Where is this place?
We come up on 33.

 

Petro
900 Petro drive
Rochelle IL
A 25 mile drive from southeast of Byron Drag way.
Could not find a Hwy 33 but Petro looks to be right of Hwy 39, could be right on your way.
Maybe some one better than I on the computer can post a map.
Track opens at noon so thinking if we left Petro at 1 pm it should give the registration guys time to clear the
initial flood of cars.
Petro being a big truck stop, there should be plenty of room to gather all morning with out getting in the way.
I might even drive in Wednesday night and make it a short drive on Thursday.

 

33 is a state road that runs on the east side of rock river.
Also called N Rock River Road.

 

Norb we will be coming in bout noon we turn off and head towards Byron just south of that petro but could meet you guys there as well but then again you probly don't want me to show all you guys up when I drive in in my 55 ford wagon towing my 58 chassis Research digger lol you rich guys in your big semis probly don't want me and my poor ass rolling in around you lmao.

Is this the same wagon you were going to bring a few years ago?

Not yet.
I will be stopping there next weekend to load some stuff for swap meet.
Then we will have a hart to hart or should I say a hart to wallet talk then.

 

Sounds like I will definitely have to hang out with you fellas at some point during the weekend, if you’ll have me even though I’m race car less this year. I’ll be camping in the back woods again like last year, met some nice folk back there as well.
