As long as the weather holds out I'll be in Madison and plan to make the ride to Heidts. If I cruise to Champaign is a game time decision.

I'll be in the car in sig except I'll have stock speedlines on. Come say hi.

 

I don't think I am going to go I-70, so probably won't be going up 55. Plan on taking 36 hwy across Missouri to 36/72 in Illinois.

Hey Craig, I'll keep an eye out for you, but it may be easier for you to find me, since I'm not sure I will recognize that car. The Vette is easier to spot!

 

True - my SS looks like a damn Malibu... LOL!

 

Doing Madison to St. Louis, but no LSx Car this year. Gonna take the 1979 Formula and add few ticks to the 17k that's currently on the Clock.

 

The weather forecast for Sunday/Monday is really killing my excitement level. Sick of this weekend rain!!!

 

The STL weather folks said it has been 6 straight weekends with rain in our area. I'm hoping for the best on Monday.

By the way, you have two awesome cars!

 

No kidding! The only two day I get to do too. Hoping it doesnt turn into another HotRod POUR Tour like '09.

 

Thanks sir!

 

Speaking of rain, I got rained on in St. Louis early Friday morning. Rained on in Madison, WI, early Sunday morning. Rained on a few times getting to Champaign. Rained on during the evening in Champaign. There's a few rain showers this morning in Champaign. Forecast for rain is hit or miss today in St. Louis (Madison, IL).

Here's a link to some F-bodies on the Hot Rod web site. Mine is #283.

Would've loved to have gone with the t-tops removed yesterday (Madison to Champaign) but the rain kept them on. I did drive around Madison with them removed for a while, it was perfect weather at the time.

 

caught up with you on the way to Decatur lastnight and introduced my self at the show. Car is cool as hell and was nice to meet you.

 

Nice meeting you too. I shut her down just in time from that little 100mph blast down I-72, wasn't a few minutes later I saw that cop had someone pulled over....... Also while in STL, I got picked for HotRod's Hot 100 on Beale Street, but sadly had to turn it down since I wasn't going to go to Memphis.

 

Did anyone else get hit with hail in champaign? It wasn't big enough to do damage, but the experience wasn't fun...

 

Cars in Hoover, AL today!

 

Our group did the first three stops. 69 Firebird convertible, 68 Stingray, 67 Chevelle, 69 Coronet wagon body on a 2007 Charger everything else, 2015 Hellcat Challenger, 2015 C7 convertible, 2012 Charger, 1995 Impala SS, 2006 GTO, and my 2008 C6. Had a blast, other than I can't stand driving through Illinois on the freeway! It was much better this year as we only hit one toll instead of five of them, but making us go through a toll to get back into Wisconsin AND having a trooper sit right after the toll both...**** Illinois.

No, but the power at our hotel was knocked out from about 9 or 10pm until 7:30am! The hotel we were at was nice enough to let us continue drinking in the breakfast area all night after the bad weather hit. My DeWALT LED flashlight came to the rescue when the power went out!

Nice truck, saw it at the first stop!

 

I had eaten dinner at Texas Roadhouse and it stormed while I was there. After it stopped I made it back to the hotel then the skies opened up. No hail damage, it was pea sized (nothing like in Texas). Power at the Days Inn was not interrupted but it sure was a flea-bag hotel, worst one I stayed in. At least half the rooms had hot rodders though so felt OK there.

Great pics! I can't say I see my car but then I did leave after a while and head to Talladega Superspeedway and took the tour. There were a few others there too.

When I got home my car had logged just under 3,500 miles.

 

Here was our group minus the Viper that Tony was taking pictures from.

 

Gocartone - sounds like we stayed in the same hotel in champaign, we lost power about 9 and didn't get it back til 7am or so. Thanks for the kind words on the truck, we did the long haul and had a good time.
