Cruise to Starved Rock Ottawa IL 11/10/07

[jdoc7]

If anyone is interested from the Chicago region, 5 Gt's from central IL. and 6-9 Vipers will be cruising to Starved Rock in Ottawa, IL. leaving from Peoria Il. around 9:30-10am on Sat. 11/10/07 If any one wants to go or even meet up with us at Starved rock for lunch, that would be great! Weather says it should be high 50's with no rain. Hopefully it stays that way. Hope we see more of ya there. We can't let just the Socal guys have all the fun. This will probably be it for the year because it is getting cold so come out, stretch your legs, and meet new people.

If anyone is running through Northern, IL on the way to Ottawa I'd love to tag along. It would be nice to get the Marauder out and stretch it's legs, as long as it is welcome.

Sounds like fun, you should still have some good fall colors. Sorry I can't make it, taking the family to the Notre Dame game. They still have a shot a bowl,...............the toilet bowl.

My wife will be watching that game....without me!:biggrin Catch you next time!:thumbsup Anyone else? It's gonna be 59' and sunny, may be the last nice weekend of the year! Jason, you are more than welcome to meet us at Starved Rock! We are leaving Peoria at 9:30 sharp and should be at Starved Rock by 11:30 taking our time to enjoy the scenery.

Sorry we had to change the day Dr. Frank (fjpikul). Hope you can still make it even if you don't have the GT.

I'm planning on meeting you guys there. I'll drive direct from Sterling in my F150.

If you do a search for Starved Rock State Park, you can get all the info you need on directions and the lodge. Frank

Jason I think your Marauder would amaze most of the GT guys....Class style and out runs 99% of anything on the road...plus room for a entire foursome and thier clubs.

She won't out run 99% of the cars on the road THAT day :rofl

I'm still undecided at the moment, it's a two hour drive to make it to the end of the line for lunch. It would be almost a four hour drive if I wanted to start at the cruise with everyone, plus another four hours to cruise and get back home :ack AND she drinks gas as fast as bony drinks Makers Mark Manhattans :eek

Starve Rock is a great park! Been there many time! Should be a good weekend and with the price of gas going up due to the devaluation of the dollar... better go this weekend as when gas hits $5 a gallon, you will be squeaking like a raped mouse Jason......

Bummer, this morning I thought I might be able to join you at starved rock. I thought I would contact Jason and caravan the GT and Maurader together. But now it looks like a no go. I'm selling a snowmobile trailer and expect some people to look at it this weekend.

So instead of riding in the GT this weekend, I'll be at home installing my transaxle cooler. and probably doing an oil change. Not many good weekends left here in IL.

Have Fun guys!

Dan,

Sorry to miss you this week but thanks for posting here. This will at least give me an idea of some more GT owners that would be interested in local events like this. My goal for next season is to get more of us together.:thumbsup

 

[DanQ]

I didn't think about it until now, but when we race (my wife and I both run a formula continetal in scca) I'll put a note on here. Maybe someone needs an excuse to come out and watch an scca road race?
