Does anybody know when the date of the thunder run this year?

You would have thought that some of the "BORED" or is board members, would have posted a schedule of events here by now.

Kirk, do you think that your boat will still be running in July?


Rosie met with the owners of Joey T's today, and July 16th is the target date. We have a couple other things to verify before setting any dates in stone.

when are there going to be events on the Chicago club calender? The only one I see is the poker run.

Season opener at Hammond Marina May 13

Dealer Demo at Northpoint June 11 Sunday.
Shogren and Grand Sport will be bring boats to run. Scott Shogren and Greg will be bringing a 47, 42, and maybe a 38 lighting (108mph). Grand Sport will be bringing some cool toys too. I will post as soon as I know. All NIOC members are invited. Lunch will be at the Tropics.

Chicago Poker Run July 21&22 at the Resorts Casino / East Chicago Marina. Sponsored by Mercury, RedBull, Shogren, Grand Sport, Myco Trailers, Skater-Bullock Marine, Trick Marine, Livorsi Marine, Ilmor, Jimmy Johns, Pepsi, Huber Transmissions,.......

We will be posting all of the activities that are happening in Chicago on the water too.

Thanks Mark. Maybe some of us puddle jumpers will make it on the big pond finally this summer!!!


I'd like to make a couple runs up North and down to the city, would be nice to have the crew running with me - Matt/Dawn, Calvin/Karen, Dale, Kevin and anyone else. Lets plan a couple runs and get off the crowded mud puddle and clean out our engines!!!!

Lets do it !!!!!

Sign us up!! The River Splash looks like a good time, June 2,3 & 4
