Thanks for the info "SGT."

I just changed flight reservations so I could make this one.

Friday night (5/18th) is Downers Grove's first Car Show on Main Street, so CMC's Saturday event is perfect timing as a follow-up. :yahoo:

I will try and spread the word.

If anyone is planning on coming out for this we need to discuss. The Aurora planning committee has some guidelines naturally. As per my original post they want us to keep it to 8 - 9 cars which I understand. I would like it if someone is good with writing to share a one or two paragraph tribute to the Legend for the announcers to read. It would also be cool if someone could video so we can share with Team Shelby. Can you give me a call so we can work together on this an coordinate. 630-329-5563 thanks

Is there a central log of Illinois "Rev your Salute" on May 30th ? - anything scheduled at Volo car museum ?

 

 

pnichol2,

 

No " rev your salute " at the Volo Museum. If you live north and I mean Wisconsin border north check out what 54LPony posted under

"Carroll Shelby national memorial-May 30, 2012. There you will see Erv's Mug 130 W. Ryan Rd. Oak Creek, WI 414-762-5010.

Now if you live more South than North then you can join me at the Hooters in Downers Grove 1303 Butterfield Rd. Downers Grove

630-960-4008. I will be arriving between 8 and 8:15 PM at that location.

Hope to see you at either location and if you attend the Erv's Mug say hi to Vance Irvin.

I think the HEAT kept people away. Although the Mustangs that did come were outstanding!

 

Another reminder that July 28 is Pony Car Night in Lombard. I hope as many cars show up as Downers for that night. Park on Park Ave. just north of St. Charles. The feature band that night is the Cryan Shames. Hope to see you there.

I'm feeling kind of sad that I missed Downers Grove. I know I was partially submerged in a relative's swimming pool at the time. That whole week was a Hot one!

 

Give me a knock on the head, Rich! I'd appreciate the reminder. You have my email. -Rob

Hey Rich - Hope you and Tim had a good time yesterday at the EAA show.

 

Lombard was mobbed! Great weather brought out all kinds of cars, and people.

One would never know it was Pony Car night, however. Maybe the Mustangs and Camaros where sequestered in a lot somewhere I missed?

The only other Shelby I saw was a '07-'09 Black vert.

Lots of custom stuff - Lots of old stuff - some real nice, some just bizarre, some just junk.

 

Headed to the "Wicked Nationals" in NJ next Saturday, but I would like to visit Lombard again this season before it ends.

The low turnout is because I didn't show. LOL I am glad you enjoyed Lombards show. How were the Cryan Shames? And yes we will get together before the season is over.

I would like that, Rich.

 

As for the Cryan Shames, they are better than most bands that started on "America's Got Talent!"

...maybe that's why I was never invited to be a AGT Judge?
