Hi Captain Jim....you can caravan west to Indy then up I-65 w/ us...(or for a special treat, we can detour on some state roads and check out the Fowler windfarms!)

How early would you guys head out? Would I need to do an overnite in Indy? (then I'd want to bum a couch or something...)

[AndyS]

Missed everything else, maybe I can get to this one.

[Dave3x72tii]

there's usually a gathering before or after the show, and side trips to Bens pick and pull, or my own mountain of 02 parts. And lots of good food and beer.

Hi Jim...yes....you are always welcome at my house, I think we usually leave around 7ish EDT day of show and return later that evening.

Very good, thanks, Ben. As of now, I plan to go to Windy City.

For the out of towners coming in, there's usually an informal gathering the night before that's about as much fun as the event itself. (ask the Minnesota guys) I'm guessing that'll happen again this year. We also typically do dinner after the show for those who want to stay over Saturday night as well.

As far as the show itself, more details as they become available, but it's set for September 19th back up at ZF in Vernon Hills.
