We have a couple of spots left, just let me know.

Tech should be no problem at US41. As C32used stated, as long as you're not doing insane, illegal stuff, everything should be fine.

I can't wait to go racing.

Now, just figure out a convenient place to meet, keep everyone somewhat close together on the trip, and don't speed. Speeders suck.

Is that the Hinsdale Oasis? I don't think that runs into 355, I think it runs into 55. Let me know, but that is pretty far out of my way. Are you guys planning on taking 294 S to 57 or what???? Let me know. I guess I could run 55 to 294, but I would be heading the wrong way if I headed to the Hinsdale Oasis and I think I would have to go all the way to Ogden ave. to turn around.

I want to apologize but I am a follower when it comes to to this stuff but talking to a friend of mine its on 294 and it is the Hinsdale Oasis..as for which route we are taking not positive also you can wait at a certain spot and we'll meet up by you. You have my number. I should have more info during the course of the day

You can always PM AMG JERRY or loungn14 and get a more accurate detailed route... or wait and I will tell you the route also....if anything I can drive by you and we can wait til they pass while in the same route.

Keep me posted on the route, I might meet up with you guys. It looks like I found a chase vehicle to bring my drag slicks and floor jack and tools.

I guess I'm gonna meet you guys at the Hinsdale Oasis too, I am gonna have to take Odgen ave. so I'm heading the right direction on 294. I'll be there by 7:45 don't leave without me.

This looks like it's gonna be a reckless driving citation just waiting to happen

When I followed Nick55 we were like 10-15 cars strong and with 100+ we still got seperated from the pack but nothing 140+ mph and traffic couldn't fix..

Since I am not trailering the car I am having my brother and one of my mechanics follow me in my Rubicon Unlimited w/35" tires on it, they are carrying my slicks and a floor jack and an extra bottle or two. I don't think they will be averaging triple digits...but I'm sure they will do there best to keep up.
