State Wide Poker Run

Would anyone be interested in doing a state wide poker run through IL sometime in the spring? I've been itching to put one of these on for a while and think it would be a blast. 24 hours to hit 4 spots all over the state and get back to the start point for the final card.

Here's what I had in mind....

Start and Finish: Atomic Fabrication in Joliet, IL
North Stop: Rockford, IL
West Stop: Quad Cities
East Stop: Danville, IL
South Stop: Cairo, IL
Cost $20 for one person, $35 for 2 person team in 1 car
Prize: 50% of the take, in cash

It would take SOME effort to get to each place but I think it could easily be done in 24 hours, even doing close to the speed limit. We'd like to get at least 30 people to make this fun, and everyone's invited, so spread the word!

Paying for the supplies and paying the people that are going to sit in each city all day LOL. Depending on the # of entrants the purse can always go up.

What? No Stop in East St. Louis or Sauget.
You'll miss the Sauget Ballet.
The Poor Girls are just trying to work their way thru college.

Roughly 950 miles and 14 1/2 hrs of driving.
Big State.

Good Luck!!!

Race for the BLAGOJEVICH CUP
