August?

[cheela]

If you're set on July, please do it later in July so I can come.

[drumbum]

I am possibly interested in going ...
There are a couple other guys from the STL area that might cruise up with me as well...

[Zake]

Just not the last weekend in July. That's the auto how I always go to.

[navseal345]

Yes late July or August.
And we must make it into Chicago, to do that Sears tower glass look out thing.

We would like to make it but idk if well be able to afford it again so soon lol

[bloodMoney]

If we are going to head into the city after the meet, it will be clearly defined EARLY ON.

It is going to take planning if we intend on bringing more than 5 cars into the city. I'd love to do it, but not if I'm going to have to listen to Jordan piss and moan about "oh, Chicago..... whine, whine, whine"

Everyone will need to stay overnight somewhere in/near the city, (not near 'the spot').

If people really want to, they'll have to plan to spend the whole weekend there.

Let's set a date before going too far. July 14th, 21st or 28th? Considering there will likely be a Fall meet as well, let's try not to push this into August if we can help it.

[navseal345]

I just think a lot Celicas going into Chicago would make for some great pics & video. And I would be fun because I haven't been into Chicago before. I would love to make a full weekend out of it.

I would set the date July 14th. That way a fall meet could be early September.

[sixgentoyota]

14th has my vote.

[Bitter]

I just hate driving in the city and the way traffic flows on side streets makes it hard to keep a large group together. Been there, done that. I got to the restaurant before everyone else, then they called me and said they were going somewhere else 5 miles away because 'it was too hard to get there'. If you have reservations at a time and there's parking I'm down.

[narly_charley]

Do you guys always have it at Starved Rock? If so, I'm down, it's only about 1.75 hours away from me....

[bloodMoney]

Always.

[richee3]

I understand Jordan's concern with getting separated in Chicago. We don't necessarily need to go into the city itself. I didn't think Willowbrook was bad at all, or we could even stay local and eat somewhere near Starved Rock. Or we don't even have to make it a regular thing, since most of us have long drives home.

[Zake]

i vote for a July 14th meet as well.

[cheela]

I'd have to say 21 or 28th cuz 14th is only four days after I get back and i need to fix some stuff on the cell that broke while i was away.

What broke? If you have to, you can overnight parts from Japan and put it on your tab at Harry's.

So how was the last meet, wasnt able to make it. But was representing 6GC at AutoMass @ Toyota Park in Bridgeview IL that following Sunday. Was the only 6GC there or only Celi at the event ;-/ . If anyone is close to Hoffman Estates IL car will be at Sears Centre competing in F class TSSCC event #2. Came in last place in my first event ever last Sunday, ran the track after it rained really horrible traction. If anyone is interested event is still open for May 20th http://www.tsscc.org, autox is fun as hell. Otherwise I hope to make it to this next meet if nothing comes up again.

Matt.

Oh yeah any pics from the meet?
