Very tempted to attend.
650 miles to IL and 650 miles to get back from OK for us in central MN.

I'll do the leg from Joliet to Rantoul. I can turn it around and burn back to my AO. Should be a fun day. I have a modded C5 that is pretty reliable. Has never stranded me, yet.

I will drive up from northwest Louisiana in my Catalina for the last stop of the tour in Tulsa. Its less than three hundred miles from here and this car was sold new at the Ernie Miller Pontiac dealership back in 1970 - this dealership is still owned by the Miller family.
