Hey everyone..
So just giving a recap of whats going on with the Hunnert Car Pileup. As usual check back on the pileup website for details. http://www.hunnertcarpileup.com
So this years pileup has been expanded to a new location and to include a pre and post party.. because so many of y'all were coming from so far away we thought it would be better if you had something to do. :-)
Friday night:
Hunnert Car Pileup Pre-Party
Fool's Bar and Grill
104 Liberty Street
Morris, Illinois 60450
There is a mapquest link on the pileup website.. Its located on the main street of Morris (Liberty Street) right at the south end of town.
DJ Transgenderd voter... err i mean DJ Riverat from the Chome Czars will be spinning his mix of music starting around 7:30 ish. Bands will be starting at about 9. The bar closes at 1 pm.... yeah i know its an hour earlier than most towns.. but hey.. its a small conservative midwestern town. The entertainment for the evening will include Hot Rod Huckster (containing HAMB personalities/Chrome Czar members) Hellfish and Django. Also Koffin Dragger and the hottest surf band in the midwest.. The Reluctant Aquanauts. These guys rock.
Now, Morris Illinois just happens to have one of the coolest truck stops in Illinois, its called “R” Place.. they have awesome food and some really cool shit hanging from the walls and in the tables. Luckily its right across the street from where all the hotels are. Also there is a Dennys and an Chilies and a million other decent places to eat all around there.
There is a Big “R”'s store there too, its a farm/tractor supply place, sort of like Blains Farm an Fleet. Its awesome.
Saturday morning the vendors will be coming in and setting up starting around 8.. or whenever i get out of bed and unlock the gate :-) but i will take it easy on the booze friday. Vendors roll in and out before 10. We want all the non show cars out of the place before we let the real cars in. At 10am we will start letting in the cars for the event. When you line up to come in for safety's sake come in the entrance marked “Show Cars”. This will be the first entrance... or southernmost entrance. Please line up triple wide, we don't want you flowing out onto rt 47. Spectators will take the main entrance and park in front, assuming its not all wet, if it is we can fit you around back in the pit area. Piece of cake.
The inspectors will look at your ride, if you meet the criteria you will get a small temporary sticker on your windshield (assuming you have one). This temporary sticker will get you back in the show if you feel the need to leave suddenly. Then you will roll up to the dude at the entrance give him your name if you pre-registered or whip out $20. You will get your hands stamped and roll right in. Spectators will go through the pedestrian entrance (right next to the main gate) and pay the $5, get their hands stamped and walk on in.
The can not be any glass inside the raceway. No glass containers whatsoever, we will have plastic cups available for people that forget, to pour their drinks into. There can be no pets in the raceway, no exceptions.. except if its one of those cool seeing eye dogs, or ponies that they have now. Also you can not ride your “pit bike” around or motor cycle scooter bicycle etc etc etc. Common sense dictates we will ask people to leave if they are misbehaving.
The Speedway is excited to have us there, its important we get asked back.
So after you roll in, pimpin in style on your dubs, you will be directed to the parking area. If you want to park with your club.. show up with your club. Real simple.
If you pre registered, your t-shirt will be set aside for you, we will not sell it to the highest bidder :-) You can wander over to the t-shirt selling booth and pick it up. Just give them your name and they will mark it off the list and hand you your shirt.
Saturday will bring more live music, in the pavillion the Reluctant Aquanauts will be tearing it up yet again along with Rocket 350, the Hi-Q's (who are the coolest rockabilly bend ever) and an unamed as of yet fourth band.
The American Legion will be selling Old Style beer for those of you that want to drink up. You will be allowed to bring in beer as long as its not glass containers. We have food vendors coming, so you can get something to eat during the day.
The show will end around 6 or 7 pm, this will give you time to get back to the hotel, splash some water on your face.. take a dump.. and get down to the bar again Saturday night for more partying and live bands.
Saturday Night:
Hunnert Car Pileup Post-Party
Fools Pub Again..
Dj Riverat will be spinning sweet ass tunes for most of the evening with Chicago natives Waxon 7 tearing it up starting at 10pm. The final and most awesome band to play the pileup this year is the HAMB rock star himself... Bob Bleed and his kick ass band called.... Bleed!
So, now you have it..
Captain Fancy Pants, the Chrome Czars and the rest of the Chicago hot rodders that pulled this thing together welcome you to this years pileup and hope you have a good time.
P.S. I will be the dude in red pants.. buy me a beer
