Good Guys joliet Aug 11-13

Not this yr for me. I found out about the date change last month but already had plans. The plus side is they are allowing later yr cars into show Sunday only at this event. I think through 80's GM, Furd, Dodge.
Had loads of fun last yr despite some weather. And Friday night at the strip was unbelievable.

Friday night at the strip an additional entry fee? ( for spectator)

Yes but worth it. I think they gave a discount if you attended the car show during the day though.

I'll check into it. Yesterday's dragstrip admisiion was free, so I get to attend a "bonus" race this year. My budget only allows me three drag races a year, I'll try to make this one.

I had a blast there last year, parked the rv at a campground down the road from the show, buncha guys showed up to help me enjoy the show.

We'll see this year. #1 son is getting out of prison next week or early the following. Gonna throw some changes into my life...

I think it was $25 last yr just for the drags so that's a smoking deal.

I hope to make it again this year.
I will see if I get a chance to make the drags, that would be cool.

I'm talking to some one called metrom performance products on facebooks about doing an "at the show install of thier billet hood hinges on my car.
Gonna ask them if I could display our banner in thier booth.

Anyone know anything about these guys?

what do billet hood hinges go for these days so I can tell if I'm getting a "smokin deal"?
Some how I always seem to pay "retail plus"

Retail, billet hinges go between 450-600 from what I have seen. That is a lot of $ to spend on just hinges.
