Sorry I didn't get back to you.. I've been super busy lately and completely forgot about messaging you back. There probably is some middle ground where we can meet. I have alot of friends in Champaign and frequently go up there. I definitely wouldn't mind bringing the vette up after I get the 454 and 6 speed dropped in. Also, Rt. 66 mother road festival is here in Springfield the same weekend as Funfest. I will most likely go to the rt. 66 this year instead of mid america since it is only 6 miles from my house, free, and huge variety of muscle cars and a few vettes always show up which is a plus.. If you decide to come down for rt. 66 give me shout..
