Well I tried to pull out the stops and looked into making it there. I went to the all Florida meet today (about a 270 mile round trip) and I got the horrid message on my answering machine I got to go into work early Monday morning so to do the trip the way I would be comfortable, I would need that Monday (21'st) off. I had a ticket in reserve but next time guys? Howabout it?
We are just in a nasty crunch at work and they cannot do Monday without me (pussys)
I enjoyed following this thread and I will be there in spirit and fire up my Grill with some damned good Chicago style BBQ here and I will be thinking about you folks. I really appreciated the invite and I really think this meet will be a one of a kind blast. I love Chicago and the hospitality..and especially the food!!
At our meet in Florida today, I got there about 330PM and left about 5PM, it was looking like rain. Thier was two S-14's and Two S-13's counting mine. Lots of nice Sentras and Altimas. Even a NX2000! I think they got some good pics of my car, rust holes under the hatch and all. It was rather short meet and the driving was 4X longer than the actual meet. Left at 145PM, got back here around 730PM...but all in all it is great to see and speak to other Nissan folks. We did not eat or anything. Made some friends.
The drive there and back on I-95 was worth the trip alone. Lots of super high speed cars running very fast on the interstate...averaging 85, lots of oppurtunitys to run upwards of 100 to over 110 safely with traffic. The car loved the trip..ran like a champ! South Florida traffic on I-95 Hauls a$$. Lots of people doing 100 for miles and miles. I saw NO FHP. Wierd thing is no one seemed to even want to slow at all going in the 55MPH limit, just flying 75/85 and 95 and more. It was danger to slow to 75 in the 55.
I hope to make it to a Chicagoland meet in the near future. I will make sure it is not the middle of July, when our company is in an uproar.
Cheers,
Bill
