UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just got off the phone with Tom from CED and let me tell you... I'M ******* STOKED! i apologize in advance about keeping everyone in the dark, the reason why this has taken longer than normal to hammer out is because Tom has been in contact with GMPP and they want to attend this as well. just to let you all know... the weekend of the 4th-6th (first weekend) in april will work for Tom, but we don't know about GM yet.
GM wants to bring down the performance rig (usually has a couple show/performance cars in there too), engineers as well so they are on hand for people to talk to and there has been mention of products that aren't yet available for display.
needless to say, if this happens (and it will damnit!) saturday's plans will be changed. this will not be a 2-3 hour get together at CED, this will be an all day event, starting at 8am and going till like 5-6 (which is fine with me cuz i'll probably be buying stuff to put in my car that day from CED
). now don't fret, this still puts us good for our BBQ that we have planned. poker runs/cruising we can do on friday as well.
i'll keep ya updated.
NHCOBALT - you said you could give other hotel info, stuff more centralized? Tom gave me 4 hotels but they are more or less around CED. I don't think anyone has a problem with driving, thats half the fun of these things
whereabouts would be nice, i am familiar with the chicagoland area, i do have an IPASS 
(and boy did that **** tuna off.. hahahah)
yep that sounds correct.
speakin of dyno... who's got dyno information and can give me numbers to a couple of places. i would like to have that info too, so when Tom gets this set with GM, i can make the phone calls and get stuff to you guys faster.
