Any Windy City members attending the Ford Centennial?

[PETSNKE]

Ordered my tickets a few months ago, was wondering if anyone else around Chicago was planning on attending.

PETSNKE, We'll most likely pass on this event and try to go to the Stampede to Dearborn II in August.

While the Centennial will be a cool event we are planning on Nashville Indiana for the Spring Fling in May and another mini vacation in June may be too soon for more time away from home.

:) We will be attending the 100th Celebration. We attended the the 2000 SVT Experience and had a great time. Part of the fun was driving up and seeing everyone else. We live in West Chicago. Will you be at the meeting at Packey Webb? If so, maybe we can all drive up together.

BadPony, I live in Winfield just south of Roosevelt off of Winfield and Purnell. If you want to ride together on the 15th. Drop me an email.

I just signed up for this, figured what the heck...it's for a good cause and tax deductable too:)

THE ROAD IS OURS 100th Anniversary Charity Drive will benefit Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and Henry Ford Health System and will take place from June 13-15 from 10:00am-8:00pm.

For a $50 donation - all of which will be given to charity - you will be able to drive your car or truck around the test track. All participants will receive a photograph of themselves at the Dearborn Proving Ground as well as a commemorative dash plaque.

Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) is the world's leading nonprofit, nongovernmental funder of diabetes research. JDRF was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with juvenile diabetes - a disease that strikes children suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Since inception, JDRF has provided more than $500 million to diabetes research worldwide.

Henry Ford Health System, a Michigan non-profit health care enterprise governed by community leaders, records $2 billion in revenues annually while providing $81 million in uncompensated care. Founded in 1915 by Henry Ford, the health system is committed to improving the health and well being of a diverse Michigan community.

Join us at the Dearborn Proving Ground!
