Anybody going to Palatine yet, or is it still too early for that show?

I was at the Rosemont spot on Friday, but the turnout was only about 3 of us.

I heard something about that at the end of last season but didn't know it was for sure. But I agree, Palatine was my limit so I too will be taking a pass on Mundelein. Looks like I'll be sticking to the Niles or Rosemont spots on Fridays now, I just wish they were bigger events.....maybe they'll grow now that Palatine is gone. I miss the Kirchoff and Meijer spots, those were some awesome shows.

Hopefully I will be able to get out this next week. I was one too many drinks into a bottle of Sailor Jerrys rum by 7 this friday...

I say we try to find a small food joint with a nice lot. I found a spot over the weekend that I never thought of not too far from my house except the restaurant is mainly made for people that work in the industrial park and it closes at 6 on the week days and closed on weekends. I'm not sure if they would be too happy with us there when its closed.

If they are closed I don't see why it would be an issue. Cept eg cops suck.

I am out on strats guys, not my thing! Way to many kids there and stupid **** going on, woodfield was cool till we got kicked. I say we just pick a spot and if we can get enough cars together we go on a highway trip with a little friendly action.

We did a north side/south side meet up a few years ago that was fun. Too bad Little88 still hasnt gotten his junk done, cause he organized the southside boys, and we got the north side boys together and met up down by them. But the drive there and back was the best part. A few friendly runs here and there. We left 4 wide from a toll booth... that was quite interesting.

Why not just pick the hooters in Schaumburg. they have a fairly large parking lot and off to the side there is usually an empty lot as well with low street visability. Meet up, BS for awhile, then roll out to wherever.

I havent heard about the rosemont show..

Strats is fun if your looking to find a run, but other than that, I am with SweetC5. Not my scene. Most of the people there aren't even legal to drink, no offense to those in this thread. But for some of us older guys, it gets annoying. Seems like all it takes is for a spark and something is gonna pop off there. Last time I was there someone was jumpin on hydros and almost hit the group I was there with, including my car. Jail time was all I was thinking.... Could have been ugly... Havent been back since.

Yeah I hear ya guys. It was the only other place I could think of where a lot of cars would be at that time when Streets kicked us out. I'm down to go anywhere though, Hooters has a good lot cept their food sucks *** I think. I'd rather be down for Titled Kilt in Schaumburg!

Dont have to eat there. Just use the side lot for a meet n greet. I am thinking it isnt even hooters lot, but usually empty at 7 ish on a friday. The kilt has No parking whatsoever on Fridays. Last few times I went there for some grub or a drink or 2 we did laps trying to park.

Like I said, in the evening on a friday this lot is empty and I have attended a meet here before.. Or we can use the Hooters lot as well. As long as we arent reving out or doing shittys we should be ok.

There's not many big lots around any speed shops plus they are all mostly closed after 5. I say we do the Hooters meet in Schaumburg and go for a cruise. But now where to cruise to?!

It is another option. But I have a feeling it will be similar to the strats thing.

Not if there's fbodies or muscle only. As long as imports are not there, that it would be all good. The lot is always empty at night and on the weekends.

Or the Brickyard Mall if you guys want to create it, huge lots but not sure if security would mind, I do my photoshoots there with no problem but not sure if they would handle alot of cars........
