Well ladies and gents, its that time again!
CHI2k8 is comming!
CHI2k8 will be August 21-24
Here the plan so far (subject to change)
-Thursday
Cruise in, meet and greet, possibly a small group dinner / after hours shenanigans.
-Friday
Lunch
Group meeting for every one rolling in / to the race track with a group lunch.
Drag racing.
The thought this year is to have it at Rockford Illinois instead of Great Lakes drag way.
We would have the track basically to ourselves, with the exception of we'd like to invite some other car CLUBS to join us such as:
We wouldn't have to worry about "Joe Bumfu#$#ck Hillbilly" in his V8 lead sled telling us how bad our chopsticks suck.
We wouldn't have to pay the track rental fee just with supras.
-Saturday
Dyno Day
Sound Performance has confirmed that they have a new, HUGE, building. They have not confirmed that they will have their dyno up and running by then, but Im sure they will.
I think its safe to say that every one that has come to Chicago in the past, has enjoyed the staff, sights, sounds and facilities at Sound Performance!
We are crossing our fingers that SP lets us dyno this year at their facility.
Three cheers for dyno'ing again at SP this year!
Lunch
We plan on a light lunch served at SP, most likely sandwiches catered in.
Swap Meet
I know a lot of people have a lot of stuff to get rid of. What better way then to sell it at a supra meet!
Last year was a little hectic with chaos ensuing all around. This year, there will be tables for the swap meet available. This will help with the down time while the dyno is getting setup or you're waiting to dyno.
Go browse the swap meet, and you just might find a new BOV or that turbo you've always wanted. :biglaugh:
I doubt there will be a charge for a table at the swap meet. This is up to SP to decide. Remember, we are all guests in their house during dyno day.
Celebration / Group Dinner
After the swap meet there will be a caravan over to Dave and Busters. Again this is tentative.
I know in years' past, D&B has turned out to be some fun times with people having a blast until 2am, with festivities continuing out in the parking lot.
The plan is to have a buffet style group dinner, just as last year so that the servers only have to worry about drinks.
D&B is a bar. It is 21 and over. DO NOT WORRY THAT YOU ARE UNDER 21. If you are with the supra group, state so to the doorman - no one will question you or your family.
There will be awards (cash, prizes, trophies) for the Dyno challenge and the drag racing (if there is to be a drag competition).
-Sunday
Car show
Elmhurst Toyota is planning on their car show again this year.
Lunch
The Elmhurst Toyota Crew does a wonderful job at BBQ burgers and hot dogs.
Lunch will be available and prizes will be handed out. WEAR SUNSCREEN and make sure your camera works!
-Notes & Changes
After speaking with Nelson, there will possibly be some changes this year to make things run a little smoother.
Prepaying pays for the following:
With prepaying, things go much smoother and we can plan better for parking, food, racing etc.
Also, when you prepay, you most likely will get mailed to you:
The hard cards will look something like this with a lanyard (blue red or black)
http://www.e-plasticcard.com/plastic_card.htm
http://www.plasticprinters.com/
http://www.duracard.com/gallery1.htm
http://www.plasticcardfactory.com/
http://www.ipccards.com/products/index.html
http://www.plasticcards.com/123b.html
This also means we need a really kick ass & colorful design for this years CHI2k8 (SO GET YOUR COLORING CAPS ON!) On the back of the card will be a spot for your name that will be hand written in permanent ink when mailed to you.
Car show changes:
The Supras last year finally got their own group away from the Scions. There were some complaints that the supras will still lumped together.
This year, the plan is to have a class for each supra generation. MkI, MkII, MkIII, MkIV.
Again, this is all up in the air, but this is the general direction of where CHI2k8 will be going this year.
We appreciate all your thoughts, comments, complaints and concerns.
Please direct all questions to Nelson. If there is something I need to change in this post, please email me.
