"I smell chicken"

"I smell chicken".

That's what we used to post when we invited others to a "Chicken Run". Was no rhyme or reason to it, we just felt a need to hang out with other car guys.

This was a local event I started back in2003. Hosted at Del Rhea's Chicken Basket along old Rt. 66 in Willowbrook, Il., it's not hard to find and I'll give directions to anyone who needs them. BTW, a section of original Rt. 66 pavement remains close by, and its great for pics and burnouts.

We (JustBob and me) talked about resurrecting this old meet, and we agreed that it was time to try it again, at least one more time.

Mark your calendars for May 20th, 1 PM in Del Rhea's parking lot. In the old days, we spent about 2-3 hours in this generous lot shooting the bull over our cars (boy, we are good at that) and other stuff. However, no idiot stuff by the restaurant. That's what got us kicked out a few years back.

So...Looking forward to hooking up with y'all. All hot rods are welcome, this meet is to open to everyone (hear me Uncle Lar?). Let's get it restarted, and do it right this time.

Sunday, May 20th, 1 PM, lunch by 3 PM.

See y'all there, y'all be safe.

Kudos to you and Bob for resurrecting it

Mac shot the idea by me yesterday and I was all for it. My first meet there was my first Marauder meet ever and unfortionately the last time we ever returned.. That was '08, this is '12 and a lot has changed since then, new members, new cars, hopefully better service... But I thought he had a great idea giving it a go again, I look forward to it.

Well that date happens to be my day off, if all is settled down with my mom, I will be there. As for doing anything stupid around there, I will make sure we will be covered as that is our beat for the office, so we can have a little fun.
