I live in Howard County now, Ellicott City. Moved back down here earlier this year. I would 100% ride down if you want to cruise down Rt. 70 to meet me. Have a few other cars caravaning from this area already.

shoot me a text at 410-707-9372 or email at matt@masters-realty.com

It appears the lake effect snow is going to be pretty bad southeast of Lake Michigan (Indiana) as well as some activity south east of Lake Erie. I am going to be taking the slightly longer more southern route of 65 S to Indy and then 70 E through Columbus just to be safe. I'm hitting the road today at 5:00, anyone leaving tomorrow looks like they might have better weather.

See you guys soon.

Thanks, Marko is going too, He will be the one representing...Not to speak for him, IMO I think he's gonna go low 10's, I believe he went 10.60's at Byron so 3/10ths or so improvent at MIR is what I am predicting. It's pretty safe to assume the CL 65 and CLK 63 records will be coming home to Chi-town, he might just take home the overall MB record if things go well.

Lunch when you get back!!! I'll drive down to Naperville. Maybe we can all hook up with Jerry and Jake and the crew!! Still loving that 720 you did when I was behind you at Morrocco; Watch the video all the time.

I'm leaving right now....see some of you guys tomorrow and the rest of you Saturday. I've got internet in my RV so I might be checking in with road and weather reports if anyone needs them.

Looks like my final route is going to be 65S to Inianapolis and then 70 E.

Just loaded my car up on the trailer so it will be ready for Sat. morning. My trip is fairly short compared to most of you guys(90miles). See you there. Don't think my car will be at its best but it will be fun to watch all of you.
