A Saturday cruise would be great. A whole line of killer rides at a stop light is always a good sight.

NW In here, Griffith/Schererville.

91 Formula undergoing floor pan rebuild for LS1 drivetrain.

Lansing Cruise Nite is next Sat the 8th. I've got to work nites though, so I'm out, not worth calling off on an overtime week.....

Blue Top is still good to hit, decent on Fri. nite, but Sat is the bigger nite for sure. Food is a hell of a lot better since it reopened as well.

Maybe we should all try and get together at Blue Top on Aug 15th? Gives everyone a couple weeks to work it out or get some other folks to come.

I went to the Valpo car show last night but didn't bring the Hugger out. I think i saw just as many new Hellcats as i did LS1 F-Bodys. I didn't know the event was that big, almost to many people for my liking.

I was there in my black 97 Z28 around 8-9pm. I don't think I saw a single other 4th gen F-body there. It was packed, I'd never been there.

Wish I would have looked at this thread earlier. I live in Plymouth and have a turbo shop in Grovertown. Wanatah isn't much of a drive.
