Chicago Bound

[Demps]

I'll be driving up I-65 to Chicago and back this weekend (Labor Day). Empty trailer to Haibeck's with a 415 in it on the way back. Should be in Chicago area by Friday evening. Plan to spend Sat in Chicago and depart Sunday to stop in Bowling Green or Nashville.

Anyone have any ideas for events along the way?

Ted

[Jeffvette]

Come up to Detroit for the race at Belle Isle!

Enjoy the new power Ted.

grand daddy of all drag races this weekend, starts Weds., U.S. Natl's in Indy. Ray Barton invited me to go but i've got our race track booked this Thurs. for a private test session for a bunch of my customers. it's an awesome event if you can make it.

I feel the same way. I hope my car is still a yellow 95 ZR-1. It's been since Oct 3 of last year that I last saw it. I vaguely remember it. Can't wait--just in time to return home to another hurricane threat.

Good Luck :wave:

The reason I was able to justify it was because of HER shopping.
:D

I'm in for Friday night pizza.

Home Run Inn Pizza in Addison,IL is one of our own ZR-1 guy and is close to Marc's shop (same town).
We could possibly get Marc to show after Ted pick's up his Z.
About 7pm.

Ted and Karoline,

Have a great and safe trip to Chicago and back, I certainly wish you guys still lived here but that the AF for ya.

If you haven't been to an NHRA event, Indy is the one to go to for sure, but I would suspect your anxious to get the new "Beast" home.

Enjoy that sucker, maybe I'll get a ride in it someday.

When your at Marc's if there is a white car with NY plates on it......I used to have one like it.....I think.

I feel your pain. Marc had mine for 5 months with porting and headers plus a few misc items. But I must say the work is exellent. Saw your Z there both times. Drove mine home the 825 mi. with a big grin !! Tim

Please don't get my statement wrong.It's well worth the wait. Marc is very meticulous and the final product is proof.
My "PROJECT" was and still is a bit of a challenge. "We boldly went where some others wouldn't " ........was that a quote from Star Trek ? :dancing

Sorry for interupting the thread.

Frank...that's why my car is there too. I know the man has mad skills. I have wanted this since I went to my first Gathering and got a ride or two in modified ZR-1s. Marc being meticulous is an understatement. This car will be perfect!!!

Pizza on Friday sounds good to me!

No problem, I will not be bringing my wife though, she is staying home watching our kids (3 and 5). If I brought the kids they would be bored in 5 min.

[LGAFF]

Daughter's B-Day Friday so I doubt I will be able to make it. Although its just me and her on Friday may I will bring her along.

Dunno that is what I was guessing on. I think Al might be there, not sure of any others

[LGAFF]

Great to see all the cars and folks last night, Demps I didn't leave early actually it was a planned diversion, as you enjoyed your Home Run Inn pizza I was swapping your 415 into my car.

Hans hope you like the port and paint on the intake...should take you up to near the 400rwhp!

I also gave =JEff= a load of magazines(sorry no not Swank or Barely Legal) to scan, they include ZR-1 Articles and several Snakeskinner articles off some old mags that I have.

Hannah(daughter) had a good time, she was sleeping by the time we got home, but she loves to ride in the Z, especially when the tires squeal!
