Well...As most of you know, Nelson Matias, the Founder & Organizer of the Chicago Supra meets has most recently passed away.

Do we have the exact date and the location the chi2k9 will be on?

*emiliorescigno* · 01-03-2009, 11:30 PM

I too am in to find out the exact dates it will take place on. It'll be good to know if it'll interfere with my school schedule or not.

*92nsx* · 01-04-2009, 11:16 AM

^^ Emilio, we might need to set up a caravan down, as long as everything works out with the supra's. Kelly also said he is interested in heading down and maybe we can get Dan & Sean also.

*Steve_N* · 01-04-2009, 05:08 PM

Jeff,

You know My son Stephen & I will be there.

*Boost Lee* · 01-04-2009, 08:49 PM

A slow start...but good to see a few new heads popping up in here.

I'm going to try to make it this year, it all depends on if I'll be able to get off of work to do this.

A couple questions:

For the first meet/dinner, any idea of the city it'll be in?

For the second meet/lunch (I'm guessing), again, idea of city/restaurant?

If you need restaurant suggestions, I'd possibly be able to help out. I just need to know about how many people you expect to turn out (i.e. approx how many were present at chi2k8?)

Last year, Dave & Busters in Addison, IL...Not sure about this year just yet.

Last year, it was at the famous Brat Shop in Kenosha, WI.
Reason it's closer in the WI area is because right after,
We parade to Great Lakes Dragway that's in Union Grove, WI.
In 2006 (I believe...), We met at Chicago Pizza in a suburb of Chicago before going to Great Lakes....and had all sorts of late arrivals because it was such a long drive.

So...If I had to guess, being this far out still...
It'll likely be within a 30-45 minute driving distance to the drag way in Union Grove.
