Would anyone be interested in doing a state wide poker run through IL sometime in the spring? I've been itching to put one of these on for a while and think it would be a blast. 24 hours to hit 4 spots all over the state and get back to the start point for the final card.

Here's what I had in mind....

Start and Finish: Atomic Fabrication in Joliet, IL
North Stop: Rockford, IL
West Stop: Quad Cities
East Stop: Danville, IL
South Stop: Cairo, IL
Cost $20 for one person, $35 for 2 person team in 1 car
Prize: At least 50% of the take, in cash

It would take SOME effort to get to each place but I think it could easily be done in 24 hours, even doing close to the speed limit. We'd like to get at least 30 people to make this fun, and everyone's invited, so spread the word!


Updates:
-The rough milage for this event is 1100 miles. That means that at 65MPH it should take you roughly 18 hours to complete the full trip. Could take more or less time depending on your route and speed though.
-Any car/truck/motorcycle is invited. Anyone entering must DRIVE THE CAR TO THE START POINT. There is no reason to trailer a car for a poker run, even if your coming from a ways away.
-You can take any route you want, just make sure you hit all 4 spots and get back to the finish point in time.
-2nd and 3rd will have a prize of some sort. Just not sure what yet.
-GPS, maps, genies and any other routing device will be permitted this time. With the event being 1100 miles, I think it's allowable.
-So far I only have 2 reasons for disqualifications. Coming back to the shop with only 3 cards and not making it back to the shop by the deadline.

I am still trying to find locations that are either going to be open during the times of this event, 12AM-12AM, or places were I could put the cards and not have to worry about them being disturbed or having the participants get in trouble for being there after hours.




I used to race cars, now I race myself.
