Default Hey Chicago Crew

The weather this weekend looks terrific (so far). Anybody up for an outing of some sort? JOHNNY, our Capo. Your good at getting these things started, any suggestions? It would be nice to get the cars out even if it's just to hook up for a road pop or something.

I like the idea of meeting up at the City Club Sat. or Sun. I'm open pretty much all weekend except for work on Sat morn. Just a thought, what do you guys think about driving up to Lake Geneva? Yes that's in WI but really only about 1-1/2hrs from lets say D&B's. It's a nice drive up Rt 12 through Fox Lake etc. It's a very nice area for those of you not fimiliar with it. Especially if the weather is nice. Let's hear some suggestions for those of you interested in getting together!!!!

If you're crossing the cheddar curtain, come by Road America. The MFBA is running their semi-annual HPDE up there, and spectators get in for $5 (for free if you volunteer to help with tower/start/tech/etc. for 2 hours). There are always a bunch of Vette's running. Good way to check it out and see if you'd like to run next year in April.

I will be @ the Real Street Drag event @ Great Lakes Dragway in Union Grove Wisconsin Saturday.
83 is also a good road to cruise up north.

The Mecum Collector car auction is this weekend. I was there to preview the cars with Jimmy / ECS Blown Zo6 this evening. Many nice cars there including this one:

Lot A12 A nice 69 Camaro.


Best of luck on the sale Jimmy.

I will be @ the Kenosha house sunday and can easily be convinced to cruise.

I am up for city club Sunday. I like the Lake Geneva suggestion, however Rte 12 is all torn up through all of Lake Zurich since they are putting the Rte 22 bypass..
