Yes, it's that time of year when we think of Christmas, the empty space in your wallet, and the fact it gets cold in Chicago in January. Well, gas is sorta cheap right now, so why not waste your first day of the new year driving aimlessly around Chicago for no reason other than tradition!

<h2>What? </h2>

This years theme- Sign, Sign, everywhere a sign

<h2>When? </h2>

As usual, meet at 11 a.m. 1/1/09 with the event starting at Noon. All score sheets will be turned into the endpoint by 3 p.m. or penalty points will added. Get there really late and you may be declared winner by default! 

<h2>Where? </h2>

Remember when Northerly Island used to be known as Meig's Field? Well, the old control tower has a parking lot directly adjacent to its south side. The simple way to find it is to drive toward the Adler Planetarium and turn right on Linn Drive. Drive until you see the ODHDC Checkpoint sign. There you will find the Committee Odious for registration. If you're really confused about where this is, please Google Chicago Merrill C Meigs Field, 1521 S. Linn White Drive, Chicago. It's really simple, though, and the same place we have started for the last several years.

<h2>What to bring</h2>

$20. Ransom fee per car to register.

A car, truck, or SUV that will run and has something that will pass as a heater is a generally considered a plus. 

Some sort of map might be good. 

And it would be helpful if least one person in your vehicle can read and tell colors apart. 

<h2>Endpoint:</h2>

New endpoint this year. We're going to Portillos at Clark and Ontario. The party room is reserved for the ODHDC. Like all our other downtown endpoints, you are on your own for street parking so adjust your arrival time appropriately. Once there, order off the regular Portillos menu.

Answers, Hero Driver award, and winners (?) Begin at 3:15. Cool vintage trophies thanks to Rich Cwik!

<h2>Questions?</h2>

As usual, nobody takes responsibility for anything to do with this event. I can, however, probably get a question answered if you email   Try writing an email to:  <A HREF="mailto:larry@vairshop.com?subject=Need Information about ODHDC">Larry Claypool</A>

No doubt a number of the email addresses I have are no longer valid, so please forward this along to other possible victims who could be suckered in wasting their time with the rest of us.
