2013 Full Size Pontiac CHi-Town Shindig
 

Yes, the notice is late, but we now have the date…

The 2013 Full Size Pontiac Chi-Town Shindig is happening on May 4th, 2013 at TriPower Automotive 1800 Peterson Road, Libertyville, IL. We tend to get rolling around 10:30am or so. You may have read about our gatherings in Smoke Signals, MuscleCar Review, High Performance Pontiac or Popular Hot Rodding. We don’t charge a dime. Just get your Full Size Pontiac out here for a great day of hanging out at the Ardito shop checking out the coolest cars in the biz. All you F and A body guys are super-welcome to come too, but don’t get snooty when we ask you to park in the back as we want our front lot filled with the boats! We’ll get some grub in your bellies and some beverages to wash it down. WE’LL HAVE A SPLIT THE POT to help offset the cost of feeding the herd so bring some moolah for your chance to win it back and then some. We even had some prize giveaways last year as well. Who knows what rag your car will show up in so bring all the hardware you can muster for a great kick-off to the season!

P.S. Thanks Poncho60 for putting the earlier note up on the forum!

I will be there....as if anybody cares ;)

Craig, you want to cruise together? I want to go.

Edit: I just sent a message to the guys in the club to organize a cruise.

Yep....Form74 will be with us as well.....but no racing

Just let me know the time and meeting place.

I only race at the track :idea: ;) :D

I didn't mean you I meant the guy with the fast car....LOL

Dont get me started!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll do a Chi Town cruise to the shindig. Peace brotha.

I CARE!

So do I Craig!

Just spreadin' the love....

Ok so what is the plan ?

Would love to go but it would cost $200 in gas round trip, 3-4 hours one way...and my heater core just sprung a leak!

Give me another day about the cruise thing. If it doesn't work, than Ill meet you Craig in Bartlett about 10:00 and we'll pick up form74 along the way.

Thats an easy fix!! Just by pass it. Who needs heat anyway?

Craig,

I can either drive over to your place or meet along the way like 53 and elgin ohare Expressway or ? Just let me know.

I didnt realize you were directly south of us.

Even though it is on Star Wars day (May the 4th be with you) I'll be there.

He's is close to Fencel Tufo Chevy.

Craig, It has been Sunrise Chevy for at least 15 years.

Ya I know, my Mom bought her car there. It is F/T to me though.

Craig,

Give me a call so we can set up a meeting spot. 847 812 3782

Craig, really now when we'd we ever do that??? :rolleyes:

Sounds like fun and wish my weekends weren't backwards since I'll be in town the 18th. Once again to little to late! :(

Hope to see those Big cars too!

Weather not looking so god for this this one.

A little rain is not going to stop me. :attention

A little THREAT of rain early but it turned out to be just a GREAT time. The threat scared a few ( Paul) so the turnout was just a little lite from what I remember in past years. But The weather was no factor and indeed it was a beautiful day at Tri Power. Lots of really friendly people with plenty to bull about, met a few that I know from the web. Hung out with Gary (Form74), here we are just getting parked before the crowds gathered around our cars. Oh ya lots of GREAT food served up, this show is just a awesome way to start of the season.

Darn, missed it again. Not widely publicized though.
Is it always the first Sat. in May? Used to be mid-May.
