Details for this weekend (8/4/7):
"t3h RING!!!!"
Here's the schedule:
6:00PM-7:00PM Meet at Streets (by Dick's)
7:00PM-7:30PM Drive to E-town (checkpoint area for driver's meeting)
7:30PM-7:45PM Driver's meeting
7:45PM-9:00PM Touring: Hit "t3h Ring"
9:00PM-??:??PM Late Dinner at Culver's (We may also roll up on a local carshow)
(6PM-7PM) Streets of Woodfield (Schaumburg)
Map:
(In the map, the oval represents where we should try to meet. (If that area is pretty full, the spaces closer to the frontage road/highway will also work. BTW, for reference the square is $tarbuck$. If the area in front of frontage road is full, please meet on the other side of Dick's sporting goods (circled in blue), closest to the corner of Martingale and Woodfield Rd--the road inbetween Streets and the Main Woodfield Mall.)
Weather: (weather.com | accuweather)
After Streest we'll cruise to the new meet location. From the new meet location we'll be driving 4 miles to "t3h ring", a 12 mile loop with plenty of twists and elevation changes
.
This can be a very challenging drive so be sure to read (click the article): The Pace
DO NOT DRIVE LIKE AN @SSHAT WHILE YOU LOOK FOR US OR ARE WITH US. ALSO: NO BURNOUTS. NO REVVING. NO "DRIFTING". NO STEREO BLASTING. NO LITTERING.
Here are the meet rules:

Here are the drive/tour/cruise rules (being developed all the time):

If you don't have one already, bring an FRS (e.g. Motorola Talkabout) radio that can do privacy/security channels. You'll have a much better time during the cruise.

Here's more information on the radios...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service
http://www.gmrsweb.com/codetable.html <- CTCSS/Privacy/Security code translation table
Whatever brand you get, make sure it's got the CTCSS/Privacy/Security codes so you can talk with us.... so far the three interoperable brands appear to be Cobra, Midland, and Motorola. (Their privacy/CTCSS codes match).
Cheaper FRS radios only have channels 1-14. FRS radios with the CTCSS/Privacy/Security sub-channels have channels 1-14 with subchannels 1-38 in each main channel, ala 1^1-1^38 - 14^1-14^38.
You can still listen into conversations on equipment that doesn't support subchannels, but you can't speak/broadcast.
