Event Coverage IRON INVASION the Chicago land Hot Rod Custom & Cycle show

that sounds WAY cool!!!!! I cant wait to see it. If you have any problems - ask for Mitch Huffington - I will tell him what is up.

 

there is handicap parking....

 

too bad you could not come to the Iron Invasion and buy your ADVANCE Mecum passes at the show! Yes, I just got word from Mecum Auto Auctions they are donating 100 advance passes to the Schaumburg auction. Get this, ALL proceeds from the sales of these passes goes directly to the Helping Hannahs Heart Foundation! All we can say is WoW. Blown away by the generosity and cant thank them enough. SO, if anyone is planning on being at Iron Invasion this Saturday and the Mecum auction the following weekend, please purchase your Mecum entry in Building C (right by the Calori Coupe) and you will be helping out the 501(c)3.

 

Just a heads up - we have been getting a LOT of phone calls and emails about this show..... I am afraid that we are going to have some major traffic issues on Route 47. So please ARRIVE EARLY! This means before 930am.

 

How much rain this year?

 

the forecast is not calling for rain, but the temperature will be around 50

 

A little rain doesnt hurt a car. Everyone put on your big boy pants and support the show. I work in a cardiac unit and can tell you first hand how devastating these defects can be. We all need to step up and help out.

 

Anyone go yesterday? I didn't take very many pictures but here's what I got.

A little rain and snow in the morning


I ran out of gas!! Haha


And one of me and my buddies parked at the show.

thanks to everyone that came out! snow sleet and rain are not the typical forecast you want for a cycle/hot rod/kustom show......... but just about everyone that came out really wanted to be there and we had a great time. And yes, we were able to help out another family with some bills they incurred this summer with some open heart surgery. So THANK YOU to all that came out and supported the event.

 

It's nice to see money go straight to the families in need rather than to the administrators of a charitable organization. Way to go, John! That was another great show. I wish I could have stayed longer or helped out this year.
