5 donations now.
Im not sure im going to make it to the track night anymore :/ Thats the one thing Id like to do the most, but with getting out of work at 430 driving an hour home then 70 miles to GLD, its not looking good. Especially with traffic on a Friday night and being on 294/94 Unless I can get out early it probably wont happen. I'll be there all day on saturday though for sure. Looking forward to seeing you guys.

Make whatever you can. Your company will be appreciated regardless.

umm we are still at 4 donations...



in any case like Jon said your company is appreciated regardless of how much time you are able to spend out here.

Haven't posted in this thread for a while now. I plan on being around all or most of the weekend.

I prolly should not drag but I am not gonna be the only spectater so I may jump in. I should have the same times since I have not added any go fast goodies lately (well besides new plugs).

Mark, I will try to find someone with a paypal account to donate to the fund but if not I will donate when I see you. Hope that works out OK.

Really looking forward to seeing all you folks and having a great time at the meet.

I'm driving out from Oak Park, just as far as you, you got some heavy mods, i'd like to see what you would run.

The only reason I would run at the track is because I have a legit chance at slowest car ;crap

I am in the Glenview, IL now (tenatively) until Tuesday, July 24.

& won't have access to the internet much (or this board).

If anyone would like to reach me:
You can, by my US prepaid cell (only while I am in the US):
+1-224-xxx-xxxx.

Please no spam/junk text messages; as it costs me $0.05 US to receive them.
What is up with that ?
Rogers in Canada (& everyone else) doesn't charge for received text messages (it is not like you can say no to them); just to send them.

PS: When I cross the border into Canada, it will be turned off (but the account/# still active for my next trip to the US; unless I change to a new # in my local destination's area code).
When I am back into Canada, my normal Roger's cell will be turned back on.

damn mike.. you drive fast!

So I forgot to say who it was from; & not spam or a wrong #.

It is not like I ever use text messages, when I am at home.
I would just call the person.

PS AJ:
I tried calling your cell (which was off/out of range at 11am CDT yesterday), when I was at the Cdn Duty Free Shop.
They had Canadian Coors Light beer for $21 Cdn / about $19.64 US for a case of 24-cans (or a special if you you bought 3-cases)
IIRC, you were going to bring US Coors Light.
(Example:
Seth/Iceman: Would only drink Cdn Coors Light, & not US Coors Light.
Because Cdn version tastes better, so I hear from people.)
I just thought that you might of liked some.

But that is too late now.

No not really.

But my friend called my cell, when I was on Highway 401; & said the same thing.
As I was almost in Windsor, ON, when he called lol
I only took it up to 160km/h / 99 mph once ;)
I didn't realize it when I floored it to pass some trucks; when one of the trucks also wanted to pass, when I was almost beside them.
Besides I am old, & drive like a old person now ;) lol

I got in to Glenview, IL last night around 9pm CDT.

Soon as I crossed the US border, it was me in the right lane with the trucks.
Cruise control set to the speed limits.

From my local gasoline station in Toronto to Dempster & I-94 gasoline station: it was 847.7 km / 526.7 miles.
Used 17.257 US Gallons (65.324 L) of gasoline.
Got 30.5 US mpg, 13 km/L, or 7.7L of gasoline used for every 100 km driven.
(Would of gotten better, but turned on the AC when I was driving through the US. From all the humidity.
Plus I would of gotten better gasoline mileage, if half my trunk wasn't loaded with Sleeman beer ;) )

Spent an hour & a half or so in Detroit getting my prepaid cell phone.
[& setting-up my unlocked GSM cell that I use normally (it has all my #'s in it already).]
& then a couple hours latter, calling in to change to a local # for Glenview, IL.
& chatting to people back at home (delaying my lunch break until 4pm EDT lol

PS: My Bridgestone Potenza RE950 HATE cement highways !
(The trend pattern makes a lot of noise.)
I am glad Toronto area uses asphalt on their roads.

Welcome to the US. See ya on Friday.

Yeh, my phone isn't showing missed calls. I'm used to the taste of US Coors Light..it's the only light beer I can drink in excessive quantities without hurling, lol (Ill be avoiding drinking excessively even at the hotel tho).

Umm, got these cobras and I was thinking we could just keep it simple and go with channel 1 without encryption?

gonna be 5 in a few moments..

and now we have 5 :)


Thanks everyone who has contributed...

those of you without paypal accounts can just donate at the meet...

If I can make it out there, I'll throw down for all the planning and just to help out some GAGT'ers. If I can't make it, you're on your own....suckers.

Like I said, im gonna try to make it if possible. I wont know when I will get out of work till thursday night. If I end up working later Im not going to waste my time and money to drive up there and race for an hour.

But a sweet hour that would be :slayer
