I agree...

Best Western is the only HOTEL in antioch and is probably booked for Country Thunder (country music fest in WI) but there are plenty of motels in both fox lake and antioch so those of you who need/want a hotel/motel room check the following links for your options... http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...UTF8&z=11&om=1

I know I met a few of you last fall at Mark's place when he had his meet, he had mentioned to everyone that he had a surprise coming to his meet and I was the surprise guest. So I'd be up for coming to this meet in July, I'll probably be able to come for Saturday and Sunday though.

Oh yea! I remember you and your car! Come on down.

Ajaxus · 06-25-2007, 07:52 PM

Well as far as the hotel goes I don't think we want anything too pricey..but at the same time not a dive.

I'd chime in but I know nothing about the suburbs these are each located in so I couldn't say which way I want to go..it would have to be someone local that narrows the list down for us. Just do keep in mind, a place with a secure parking lot is a plus.

lvemy3100 · 06-25-2007, 07:55 PM

where's T when you need her???

if I wasnt in so much pain I would have already run around to each place... I probably will end up doing so tomorrow or the next day depending on how I feel...

silvergtjrad · 06-25-2007, 07:58 PM

As you get closer to the city there are lots more places to stay. Its only for two nights. Just go a little closer to the city and there are plenty of places to stay. You may have to drive about 30 min tops to and from your hotel once each day.

Ajaxus · 06-25-2007, 07:59 PM

no idea where she is, if i were home (at work again..) i'd bounce her an IM to get in here..perhaps someone else can?

so what hotel is everyone going to go with?

silvergtjrad · 06-26-2007, 06:54 PM

If you plan on doing any modding/detailing during the mod/detail day would people be willing to bring products/tools to share? It would be helpful for those who are making a little longer of a trip and have to pack up other things as well.

I have air tools available as well as a lot of specialty tools. However I dont have a compressor small enough to bring along. Post up if you plan on needing anything tool or product wise, or any mods you may need help installing.

I have quite a few tools here as well as air tools and a compressor.... but if others could bring theirs as well I am sure it would be better to have extra or possibly some people will have things others dont...

as for detailing I would ask that if you want any machine polishing done or want to use some of my detailing chemicals that you make a donation of at least $3 (anything more is up to you) to help cover some of the cost

cardude007617 · 06-26-2007, 07:11 PM

so how many runs do u think you'd get in at the track form that 5-close?

Depends. I was there on Friday the 15th and got in 8 runs between 9 and 10:30 and that was with a lot of waiting around too. If its that busy when we go so figure you could probably get in 15 runs or more if you got there early.

cardude007617 · 06-26-2007, 08:12 PM

iv never done this before, what's "enough" runs to get in? and what time do u think u all wil lget there? cuz im like 30 mins away

lone_wolf025 · 06-26-2007, 08:49 PM

For your first time at the track enough is never enough. Realistically after a few runs you'll get the hang of things but its hard to really get good at w/out a lot of practice. I've been to the track 4 or 5 times and I'm still not consistent enough to be happy. Just go with the intent of having fun and worry about having "enough" runs next time you go.

cardude007617 · 06-26-2007, 10:32 PM

haha ok, wat's the wait time like in between runs and do u leave the car idling or just turn it off, move up, turn it off, move up until ur turn again.
i just want to kinda learn what its like before i get there so i dont ***** out wen i get there

The time between runs will depend on how long you want your car to cool and how many people are there. When I was up at GLD, if I went directly back in line there was about a 5 minute wait. Plenty of time for your car to cool down to operating temp.

If you are able to, get a tune from mp racing sometime before the meet. Mark will be able to set your fans to stay on so the engine will cool faster. Plus you will drop some time in the 1/4
