You guys should get a good sized group together and cruise up to Detroit in August for the Woodward Dream Cruise. If you have never been to this event, it is a "must do" for car enthusiasts :yesnod:

Keep in mind, while the official cruise is Saturday August 17, the entire week before is hopping. We could even organize a joint Chicago-Detroit shootout at Milan Dragway for the Wednesday test and tune night.

I like your thinking! I'd be up for a cruise to Detroit. How about a Detroit cruise out to Chicago? We could head out to RT66.

I think its time you Chicago guys venture out of your city and head to Detroit. I have been to Chicago about 5 times for vette stuff in the past two years!! Detroit is only 4 hours away, just hop on 94 and you will be there in no time. And dont worry, you guys can get home before the street lights are on :D :D

In all seriousness though, you guys should come to Detroit for Woodward. It is the most amazing car event I have ever been to. You wouldnt think there were this many hot rods on the whole planet!!

Also, we do a OHIO cruise a few times a year that would take you on some of the best roads you will have ever driven on! I am talking non stop corners, curves, hills... It is like driving on an amazing roadcourse that takes 6 hours to make one lap of! It is some of the most fun driving I have ever experienced. IF you guys can keep up to the Detroit/Canada gang that is :lol: :lol:

Chi Town sounds like fun! I may be up for it. But woodward cruise is a must. Just don't do any burnouts (Like me) in front of the cops! Luckily the guy next to me in the front wheel drive car got the ticket :lol: :lol: :smash:

I was laughing at him.....Thats what you get for doing a burnout in a front wheel drive car! :smash: :smash:

I vote for a gathering at Dave & Busters or somewhere in the morning and then all blast out to Byron for a day at the drags, early on in the season April or May on one of the first 40 or 50 degree dry days. Caravan to the drags would be alot of fun. I figure Byron for at least one gathering with all the new heads, cam and N20 that will be going on everyone's car and Byron is one place you can go ***** out in a fast car and not get fruc ked with without having a rollbar! :smash:

Nitrovette

P.s.-I need to see if Bubblehead can get within 1 second of me now that he bought my N20! LOL

Nitro, I'm always up for some racing. The caravan to Byron would be awesome as well. The highway is pretty open on the way to Rockford so I guess some of us could do a top-end run on the way there :D

I'm also interested in the Woodward cruise. :)
