Sounds like you had a blast! Sorry we missed it. Even ZRDon made it out? WOW. Mikey decided to have a meltdown right as Carol got home at 5:30 and we ended up eating local at 7 and then visiting friends. The new joy of fatherhood I guess. We'll see you all soon I promise!

It was great to meet some of you last night, I should have parked over in vette corner! I definitely saw you guys run on 83 last night, I was sitting at the light going west bound on north ave. Looked awesome!

Yeah, I see them sitting around there all the time as well. But how many times are you sitting side by side first in line?

You definitely had the bigger cajones last night, I shut it down a little before you, I wouldnt be surprised if you hit 140-150.

Wow, all these corvette events sure do make time fly. I'll be there again today, but I'll have my 01 Z06 there. Maybe it's a good idea to do like last week and everyone meet on the side and then all of us move into the show section at the same time. Don't move without me this time! Ruben

Good idea.

Lets just meet up on the side again till we all get there. I'll probably be there around 6ish.

I'll be coming down with Jeff most likely, I'll try and peel him away from Dancing with the Stars this time. Maybe my neighbor will come with the black Z06 again.

Great show tonight and a few of the Weschester faithful showed up tonight including myself, my brother Dino, Pete Z06, Batman (Glenn P.) Pete Z06s (buddy), and Rubin in his second Z06, a very clean 2001 red Z. On the way home I was able to catch up to Pete and Rubin and rode with them for only a block or so and within that block it was probably the first time in Chicagoland history, that 3 C5 Z06s traveling by themselves, were cruising together one red, one white and one blue!

Once again the MAYOR lined up about 10 cars (one being BATMAN'S Showstopper) and had them launch in utter madness and sheer entertainment, along with one sport bike where the dude rode on the handlebars, smoking the tires for about 500 feet! As long as the MAYOR and POLICE sponser these burnouts this bar none is the best cruise night in Chi-Town and the fact that it is on a Monday night is really a great way to kick off the week!

Good to see the guys that showed! It was cool to get picked to do a burnout too! I have to admit I didn't want to chance anything going wrong with my car 2 days before going to the CI...so I just did a simple burnout...not too much smoke! It felt decent and sounded good! Thanks Pete and Rubin for taping it for me!

I'm gonna get arrested one of these days coming home from this show. Ruben escorted me to 290 and he made me speed again

Glenns car drew all the attention as usual
You need to make copies of answers to FAQ's and just leave them by your car. Where did you get those wheels painted? Where did you get those smoked lights? Where did you get those seats?

Dont feel bad about your burnout, it takes alot of heat for those Pilots to start smoking. I've done a couple burnouts around my house and I barely get any smoke going.

Pete, when you do get arrested (and you will ), don't forget to call your local neighboorhood gearhead Attorney (unless I get arrested at the same time)!

Pete, you would've had to be next to me for me to escort you!!! All I seen was your big eyes in my rearview mirror.

How do you expect us to get Video Jim without you or Randyvettes there!

I bet if one did a web search on Westchester car show for the last monday and this monday that there would be some online video taken by somebody as I am pretty sure there was last year!

I did a generic video from the first burnout show. I don't know how to get it to you guys though. Any pointers? Ruben
