Northside Caravan
I will be doing the caravan again this year. We will meet up at the Ohare oasis on 294 going south at 9:00am and leave by 9:20am. We will meet up with the southside caravan for one big group. If you want to get there a little bit earlyer for some food, coffee or gas that would be great no stopping along the way. Any questions let me know.

Re: Northside Caravan
Hope you guys don't mind if I come along in my 84 z28. No real projects done to her; dont have as much money as I would like.
How does it work if I buy it online at the thirdgen cite? Do I get the tickets(or w.e.) mailed to me?

Re: Northside Caravan
a good place to sit, sun screen, beer if you are of age, snack for the ride, money if you need any parts from denny, there will be some drinks and food but if you want extra water or pop. full tank of gas allways helps too. maybe a few tools just incase. i mean one your a guy did a trans swap so anything can happen

Re: Northside Caravan
Hopefully old fat guys are invited too. I plan on coming down to Crete for the first time. Been trying to get the car tuned a little better so I'm not killing every bug for a block radius with the exhaust fumes. Never taken it on a trip over 50 miles, and Crete's 2 hours and 110 miles from me, so a tank of gas "might" get me there..lol
If all else fails, I'll have to be a misfit and take the Challenger there....
EDIT: I most likely won't show till early Saturday (around 7AM), since I'd probably get myself in trouble if I were to show up Friday. Look forward to seeing all the nice rides...even if they're trailer queens..lol

Re: Northside Caravan
I "believe" saturday that the show officially starts at noon, which is why we're running a northside chicago caravan into a southside chicago caravan at my place and then continuing down to crete.
Guess I'll have to roll the dice and meet up at the oasis...

Re: Northside Caravan
You can show up earlier, but there might not be anyone there but denny since it's his place
Otherwise roll up to the oasis early and then head down with them instead. I'm sure it has some kind of breakfast food being served inside the oasis

Re: Northside Caravan
I think I'll be trying for the caravan. Depends on how long it takes to clean the car up, and get the badges mounted.

Re: Northside Caravan
Wish I only had to drill a hole....you know what they say..put hair around it...lol
I still need to install the Dyno Don's headers I have, UMI torque arm mount, LCARB's, headliner, sail panels, sun visors and a 3 gage A-pillar pod....ain't gonna happen.
Looks like "project" catagory for me...if that!!!
