I will take charge of that!
Lunch will be at J. Alexander's, in Oakbrook following the end of the dyno pulls! Now, I will need an accurate headcount at least Saturday morning to get them to set up a table for us. And we will be doing seperate checks this time, as the economy has cut back on me purchasing meals for everyone that comes to an MB meet.

Great! I'm 90% in. I have a few friends that will be up there for the auto show as well. My friend Chris who bought my E55 will also be coming up (but neither one of us will be dynoing our cars). We will be there just to hang out.
Also, after J Alexanders we will be going to the Auto Show. If anyone wants to caravan over after lunch with us, it would be VERY FUN.
It would be nice if we could take a route that would allow some 50mph roll-ons . Maybe you natives can work on that route!!
Dyno day, lunch and auto show....Talk about a hell of a day!!

We can take 294 down to oakbrook, that will allow 50-0 roll offs for Jason to coast to a stop while he waits for one of us to go back with 2.5 gallons of gas when he runs out.

J, tell you what, if my dyno vehicle doesn't come out of the garage due to clouds in the sky or something, I will give you my slot. In fact, I am so interested to see what a stock V10 puts out, I would even still pay for it. Us crossover guys need to represent......even if we have to stop after the second pull to get gas.

you guys want to know what nicks secret car is.... its a yugo!
You know why it wont clear a 2x4, its because the front bumper is trailing on the ground!!
your turn...
btw... I know there are alot of people around the chicago land area reading this, even if you have never been out to a chicago meet, this would be a great time to get to know everyone in the area..... except nick

It is a Yugo....You go keep up with me! I'm sorry Aleks, you were wanting to borrow that 2x4 to reinstall your exhaust. Sorry, I used it as a ramp to get my car up my driveway.

You are in to dyno? We'd love to have some W203s strap down! There have been a few that have dyno'd there before (and for that matter, W210s with the same engine), you will be able to get a good idea of where your car is at. Please confirm you are in to dyno as well.

Put me down as tenative; I would be traveling from St.Louis and its based on weather 
Right now its calling for snow next week!!!
If it is nice, I will drive up Friday night (have a good friend in Plainsfield, just off I-55. I will hang there friday night then get out early on Saturday.
Pretty much it looks like it's I-55N to I-294/290N to US-20, then its on the left side of the street about 3 miles down?
