Default Caravan To HIN Load In!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we have so many Scion owners going to Hot Import Night on 3/25 i think it would be a great idea to meet before load in time at Sound Performance have a little meet and greet and then all caravan up to McCormick place.

From the looks of it we should be about 20+ deep. Plus if you want some last second parts im sure Sound Performance will be more than happy to help!

I'll have more details later as to what time but expect to meet around 4pm or so. So if you work put in now that your leaving early on 3/24.

Sorry Roland!

you know i understand thw whole meeting thing before HIN. But im with RO..

One of the things we have to think its about being able to enter HIN with 1/8 of gas tank...

but if there is any other location closer to Mckormic... then it would be much better.

Are you have to do with our scions is start out with about a quarter of tank and by the time we drive around and get to mccormick then you will be just fine. Just bkuz you have to have 1/8 of a tank doesnt mean you cant put gas that day. If you are at 1/8 then only dont put any more than $4.00

I thought this would be a good meet because "most" people going to HIN are close by. I knew that not everyone could make it or not want to drive because some people like roland and others live closer to the show and its out of their way. Its not a must. if you want to come then koo if not then we will see you at the show.

The whole gas thing is not as big of a deal then you think you just have to know what you have left and what you will burn on the drive there.

Its still over a month away so we'll see what happens!

Well we can do 2 meet points.

North/West Chicago will meet at SP
South/East Chicago can meet in Evergreen Park or Oak Lawn.

Then we can all meet up here...



Right outside Soldiers Field and drive in together....

Just a suggestion

guessing u wont be able to park there, since thats where people go to pay for parking (isnt it?)
if thats not an option we could do the parking lot just south of there (skate park) or we can meet in the parking lot by where we have to check in, clean a little and then go up

best location, with the least hassles would be the dominick's parking lot on the corner of roosevelt rd. and canal st. we have met there as a meeting point before -- big lot, no harrassment. i believe keith lives near by as well.
directions HERE
we are planning on resolving the meet point and any/all other logistics for HIN at the meeting on sunday. any other questions, let me know.

raśl...

After we load into the show they give you time to clean, set up, scratch ur ***** and what ever else you wanna do. I would wait until then because after you drive some more your just gonna end up cleaning it again when your getting you car ready fo set up.

I'm assuming that after you pull in they will tell you where your booth will be and then frmo there its up to you guys to set up whos car will go where. and then after thats done i would say get the cleaning done.

Since your car is registered in the show they will allow you to come in before the show starts to do any last minute set ups for example, anyone runnin neons or strobes and gotta hook up electricity would do it then.

After load in you should just lock up your car and come in early saturday unless you just plan on having your car all closed and showing the exterior.

I like this idea...the dominicks is down the street from chinatown and has a fairly big parking lot.
