I am planning to attend this event this year and plan to leave out Friday, late afternoon or early Saturday morning. When are you Chicagoland area guys heading out? Maybe we can convoy!

Jeff - just a suggestion - can you check which hotel can offer a block of rooms so we all stay in the same place?

Jeff, thanks for the PM about this event. I think I can make it, albeit in a 996 that I'm hoping everyone will treat as an honorary Shark for the weekend.

Also, thanks for hosting a Porsche event right here in Dubuque. It really is a great place for it!

I'm sorry to report I have just had something come up with my wife, and I will not be able to attend. Myles from our shop is still thinking of driving over in his '79 928 just to shoot the breeze with you guys.

Depending on how many people show up, we can watch a movie friday night in my theater at home. I can comfortably accommodate 11. 13 if two want to sit on folding chairs in back of theater by popcorn machine.

I did get a new radiator put in. Another Aluminum design from 928MS, It does seem a better design than the CR racing unit I previously had. I'll be there with the 928.
