Hey 73pintogeek,
Come on Down to Springfield this W/E!
Only about 3 1/2 hrs. from Chi-town.
Bring your Pinto and I will pay your entry fee or buy you lunch if your Pinto can't make it.
Any Takers?????

Hello 73pintogeek,
YES!!! That would be quite a drive from California.
The offer is good for anyone who can make the show!
Let me NOT be the only Pinto NUT 4 years in a row to attend this W/E of fun and cool rides.
Plenty of live bands and a Sock-Hop too!

Dude you have the greatest Route 66 event in the world in your back yard, every sept there the Route 66 Rendezvous in San Berninadino.  Over 10,000 cars and cruzing 24/7 for four days, ive gone for the past three years and i live in NC.  Its a great cruise in bar none.
