I'll be there in my yellow Z and my brother-in-law in his white C4. We should be there around 5:30 or so.

Thanks Pete!

I am pretty beat as I was up very early and drove all the way up to Libertyville Chevy first thing in the morning to get my Z's ABS/Traction Control System fixed under my GM warrany (thanks Kevin), and hit some bad traffic on the way home, so the whole thought of more traffic coupled with my lack of energy probably means I will save this for another night!

Have fun guys and catch you the rebound!

If I can get out of my Monday haze in the next half an hour I may head over there, but it ain't looking good. I am useless on Mondays.
