Hot Rod Power Tour/ Pump Gas Drags/ Drag Week - Chicago crew whos doing the long haul?

I plan on doing the long haul along with some buddies. who is planning on doing it?

i will be there making the trip on slicks and skinnies :devil:

my car will most likely be at milwaukee, at most i'd come along for the first let to springfield and then head home. we'll see.

Alright guys, here is the rundown of what hotels us Chi-Town area people are using (all prices are for a double room, which can fit 4 people):

6-4: Days Inn: $78
6-5: Red Roof Inn: $69
6-6: Red Roof Inn: $84
6-7: The Raddisson: $127
6-8: Best Inn: $79

*This comes out to $707.00 for four people, which is $176.75 a person for 8 days. Not too bad, but don't forget the $55 for Hot Rod per car for registration.*

i gotta keep tabs on ghost here and make sure he doesn't get into trouble.

my goal is to get a DUI in every state:D

i thought you wanted to get a race in every state :D

actually i only want to race one person, and he is from texas...i think his name is "2muchcummakeshimsick" or something like that, but that is another story.

i like his name , i dont know if you want to meet him by the way his name is :eek2:

Yeah, I'll get ahold of John and see if he wants to hit the local spots. ;)
When do the reservations need to be in?

there is no exact date for the hotels, but they are gonna fill up fast. Oh and I am famous. you can see me and my car(the one all the way on the right) along with two other Straightline Performance shop cars here (http://www.1320straightline.com/carshow/DSC05396.JPG):nod:

I'm in for the long haul with my camaro with a couple friends in their rides. It looks like a good time for sure.

You look cute in that picture Matt. :gay: Give me a call and we'll talk about it. ;)

i will be there making the trip on slicks and skinnies :devil:

Slicks are SO not a good idea.. It always rains. 2 years ago coming into the ballpark @ Arlington there were numerous crashes due to the rain, and I don't think anyone was running slicks, just alot of DR's and tubbed cars slipping and sliding down the interstate.. If you run drag radials, make sure they are new!

See ya there!

yeah i was going to make the trip on et streets, but decided to put a set of MT drag radials on the prostars instead. it's going to be a great time for sure! :burn:

i don't even know if thats a good idea, 1. your gonna be putting 2k miles on the car or so, your gonna really wear those ets dow and then 2. i dont know if thats even gonna help traction i say just a radial!

ya it was coming down friggin hard here last year. i made it half way just see silverghost and a bunch of his buddies pussying out as they were coming in the oncoming lane. i was slidding all over the place too on stock rubber! called it quits and figured everyone had left. then i learned people stuck it out :(

I'll go as far as I can but don't know about the long haul or not. Will sign up for it and see what happens.

Made it on my Nittos last year without much problems.

Last year made the Davenport to Arlington in my 67. It was a great time and pulled almost 15 miles to the gallon with my muncie and 4.10s. ( my foot was almost asleep from not moving, didnt want the double pumper wasting gas )

This year I am planning on the long haul with the LS1 95 Camaro. I just reserved rooms with help from the hotel thread. Although I'll have to see if I can swing it. Looks like some where around $1,200 round trip. ( lodging $450, gas $350, food / beer $400 ) At this point I'm going solo, current girlfriend will not go. She'll most likely be history by then anyway.

Anyone else planing the Long haul?

I am going for the long haul definitely. is anyone meeting up around chicago, on the way to milwaukee?

My g/f and I are in for the long haul again this year :drive:
Floirda here we come! :burn:

I'm going again, my 9th tour.
