Thread: Northern IL w-body meet XLVIII (Herrick Lake, Wheaton): May 30th

Sorry for the late notice on this, but it took a little while to get enough people on w-body to say they could make it out on this date to make it official. This will be a Herrick Lake cookout meet. For those of you that attended the last one of 2014, you may recall we tried a different approach to that one. Instead of everyone bringing something off the checklist to contribute towards the cookout, I just purchased everything we needed, and everyone just brought $5 cash to chip in towards the total cost. People on w-body seemed to prefer that method, so we're going to give it another go. Details are below.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON BEING AT THE MEET FOR CERTAIN, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP SO I CAN DETERMINE HOW MUCH FOOD I TO NEED TO BUY! Also, I'm paying for everything up front, so please remember to bring $5 to chip in towards food and supplies.

Im in!

next meet i should be able to make it. this is just a bad time of year for me do meets

Yes. Rain or shine, we're still on for today. We're meeting in our usual spot at Herrick Lake regardless of weather, and if it's not cooperating, we'll decide what we're going to do from there. We have the option of cooking out anyway in one of the sheltered sections (we did that once before when it rained, and it was actually kind of fun), or caravaning over to a nearby restaurant to eat at.

God damn it, just saw this now. Need to visit GPF more often.

There's still time!!!

PUT me down! I'll be in the jeep lol

^^ are you sure you're talking about the rain?lol

Thats awesome dave! Was it easy, as we all said it was going to be? Time for mods? Lol

That's great to hear, Dave. That eliminates the primary reason for a premature death on these motors.

Thanks for braving the crappy weather to come out to this, guys. Pics here:
