Mark has talked me into the poker run, actually never been on the great lakes. looking forward to it, cant decide if I should bring the 50v or the 36 supercat. What do you guys know about the new Illmor, looking at putting a set or 2 in some Nortech's. plus can run without mufflers , what a relief. look forward to seeing you guys and then you guys come to the shootout in august. thanks jim

I will tell Neil to PM you.

You will love the great lakes, will you be able to stay a while, boating on the MI side is a bit different more Harbor towns.
But you can't beat down town Chicago, after the PR Mr P and I plan on getting a slip in one of the down town Marinas. If you cross over between the two states you can run a distance without seeing another boat, I am assuming that it quite differnt from LOTO. Look forward to meeting you.

Must be hard having to make a choice like that :D

The whole crew from Ilmor will be attending the Chicago Poker Run. There will be an incredible mixture of exotic motors such as Ilmor in a MTI and the owner's own 38 Eliminator, Lamborgini V-12, Racecrafters 2000hp motors, and I am still working on some turbines.

I already talked with Neal from Ilmor and he is willing to help in anyway.
