Please keep me posted on any future Northern Illinois gatherings!
My car is still semi-assembled and won't be road ready until mid May or June time frame.
Thanks!

Yes, sooner the better, just make sure it's above 70, sunny, and in a centralized location. Chicago is a 6 hr drive for Curt and I, and in a C3 that's hard to do.

Anyone have any thoughts on the 17th or 31st of May? Weekend of the 24th is Memorial Day weekend and the park will probably be over crowded.

Im in Millington. Vette is in pieces but I will show up in the boat just to meet some local vette guys and check out the cars. There is a big parking area down by the boat ramps with picnic tables and maybe a shelter.

Starved Rock is awesome!Very nice place,and the little town of Utica is pretty neat w/some cool old-time style stores.I'm about 2.5 hours from there.
Here's a few pics of the park........





I may be able to get my friend Freddie Z from Rockford down w/his wife in their 65,or his 60,and John chimmed in.I may know a few more around here.
Once ya all get a date......you should holler over in the other sections,and see,if any of them want to get involved.
