Mike:

Thanks for the invite. I get home from work (Chicago) around 4:00. I'm thinking that is going to be a little late to see any of the cars. i would think they would be packing up and heading to their hotels or motels for the night. But I'll see what is going on when I get home.

Just a little update on the tour. Alot of the cars are in Racine, Wisc. It has been raining for most of the day in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. I work in Northern Illinios about 20 miles from downtown Chicago. On the way home (Wisconsin) from work (Tollway) traffic was really backed up from the rain. Saw a couple cars off the side of the road, one had the rear drivers side wheel of. A volkswagen with the the nubmer 53 (Herbie!!!!!) was pulled off with the car. The car that had the wheel off looked like a 40's Ford, not real sure, traffic was backed up because of gappers!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Shame the weather could not cooperated with these people. They had to be following the rain all the way around the Lake and up to Racine. It is suppose to rain most of the night and into tomorrow. Hopefully when they get farther south toward Springfield the weather will clear.
Wish all of you involved, a safe and peaceful journey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mike,

I think I may have passed your shop but we were late getting to the Venue, was there a white first gen out in front?  Would have been great to meet you.

 Yes that was the wifes 67 RSSS convertible. My 67 was up on the hoist most of the day. I replaced the trans that has been going out for three years.
  What time did you go pass? At one point the lot was almost full of cars. There were three 67s two 68s two 69 camaros and a bunch of old cars that didn't matter because they were not camaros.

There were several cars in your lot. (Camaros and others) We got in line to get into the venue at about 5pm and then took about an hour to get in.  The weather cleared up right when we got there.  We had an awesome time and my '68 ran flawlessly for 3k miles.  The HRPT it is an awesome experience, I have done three years in a row and hope to never miss one in the future.
