I'm thinking Bloomington/Normal, Springfield, and Peoria are all kind of central. I want to hear what works for people.

Steve, I'm game as well. Any place in Bloomington/Peoria is fine. I will come even if I don't have the car done yet.

And I could hear Nick's new exhaust for myself.

I don't think you will get to hear it as it is right now. I ordered some baffles inserts to try and quiet it down some because it is way too LOUD!! Hopefully the inserts will quiet it down some. Otherwise, I will be waking the dead on my way to Hooters.


P.S. It does sound pretty wicked though.

OK I changed the title and added a date and place. I know some of you are on other boards. Please post there and link back to here. I will talk to Hooters and see if we can set up something more than a meet in the parking lot thing.

I would like to have 15 people for this before I go talk to them. Please post if you intend to come.

Don't need the car. You can trailor if you want. The point of this is just to get together and meet other people from the board.
