Default Allright Central IL. GTG

I'm thinking April 6th evening or April 7th anytime. Yeah it's Easter weekend but let's try anyway. (The 7th is my B Day, I'll be 29 and 168 months old. I like really good Burbon) We can do this at the ranch here cause it's half way between Bloomington and Peoria or suggest a place.

The shop should be somewhat clean by then. At least down to 2 cars and parts for 3.

Pete, you can bring your wife this time.

Who's up?

Hmm, I will be in West Virginia that week but should be back late Friday evening. But, I could probably handle a saturday or sunday get together.

I have no car at right now though. My turbos are being rebuilt at the moment. However, I could probably bolt enough parts on it to cruise n/a for a while

I might just have to bring the wife this time.

I could be, depending on when the tranny gets completed. I'm heading down to Springfield tonight to drop off my TC and to check on the progress and will hopefully have a better idea. I'm chomping to get out in this beautiful weather before the heat sets in.

Has anyone successfully installed a car seat in the back seat with a 6pt cage?

Unless a miracle happens, it's looking like I'm going to have to bow out for this GTG. The tranny was sounding like it was going to be completed last Saturday but now it's looking like I'll be picking the car up this Saturday. If I get back in time, I'll see if I can swing by for a couple minutes anyhow. I'll catch up with you all next one.

Speaking of, are the K's parking lot shows still happening? Anyone have any info on when those take place?
