          Sounds like a lunch stop. I hate to not do the actual route, but always wanted to run Rt 66. We did some of it a couple of years ago and it was well worth the side trip.

                Saturday or Sunday event. This may cause a huge traffic jam for people driving south on Sunday.

                    Looking at the route for the 1st day......I notice we will pass within 14 miles of Rad Rides by Troy shops in Manteno IL......this could be an alternative stop for those who did Heidt's last year and want to do something different......a left hand turn off Hwy 102 at W. Manteno Rd/W 9000N Rd takes you practically to the shops front door......

                    Established in 1995 as a father and son business that has grown to become one of America’s top automotive shops. Committed to craftsmanship and performance.

                            Fingers crossed they'll be open to visitors.

                              My wife mentioned this... so that means she wants to go. Might try to get to the venue early, get our stuff, then take off. She said it's only +/- 20 minutes from our hotel.

                              We also plan on checking out the U of WI campus, as that's where her parents went to college and met.

                              And going to finish up with a morning trip to Nawlens.

                              Question...

                              To see some of this stuff... do y'all ever skip a venue and hand your stuff off to another BS'er to get your magnets/time stamps for that day? Only reason I ask is my wife is going to be bored out of her mind, but wants to be with me for the week, so I thought about maybe just skipping the Memphis venue and going to Graceland for the day, as she seems really interested in that (me too, honestly).

                                I called Rad Rides. I spoke with the receptionist. She said I can stop by anytime. She did mention that most of the guys are gone between noon and 1pm.

                                *Unsure if they're open on Sunday*
