I plan on attending this event. I've already booked my room for wednesday night to Sunday.

As for convoyes down, I'm not sure what we are doing yet. I was planning on a two day trip down to the show just to split the driving time and do some "Shopping" on the way down but recent event might change that to a one day trip down & back now. Will know closer to the date of the show.

I've reserved my hotel room. Not sure about who will be coming with me, but hopefully a friend will take the time.
My wife is supporting and letting me go, just won't enjoy a few days of car stuffs.

I'm planning on doing a single day of driving down on the Wednesday... seems like the best for me.
Depending on who I'm bringing, may have to make a quick stop around London to pickup someone.

As mentioned in the old thread, I'll likely have to stop 3 times along the way for gas, so something to look into when planning the route.

I'm planning on going to this but it depends on how smoothly my swap comes along this winter, sure as heck hope its on the road by this time.
I've booked the time off from work already just to be safe.
I'm up for meeting with others to cruise along with as well, "Safety in Numbers" they say lol

Sounds like a plan - but only if either 1) I can bow out from the awards ceremony or 2) I can bow out early from the awards ceremony :mrgreen: ... ok, so maybe it wasn't so bad, and there were many a nice person present - but seemed like sitting through 5 hours of wedding speeches to me.

I'll probably head to Chicago first to checkout the downtown waterfront & restaurants. Stay overnight and go from there. Don't know days but methinks Thursday night in there and Friday/Saturday night at the show ... ?

I think I'm going to be joining you at the Motel... I know it doesn't 'help' the group putting this on, but it will help my budget to actually have the car ready for, and getting there.

i'm sure we'll not be the only ones...other local motels are getting fully booked fort hose dates.
I'll be spending money on other stuff that will help the group though.
has online registration for the show opened yet?

Was a great trip, and relatively smooth driving there and back.
I've got some temp and starting issues to figure out - and re-check my front suspension to see if it can go lower easily, or if I missed something. Thanks for the push starts on the way home - at least it waited till the border to act up.

Additional 30th Anniversary Window Clings/stickers available.

Think we all had a great time at the 30th, there' was already an announcement that they want to hold a 35th but not sure where at this time. In a couple of years we should know more about the plans and where about. 8-)

For those who could not make it, here is a link to shots my dad took during the trip.

all I had was my tach jumping around a bit just after we got going again after Ryan's hunting adventure on the way home :D ...but it settled down the rest of the way home...not sure what it was.....will take her 4 a spin again in the next few days to see if it's repeatable...perhaps heat related. it was a loooong drive.

Ryan, your spoiler & associated parts are safe in my garage.

good show, weather was good for the most part, gr8 IMS experience, gr8 cars & people to meet/see again....had a gr8 time and laughs with you all, thanks. 8-)
