Guys, I'm headed to the auto show Saturday as well - I could jump in at lunch when a destination is locked down - any idea what time you will be done at CPT?
Marcus, there is a J Alex at Oak Brook, I think that was the one originally suggested.
Regardless, I will be at the show!

I'm not opposed to J Alexanders... except it's pretty out of the way if we are going to McCormick place and while I know Jason is reading this and saying he wants to drive drive drive... there is going to be traffic heading down to McCormick after lunch if we go all the way up to Northbrook. We should consider going somewhere at Oak Brook Court (the mall) or maybe Dave & Buster's in Addison.
thoughts?

The plan was the J Alexanders in Oak Brook mall, then to the auto show...
except nick can go to northbrook if he likes...

Ok guys, we have our 8 cars (alumar you have no choice anymore, you must come and dyno that beast... 
). In order to fit the schedule we've set, aleksandar you have be strapping down at 9am! ENDSMTG, you will be right after him, then nick, then myself, etc. I know it's early, but we have a full day booked up and dynoing 8 cars will take a few hours... we don't want to be eating lunch at 6pm.

Hopefully not past noon, as I will be fiending for some food. Just so everybody is clear, we are going to J. Alexanders in Oak Brook. That won't be out of the way for those wanting to go the auto show also. And don't get your hopes up, as there is no Porsche and no hospitality room at MB. Also, if the weather doesn't cooperate, I may have an open dyno slot that I pretty well have already paid for, if anybody(Jason!) would be able to use it.

I think that 2 rear wheels will fit in the M6 so you can swap them out to dyno!

Do you really need a rain date? Its to dyno in the morning and food locally right and auto show for some. Snow tires should make for a fun ride don't you think?
BTW guys I could only attend in the dyno day cause chances are it will last til near noon or longer I have things to do after 12pm for rest of afternoon.

Looks like there is a good chance for significant snow.
PEOPLE ON THE DYNO LIST... if you would like to vote for a reschedule, speak up... if the majority want to reschedule I will talk to CPT and see what I can do...
I am going to vote against a reschedule, cause my car is already at CPT

I just spoke with Al @ CPT, I know alumar is probably out, and now ENDSMTG would also like a rain date - it would be best to reschedule if a few more people would rather do it next weekend or the weekend after. I will try sending emails/pms to everyone on the list letting them know we will most likely reschedule.

Can we still meet at CPT, maybe like 10 to BS before heading to lunch?
Nick
Also, I am planning on one person per car for lunch, so shoot me an email or text me if you are planning on bringing other people.
