Update on Winter Club Activities

LATE NOTICE, BUT RESCHEDLED DUE TO SNOW STORM!!!!!!

NICC meeting January 28^st at "The Hot Rod Barn" in Morris IL.

Even though it has been a warm and basically "snow free" winter thus far I know I have the dreaded "Chevelle-less fever". You know that feeling when you want to do something but you don't know what or where. While at the NMCA show in November I approached the guys at "The Hot Rod Barn" and asked them if they gave garage tours to clubs during the winter months. Needless to say they were very interested in having the NICC come out and see their facility.

 "The Hot Rod Barn" is a 22,000 sq foot facility in Morris IL that can literally do anything you need on your car. From full restorations to dyno testing, they do it all. If you want to see some of what they do just check out their website at http://www.thehotrodbarn.com and you will lead through all their areas of expertise. A few members attended their car show last summer and said the place was really nice.

If you are interested, Rick Montalto is getting people together for breakfast in Yorkville before the outing. He will have a reservation at "Southern Belles" for between 8:00 and 8:30am. Then you can drive down Rte. 47 to Morris when you are finished with breakfast. Rick is asking that you call his cell phone (630-940-8797) by Friday morning the 27th and RSVP for breakfast. That way he can give them a good count. Info for the resturant is listed below. Southern Belles is located on the S/E corner of Rte. 47 and Rte. 126 in Yorkville.

NICC meets February 25^th at the Race & Performance Expo at Pheasant Run in St. Charles

For our February meeting we are going to try something a little different and attend an organized show. We are going to attend the Race & Performance Expo being held at Pheasant Run in St. Charles. The show runs that weekend and we will just be attending. We will meet for breakfast at 8am at a local restaurant and when we finish we will head over to Pheasant Run to attend the show. We are still working on the exact restaurant, but there are lots of places within 5 miles of the expo center that we can go to.

 The expo is open from 9-5 on Saturday and has a $10 entry fee. Parking is free and you can stay for an hour or for the whole day once you are there.

The February newsletter will have all the info. For more info on this event check out their web site at

Hot Rod Power Tour 2012

Several members are planning on doing part of the Hot Rod Power Tour. The tour starts on Sat. June 2, 2012 in Detroit. On Sunday June 3^rd they will drive to Muskegon, Mi. Andy, Dennis, and Wes already have reservations for June 2nd and 3rd in Muskegon. Our plan is to drive to Muskegon on Sat. and see the sites and relax. On Sunday, we will go to the Tour and check it out. We will leave Monday and return home. If other members would like to join us, we are staying at the Holiday Inn at 939 Third Street, Muskegon, Mi 49440. The phone is (231) 722-0100. Most of the hotels in the area fill up quickly when the Tour comes to town. If you have questions, please call Andy, Dennis or Wes. Our wives will also be attending. It should be a good weekend, hope to see you there.

Congratulations are in order…

I just wanted to let everyone know that some members of the NICC family have been featured in a few different magazines in the last few months.

First are Chris and Lynda Jacobs. They have actually been in two different magazines in January 2012 with their Blue 66' Chevelle. If you get a chance check out them out at:

Next, our old friend, John Sonnefeldt also has his car in the January 2012 issue of Popular Hot Rodding. Story is John did not even know it was there. Someone is using old photos from when he was showing his car at SEMA a few years back. Rick found it and brought it to our attention at the Xmas party. Any press coverage would be OK with me.

 And lastly, the son of members Mike and Vicki Black has made it big. Any of you that have been around a long time remember watching young Brian grow up and occasionally watch his dad race. Well, racing is really in Brian's blood.

Brian was on the cover of GM High Tech Performance in December and he has a 3-4 page article on him and his car in the January issue. He is not driving a Chevelle, but it is a GM car. The reason Brian is on the cover is he won a little drag race that GM sponsors. It is called the "Gm High - Tech Performance shut your Face Race". Just one of those bragging rights races you hear about all the time.

 Just how fast does Brian's Pontiac go, well in October he ran some 1/4 mile passes....7.89 @175 MPH, 5.10 @ 140 in the 1/8 on my Hoosier 275/60/15 drag radial...

I also just found a link for the 2011 ACES convention Mother's car show series. Take a look at it is you have a chance. You will see that Mark Witczak and Floyd Drinkwine are in several shots throughout the clip. You really can not miss me in my Hawaiian shirt and floppy hat.
