FlynSS/R and I are working out details on another Midwest SSR Rally. Most likely it will be held in Peoria, IL in July. Watch for more information as it develops.
Hi Harv,
I have the gears and have a local shop ready to do the change. I'm waiting on better weather to take it in. I have wide summer tires on back and it gets squirrely in snow. Should get 'er done in a couple of weeks.
As far as I know right now Miss Jan and I can "truck' it up to Peoria. Let's see St. Augustine in March (3), Maggie Valley in May (5) and Peoria in July (7), Springfield, Illinois Route 66 Mother Road Festival in September (9), now what's left for November (11)? Keep us posted. tennesseecozydog:ssr
frank55555, the Mother Road Route 66 Festival will be in Springfield, Illinois, September 26, 27 & 28. 12 to 1,500 vehicles and great Friday night Cruise in/parade. Go to International Route 66 Mother Road Festival, Springfield, IL for pictures. Lot's of fun. tennesseecozydog. :ssr
We have had a SSR Rally centered around the Woodward Dream Cruise for the past 10 years! Its on Woodward Ave. north of Detroit and is always held the third weekend of August.
Watch the Michigan threads for updates later into the year. arty
I just got off the phone with Terry, FlynSS/R. I'm sorry to report that we will not be hosting the rally in Peoria. Neither one of us has the time to devote to it. This is due to private family matters that we both are dealing with at this time. They are totally different matters but enough to keep either one of us from concentrating on rally details.
Bob, 3yello did a great job last year in Bradley, IL and we appreciate all he & wife Terry did to make that rally a big success. It is a huge task.
Both Terry, FlynSS/R & I will support and try to help anyone else who might want to take on the rally somewhere in the mid west.
Again, we are sorry to disappoint our SSR friends, but we just can't take on the responsibility.
Ron, Thanks for posting this. To my SS/R family, Sorry to have to step aside, but like Ron said, we both have some private family matters that are keeping us from hosting a rally, that we ALL could enjoy.
I will devote as much time as I can to anyone who wishes to promote a Midwest get together.
Just west of Peoria is Canton...Friday June 13 ..fathers day weekend is the annual cruise in car show ...free entry first 200 cars get dash plates...they close off the town square and a couple blocks every direction. .lots of cars and small town stuff....I usually go and park for a couple hours ..Grab a drink and bite at the official time out bar ..and walk around and see all the cars...
