Default Central Illinois meet? Anyone interested?

I think its about time the central Illinois guys got together again. I say anybody should be invited: F-bodys, vettes, gto, mustang, etc.

Anyone interested? Have a preferred date?

I'm good whenever. Usually Saturdays work best for me. Can it be done in the next 3 weeks-ish before the hibernation season?

My car is back together with the TH350. Sorry I have not been driving this but I had a few months of down time. Just did nit feel like putting together a meet while the car was up in the air.

We are going to Cordova on the 16th if anyone is interested. Private rental.

Oh, I now have a keg fridge as well. I don't look so great in orange shorts and pantyhose but do have a lot of cold beer.

I think 40 is the cost. Not 100% sure.

VICARRY? Where did you see that?

Steve-plan to see me there Sunday, maybe with a small nitrous shot on the car . I got a good deal on a TNT kit and couldnt resist.

Kyle-no problem on not getting back to me. We are all busy. Friday I might be available, and possibly Saturday. I am going to be getting my car ready for Cordova on Sunday. And Cordove is 1 hour 45 minutes or so from us. You should come along, lots of fun.

Nick-sorry about the tranny man. I am curious did you delete the torque management from it? Also, any word on the possible replacement for your Camaro?

Tim (mtnbkr81) - You best be coming to Cordova Sunday. I know where you live

Nitrous? Ohhhhh! I wish I could make it Sunday! Actually, what time is everyone planning on being there? I have to work that night, but if it's early enough, I might be able to sneak there and back...

I guess I am the first person to break one of his trannys besides Cartek (forward sprag let go too). He seems to be taking care of me though. Hopefully I will get it to the freight terminal this evening and with a little luck, I should have it back by the end of next week.

I'm pretty sure TM was removed when I uploaded that mail-order tune.

Track opens at 9, racing starts at 10 according to the website. Racing ends at 5 pm. Normal test/tune price is 15$. Steve jump in if I am wrong.

I was thinking about leaving Peoria between 8:30 and 9.
