Well, we have not gotten that far yet with our planning. Ha ha.
Hooters parking lot in Schaumburg at the Woodfield Mall. I s'pose everyone knows where that is.
It would be fairly early - around 0730 - and we peel off no later than 8. We - the organizers - would already have the infrastructure in place - which cars are assigned to which spots (recon, caboose, mid pack radio and navi) and the only thing left to do would be a small "registration" the day of the drive (screen name, forum, car and the order in the convoy determined by the lottery).
As I mentioned - and defended - my micromanagement earlier: we do not want to leave anything to chance espec. when you open up the meet to a more diverse crowd. Furthermore, we firmly believe that if we are to have a great time on this drive, some basic rules have to be in place.

That would be great. We should coordinate this if you think there will be Iowa cars there. At some point there was some interest from Wisconsin - Madison ain't that far - as well. I would imagine we can aim for a rendez-vous around 1100 (giving us 3 hours of commute) while you folks make the necessary arrangements on your end, to meet us there.
