Reunion 2021 - Official Details

[Erics SVO]

We actually won't have any tollway travelling this year. Yep, everything has gone cashless, strictly plate recognition and online payment for non-Ipass/EZpass transponders. Rental cars typically come with their own transponder, shouldn't have to bring yours along.

I looked at info on their transponder. IIRC it showed $10/day Plus the tolls... Um, yeah I'll do 72/Higgins RD from the airport/etc. LOL

Auto-x information above has been updated! Follow the instructions and the link provided to register for the Sunday auto-x. We can have more than the 8 spots provided if more than 8 of us sign up and there are available spots, so don't feel that this is limited to only 8 Reunion participants.

As noted above, register BEFORE September 10th to get one of the 8 reserved spots!!

Another good route out to the hotel from O'hare would be to take 19/Irving Park Rd out as well, since that will take you down around the south end of the airport. You would take that across to Barrington Road and head north for 4 miles to SVO Central. Higgins has a couple jogs in it that can be confusing, while Irving is a little straighter shot. You certainly have toll-less options, just wanted to point that one out.

Awesome! Thanks!

Quick update, the deadlines for both the Hotel and Auto-X are very quickly approaching! Both 'blocks' of rooms/spaces at both places will only be open till this Friday 9/10. So, if you haven't put in your reservations yet, please do so ASAP. If you wait till after Friday, you are taking some chances of not getting a room at SVO Central or getting onto the Auto-X course.

If anyone has any questions/concerns, please put it up here or send me a PM. Looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple weeks!

Today is the last day to book a room/auto-x spot under the 'blocks' that I set up, just so you know.

I did check with the host hotel today and they still have room availability for the Reunion weekend. If you ask nicely, they may still give out the SVOCA room rate.

The auto-x is filling up, looks like they have filled 48 of 75 spots, so don't wait much longer if you plan on participating on Sunday!! They warned that they have sold out all 75 spots at their previous events this summer and have had a waiting lists.

As always, if you have any questions, please post them up here or PM me. Thanx!

Saw a link come across FB lemme see if I still have the site saved. They had all kinds of stuff. I figured it would be coming direct from China, and take months. Only took a couple weeks, was DHL to USPS from NY. Checked around online for the website and looked at the conditions of sale, etc to make sure it was a legit site/item.
A buddy of mine found 2 camp shirts at Goodwill several years ago for $20 each, and gave them to me . Looked like they were never worn. They were the high dollar ones (David Carey) one is a white 50th, other is black. IIRC CJs had them on their site for like $75 each at the time.

Ha, the fact that they have matching shorts is a hoot! Might have to pick me up one of those shirts though. Thanx for the links.
