Why wouldnt he just put the car in neutral and shut it off?

Actually he did do just that, but when your car suddenly accelerates for now reason, you don't think straight initially..but he did get it slowed down, checked under the hood and made the connection of what had happened.

Example: Like the last BBQ gathering I went to, that was held by friends (& friends of friends).
We all chipped in $10; & it was BYOB (Bring your own booze).
We had lots of food, & take home bags afterwards


& is there a deadline to donate ?

PS: How many days are we BBQ'ing ?

I think that if we could get everyone to chip in 5-10 a piece we should have a real decent setup going... that's not to say more isnt better but for the sake of those not wanting to undercontribute I would say $3 minimum should be good if EVERYONE chips in and it is BYOB...

there is no real deadline but figure the sooner I have the money the more prepared I can be prior to everyone arriving and the smoother things will go in the end...

i'll probably be leaving around noon, be there around 1.
whats the exact address of the pizza place?

My car's been acting funny. TB keeps gettign stuck open hopefully iget it fixed by track time.

we wont be at the pizza place but rather we are just having pizza from there on friday before the track... we will most likely be at the lake or at a very local forest preserve taking pics of our cars or doing anything else to kill time while waiting for others to join us to go to the track....

Being a Toll Highway & all.
What is the toll fees along I-94 to Gurnee ?

Or take for example, a free road:
IL-21 to Gurnee.
or
US-41 to Gurnee.

considering Friday's, and chicago Friday traffic, it would only be a good idea to take I-94 before rush hour. Afternoon, would be a pain. It'll be jam packed starting at about 2-3pm i would bet.

Hey Mark, I will try to meet up with you guys on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Thanks Labrat for the 411.

Mark, how much do you charge for a full detail? I may have you do it prior to the event.

I think I may be in for the burnout contest (gotta use up the rest of the tread on the ****ty winter tires) depending on when it is, too lazy to go back and check haha.

[5-lO]

Oh snap. Just realized it's my friends 21st on Saturday. Ill be way drunk in the city. So Im only in for Sunday hopefully people will still be around...

Matt you are still welcome to crash, pm/call me to set that up

[Malibu Glow]

Well somehow I'm gonna have to meet you on Saturday morning Mark, since I won't be able to come up for friday evening. Oh there's gonna be a burnout contest, what this is gonna be done at the strip???

Damn, oh well I knew I'd miss out on something.

Well I might be bringin my crew up, but I'll be the only GA, the other car coming is an old Towncar..he'll be burning some rubber for fun, not in any contests since it isn't a GA. I'll have them bounce me some cash for food so I can make a larger donation Mark.

Might have to go into the city for that..

[Mike Jung]

Oh, well

I got all excited when I read, they were having on "Thursday night features Mr. Myers Caribbean Rock"

[DrFabulous]

Mark, I just sent you some for the food fund.


Now I'm too damn lazy to read through everything- are you able to do a tune for me while I'm out there at all?

So will there side dishes at the BBQ ?
Like: Potato & Macaroni salad, etc...

& should we bring anything ourselves (food wise) ?
I was thinking about stopping at a grocery store for some pop:
Coca-Cola Zero & Sprite Zero
(Sugar-free pop for those who are watching their sugar in-take.)

well I know for sure potato salad... and now that you mention it I am sure I can get some macaroni salad... I am sure everyone else will chime in with other things they would like to see there for all to enjoy (at least I hope they do)

I will for sure have an assortment of pop and probably some MGD for the beer drinkers.. I myself will have a bottle of something to share at the bonfire (probably smirnoff) as I dont drink beer.

as for bringing stuff yourselves.. feel free to bring what you want

if there are any locals that can bring spare coolers just in case I would appreciate it as I dont currently own ANY and will be buying 2-3 foam coolers and hoping that will be enough...


also I want everyone to remember WE ARE NOT LEAVING A MESS AT THE LAKE OR ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!

I really wish I could say otherwise but the answer is still no on a 4cyl tune... that will be changing one way or another sometime in the very near future... and trust me you and my sponsored 4cyl car (lab rat) will be the first ones to know

[Ajaxus]

I'll probably be bringing a couple foam coolers with ice and the drinks I'm bringing already in them.

Right now it's looking like the following from me:

2-3 6 packs of local microbrewed beer (maybe more if there's interest)
1 case of Coors Light (only Light beer I will touch)
2 12pks of Barqs Red Cream Soda

A couple foam coolers and ice.
