Couple of Things:

1. There is a Best Western right in Antioch down 173 from the Walmart:

350 N Highway 173, Antioch, Illinois, 60002-1835, US
Phone: 847-395-3606 Fax: 847-395-3606

Just an idea if anyone wanted to stay there.

2. The gas station that is right on the property of the Walmart we all are meeting at, is usually, give or take, 10 cents cheaper than surrounding stations. So if you plan to fill up, I'd do it there.

3. You are all more than welcome to come party at Blarney's Island. i don't know how many people have ever been out this way, but it's an amazingly great time out there. $4 mixed drinks, $5 for beer (Bud products only). It gets a bit expensive, but whats better than partying on an island!?!?! Looks like a live DJ and some 80's band will be there.

that is all =)

timka86 · 07-16-2007, 01:10 PM

The gas station they have at the track, what's the highest octane gas they have there? Around my area the highest I see if 93, anything higher then that up at GLD?

I definitely get a better kick out of 93, but I always fill up with 89, get's more MPG's then 87.

lvemy3100 · 07-16-2007, 01:23 PM

Tim the track gas is way too high of octane for your motor.. just stick with getting the best pump gas you can find

I'm just curious, i understand they have race gas... I'm just curious.
I'm hoping to win the Fastest Car contest.

Is there anyone coming with a blower?

Ajaxus · 07-16-2007, 01:41 PM

I'm sitting here laughing my ass off like an idiot because Mike Jung just texted me from his new cell phone.

Oh yeh, if anybody wants a place to crash on either night, you can crash in my hotel room..I'll charge only your fraction of however many nights you stay..So say you stay one night, 5 people crash total: $120/5=$24 is all you owe. That's how I'm going to do it, very simple and straight forward. Cash only.

FYI, it is a smoking room, I have no issue as I've lived with smokers for the past few months.

Is that the guy with the blue SE with the swapped 5 spd? I'm sorry I forgot his name. It'd be cool to see it. He's prolly not going to be running it that day, is he?

lone_wolf025 · 07-16-2007, 02:32 PM

I think the highest octane stuff they got at GLD is either 100 or 110... I'm leaning towards 110.

Edit:

Hey maybe I should've followed this girl and invited her to the meet

I know the pic is crappy but its the best I could get from my phone while driving.

Its hard to see but she's got a big ol' wing on the back and different tails. What's the kind with the triangular split on the main light? Its not altezza but the other kind...

DrFabulous · 07-16-2007, 02:41 PM

Fockers, no one has texted me anything. WTF.

Gizm0815 · 07-16-2007, 03:54 PM

last time i ran against craig he just got the blower on i think he had a best time of like 15.2 but that was a few months ago and im sure he could get better but the clutch was taking a beating and he didnt want to push it. i cant wait till friday night dont know when im going to clean the car do and oil change or rotate the tires before the track but im gunna have to find time. cant wait to see everybody. and btw matt if you me and jon all go we might have to represent no dice racing.

laxjax13 · 07-16-2007, 04:33 PM

Anyone need any stock GA parts? ive got a garage full of parts that i need to sell and if i can just bring them with it would be easier then sending all this stuff out.

ive got the LIM, valve covers, fuel rails, injectors, the block itself, exhaust manifolds, some ram air pieces, radio trim. im sure there's more

kse73 · 07-16-2007, 04:51 PM

Not sure if I can make it out to the track but Im gonna try. Havent had a chance to run the goat at the track at all and I'd like to before I do any more modding.

I was gonna show up saturday to visit, but now I have to work a detail on Saturday morning. Frickin Gun Return. Bring in your handguns and we'll give you a $50 gift card. I'll be sure to wear my bulletproof vest fo sho.
