I just sent an email to Toby Ristau letting him know I am helping UncleLar and giving him an update on things. I should hopefully know soon when our official deadline is to have cars signed up so we can all park together. Here is the official list from all the sites so far.

Ok, so I sent an email to Toby Ristau At JcWhitney with a car count update. He said they can accomodate us right up until the day of the show. So for any members who are on the fence about going, I would say as long as you can meet up with us at the Flying J for breakfast that morning we have a pretty good chance of being able to park together. So come on out guys.

If you guys have those FMS/GMRS radios bring them with you,they'll come in handy.
Here's a link to where I got mine on closeout,if you hurry you can get a pair of brand new 18 mile range radios like I have in time for the meet for $29.95 + a stipend for shipping.They have others even cheaper.

I am going to try and make it to the flying J, what time is everyone leaving to go to JC?

I'm gonna shoot for sometime around 7-7:30. It looks like me and guspech might come down together, any other interest from the western burbs?

The first two times I went to the show, I got there super early... but it is a long day. I will probably get there at 10:30am, gives me some time before the judging starts at noon.

I will not be bringing the Marauder, with this rain I haven't been able to clean it up and my focus is on the Fleetwood (hopefully this will be my fourth trophy from the JC Whitney show).

UncleLar

Darn,we coulda used another DTR so we could park the cars in a checker board pattern!
I was hoping we could get some of the southern Il. and Iowa guys at this one as I know Chicago ain't always a popular destination. Maybe we'll do this again next year if someone else decides to again it then,unless things improve drastically for me I'm reverting to attendee status only after this meet.

I will be the only one in a Black Fleetwood...cya there!
Personally my favorite Caddy's were the 65's and 66's,smooth body styling and clean without the usual 60's angles,pointy fins and too much chrome.As a matter of fact my Godson who lived out in DG had 4 65's and 66's back in the late eighties.
The 57's were decent though too.
But I've got to admit yours looks pretty darn nice and I'm sure I'll end up checking it out closer and taking some pics of it. :up:

I emailed Toby Ristau at JC Whitney thanking him for all the hard work he put in setting up the show and for the great time we had and received the following email from him.Maybe we'll even catch a glance of the fabled Cheerleaders in action soon.

" Larry, thank you for the e-mail. It was great weather and a great turn out. I'm glad your group had a good time. Tell your members thank you for coming to the show, we appreciate the participation. We will be putting a video of the show on you tube and once it is up I will e-mail you the link. Once again thank you for your support!!!"
