I'm in New York from Tuesday - Friday, but I land at 12:45 on Friday, so I could probably make Roselle. I am going to Selena's nephew Troy's birthday party on Saturday, so I can't make Lombard.

Frank, you know my routine.

1. Monday-Westchester
2. Weds.-Elmhurst (last one of the year)
3. Friday-Downers (last one of the year)
4. Saturday-Lombard (last one 9-12-09 but think this Sat. going to Da Grove for huge drag racing event that I am going to try to get some of you guys to go to).

Johnny and Tank anyone else, what do you guys think about hitting this Monster Drag Racing event at da grove this Saturday, Sept 5. I am really leaning towards making this with my brother Dino and maybe Greg (needs to own a vette again), as I only hit one drag race event all season and usually I am good for about 3 events.

This is the grand daddy of them all except when the big boys roll into town at Rt 66 Joliet every June. And no, I won't have my laptop at the dragstrip!

PFrank, didn't mean to exclude you but I know you won't go to a drag racing event based on previous discussions!

I will be at Weschester tomorrow night. Jimmy I am 50/50 about going to the Drags Saturday... I would rather hang at Lombard as its closer and more relaxing, but we'll see.

Friday night I will play by ear I guess. If I can get anyone to go to Roselle , or maybe Rolling Geadows. Johnny if you can get to my house Friday afternoon, Roselle is very close so might not be that bad.

Pfrank, if you have any energy left Friday when you get back in town let me know about going.

I'll be at the US Open tennis all day on Thursday and probably drinking that night, so I will see how I feel when I get back in town on Friday.

Great turnout at Westchester tonight and great hanging with Tank, JasonBlueBlast, Glenn, brother Dino, Greg (who needs to get a vette) and a cast of other characters who I have befriended over the car shows over the years!

Even had a beer in the parking lot while enjoying a cigar!

Weschester has turned out to be a nice cruise-night. Plenty of parking even if you don't get there early.

Its great that there a at least 2 great cruise nights on Monday Nights (Westchester and Hoffman Estates)!

Tank,

Get ready for our huge Superbowl of Drag Racing Extravaganza this Saturday Night (I don't want to hear any excuses as I am sending a car for you as you know)!

Weather looks perfect for the last Elmhurst cruise night of the summer tommorrow night (Weds.) 9-2-09.

Perfect weather for the last Elmhurst Cruise night tonight (Weds. Sept 2) and will be meeting Len, Johnny, my brother Dino, and a cast of other characters up at Emhurst for what should be a HUGE turnout!

For those interested in this you will want to get there by 5PM to be assured of a decent parking space!

Great time tonight hanging out with Johnny, Len, Glenn, Greg (needs to buy a vette), Joe Scafide, Strat, Jason Blue Blast, Dino, Bobby Casterjohn, and all the other Elmhurst regulars, which turned out to be a picture perfect Septmeber evening and great way to end the last Elmhurst cruise night of the summer!

Same here James. A great way to end the season would have been you doing a burnout in the middle of the street with that baddass Camaro. Then they would take away Chevy night next year, like they did with Vette night.

Rolling Meadows? Haven't been able to make many cruises this summer. I heard RM has moved, where is it now?

Thanks!
