There's usually a reception at the Doubletree Hilton at 6pm Friday evening and the bar there is rockin' pretty good after that. Gibson's steakhouse is attached to it if anybody wants to grab some cow. I'm up for making a reservation and having sup with a few Pontiac friends. My number is 709-690-6883 if anybody wants to text or call, I will be at that reception and sniffing around the bar before that. Follow your nose to the Woodford Reserve bourbon and that's me

Seriously though, call me. Just use starlightblack so I know what forum you're from...

My brother and I will be in the FAST display with my 67 GTO. Not a FAST car but the Pure Stock Drags were filled up. It is pretty fast though

Hopefully not as bad as predicted, might have to rethink the 100+ mile drive tomorrow.

Anyone needing a hotel room at the MCACN, I have one available at the DoubleTree, right across the street. Snow is changing my mind. Call 618 384 9604. "Bill"!

11" of snow on the ground in Lake County IL north of Chicago.
Zero snow downtown Chicago.
Just a little in Rosemont.
Looks like North and West of Chicago are the only problem areas.

Not sure where you read a dusting in Rosemont? Bad at 10am and worse at around 2 pm on balmoral so much ice and snow cars couldn't make it up hill. 294 south was unplowed and blizzard condition with multiple spin outs. Hard to believe the tollway was in business of road maintence...

I got word from a relative near there, right before the heavy snow hit. In Chicago "a dusting" is anything less than 6". We got 16-18" up in Lake county. Official total was 11" at O'Hare. Was all set to go, but roads were nearly impassible by the afternoon. Hope everyone got home OK

If any of you at the show happened to see "The Last Hemi Charger" on display by Apex Autosports, that's the same shop that restored my Judge...

Maybe its been posted elsewhere on this forum, but as I understand it from a super reliable source, the unfound 69 TA vert has been found and undergoing a restoration. This was the big word going around at the show this weekend.

It was announced at the awards ceremony that the TA is being restored by Scott Tieman and will be at the 2016 show.

So could someone just post some damn pictures....?

We've argued about the weather, about what the "buzz" was about, and now about Courtney's pants. So far, not one damn picture....
