Default Chicago Shoutout

Spring time is right around the corner (or well it seems like it is, hopefully there won't be any crazy snow out of no where!) so I figured we could get together a Chicago/NW Suburbs thread going. Post up any meets you want to get going or shows you suggest. I live in Elk Grove Village and theres a few shows around here. A lot of import stuff though it seems like, they will always have huge meets but I never can seem to find any big meets unless its a open house at a shop like Speed Inc or something like that. I want to try and change that this summer and get some huge crazy f-body meets to show those imports who's got the real man cars out there haha! So do I have any soldiers ?

DATE AND LOCATION IS SET!
March 23rd Friday Night 7:30 PM @ Streets of Woodfield in Schaumburg, IL

IF, and thats a big IF, I can get the ole lady to finish the paint work on my junk it will be ready to roll out till the bottom end blows. If not, then well I guess I will just go out with the primer patches in place... All go and no show??? Anyhow, I am in for something.

I am in the Hoffman Estates area, but work out of EG. Should do a tilted kilt meetup or something along those lines. There used to be a huge Fbody scene in this area.

you want "meets", or just plain show & tell? There is a nice cruise on Friday nights in Palatine- at the old menards which is currently wolfs flea market. I live down the street from there and usually is a nice turnout for f-bodies. Hell, maybe I might have a post-show get together.

Strats is a bit played out.... Too many people who think they have the king **** street car. You cant roll in there camming without people mean mugging you and expecting you to run, and WAY too many PO POs out in the area.
