My first experience at Strats (Villa Park, IL) A friend and I went cruising this past Saturday night, and decided to check out Strats Resturant and see what it was like. Now I know why you guys try to avoid this place. I actually had some tool ask me if my convertible came that way from the factory?? 
My freind told him that no it didn't, we got bored earlier in the day and broke out the sawzall.

Yeah strats used to be a good place to hang out. The cops scope the place now but every once in a while you get a good showing. But for every good car there seems to be 3 beaters. Or if your lucky you see a 16 year old with daddy's car trying to do a burnout and running into the median ha ha

Only went out there a few times over the years. From what I heard it really got ruined by too many people acting like tools and morons. Search around and you will find a video of Mustang doing just what bewilde86 said.

Strats is a DUMP! I refuse to go to that place at all cost! WAY too many young punks talking **** and getting drunk. I have the personality that feels it is best not to put myself in that type of environment to avoid jail time!
If you guys are looking for decent places, a group of us have been trying to get '4 corners' back on the map. Last weekend there was a decent amount of car, and there was even some vehicle acceleration competitions
(on a closed course with professional drivers of course).

They always have **** goin on...every Tuesdays is a car show (200 ish cars), and usually friday and saturday nights. 10 oclock ish
Like I said, we are trying to get it back on the map, if you are thinking there is 30 plus cars on the weekends your gonna be sadly mistaken. I have been there the past few weekends and the best part is no cops at all so far. The more people continue showing up then the better off the place will be

Nice. I was actually born in Downers Grove and spent the first 5 years of my life in Woodridge. My mom's side of the family is in Western Springs so I'll have to bring the Camaro down when I come visit.

I live in Glen Ellyn and occasionally drive past Strat's only to find alot of Imports/16 year olds in the lot. Doesn't really look like my kind of place.
We should however get a meet together and maybe go for a cruise. Or maybe even get 5-10 of us and we'll take back Strats!
