MOCNA


Illini Mets is proud to announce a MOCNA Regional Meet to be held in conjunction with the Micro/Mini Car World Meet, being held August 21-22, 2010 in Crystal Lake, Illinois. Including the Metropolitans, there will be almost 500 small cars to enjoy! This is a two-day show; please plan to attend both days.

We will start our festivities on Thursday night August 19th, 2010 with a welcome reception. Friday, August 20, 2010 will include a driving tour of Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, stops at some car museums and lunch along the way someplace. As the date approaches, a final schedule will be announced. Saturday and Sunday will be the show in Crystal Lake, Illinois.

Our Metropolitans will be included in the Micro/Mini classes and will be eligible for Micro/Mini trophies at the Saturday night Awards Presentation. We will have our own Metropolitan "People's Choice" and "Concours" Judging with our trophy presentation at noon Sunday. If you plan to have your car Concours judged, please notify Rex Hamil at 248-666-9455 or Gary Bosselman at 815-389-9500 prior to the meet.
