Aw man, sounds pretty cool. Too bad my Mitsu is broken (and no way it's gonna have a new engine by then)!

Hey everyone,

A little update... I've found out that AMS (AutoMotorSports) will be one of the vendors at the MOD event. They are a huge EVO shop in Chicago.

I'm hoping to get some more information on vendors and the list of concept cars that will be there. Stay tuned...

Curt

I'll go either of those ways. 55 annoys me and makes me want to drive 85 mph to get it over with though. Let me know what your plan is, and you can add a car to the caravan!

r.a. frank · Oct 7, 2005

caravan! im up for it...just let me know where the starting point is

its_hey_ma · Oct 8, 2005

If I can get my truck sold in the next few days I should have enough money to get my laser and steath both running and I should be bringing both

It's 300 miles from me in northern Indiana, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let something like this pass by without making it. Count me in!

A few questions:
1. Do we have to registor for anything? Or can we just show up?
2. Do we have to pay for anything?-stupid question but have to ask.
3. Where are some good hotels to stay in in those parts?
4. Since it ends so early is there a gathering going on after?
5. Is there prizes/awards/judging for anything?

as far as i know is that you dont have to register/just show up...
i dont know if there's a fee or admition charge...
im sure there will be a "gathering" afterwards...think about how many people will be there..
as far as a good hotel-i recommend amerisuite
im not sure about a "car show" format but, im sure there will be free stuff

I know a bunch of people going but from different areas. I'll be leaving a bit earlier around 6:30a to allow some time for the typical stops in-route and still make it before 10a.

Doesn't appear that I'll have either of my cars ready for the trip, but if I do I'm going. Right now I'm in Racine
