Yeah, as long as it doesnt fizzle out. Tried to get some things going last year and when the day came around we had like 2 guys, me and one other guy, and we just said to hell with it.

My car isnt in show condition at the moment, so a cruise in or just a meet up would be ideal.

Alright so let's figure this out before the weather gets even nicer out than it already is! What is it like 50 and sunny today haha? Would anyone be down for meeting at Streets of Woodfield just because it's a pretty well known area and then figure out some stuff from there?

Alright well I think if anything we all show up at Streets of Woodfield one night. I know there is usually parking around there and it used to be a pretty hot spot for all sorts of cars on Friday/Saturday nights. A lot of bikes hang out up there too. If anything it could just be somewhere to get things started and work from there. I think that's one of the biggest problems stuff like this has is actually just getting activity from people and organization. We could all talk more about it once we are all there instead of having to chit chat back and forth on the forum.

Might have to test the waters at streets. Expecially for those in the group that might be running loud exhaust, no front plate, and any other minor infractions. I know the Cops shut down the huge friday night things for awhile as too many Doorknobs doing holeshots and doughnuts in the lot with all the pedestrian traffic. Not sure what its like as of late.

But whatever is clever. There is a decent lot by Hooters, Tilted Kilt, and many other places in the area tho.

Yeah I hear ya except I don't think everyone here is stupid enough to be pulling any sort of stunts like that. You do have a point though that Hooters and Tilted Kilt aren't far at all. Tilted Kilt is a pretty small lot though I don't think there would be enough room to even park next to each other with it being a busy night and all.
