please keep in mind our First WI, IL, MN, IA meet on Sept. 19!
Hope some of you can make it!
