danville has a dyno day every year and fllece put on a pull along with danville last year. i drove 6hr to go to a pull in indiana last summer, so who knows where i will go this year for a pull
Count me in on a meet. It takes me 10 minutes to get from my house across the I-80 bridge into illinois. I know a few of the guys with ISP and have been to some of the closer pulls like amboy, Cambridge, milladgville and the pull they put on at the whiteside county fair. Keep the meet info coming.
