Sept 9 - British Car Festival
This year's British Car Festival is Sept. 9, 2012 from 9 am - 3 pm
At Harper College, 1200 W Algonquin Rd, Palatine, Il 60067
Registration open from 9 to 12:30
British Car Union
Early registration until Aug 31 (website says 8/21) is $20 for 1st car, $5 for 2nd car. 9/1 to day of: $25/$5
The Austin-Healy Club is sponsoring a "fun rally" the day before the event, as well.
This year, they have added the "Re-creation" specifically for cars like ours, those designed from a British car. Anyone with an original or continuation Cobra will stay in their previous category.
As this will be our first official year with this show, I would love to have a great turn-out, so they can see what they had been missing by our absence.

I wish I could, but I would rather be on the track. I hope we have good weather for both events.

Let's meet at Red Apple Pancake House around 7:30. It's located at 2121 S Plum Grove Rd, Palatine. Red Apple
It's easy access west of Hwy 53, taking either Kirchoff or Euclid. The restaurant is at Plum Grove and Euclid. We'll only be 3 miles from the show, so we'll leave together around 9.
For those who can't make breakfast, registration goes through 12:30, so there's plenty of time to get there as they'll group us all together. From Hwy 53, take the Algonquin exit west. |

Long range forecast looks very favorable with sun, some clouds, and low 70s.
The show map has the replicas in the first row right near the entrance, so we've got a great location. RC is bringing a pop-up tent and club banner, so we'll have some shade.
I have 3 or 4 so far. If we get a better count, we can get spots saved for late-comers.

Nice to meet you too and see everyone. Was a great sunshiny day (I got a little sunburned). We had 5 cars and got to see two old ACs and a continuation car as well. Congrats to Mark for winning best in class!
