I'll still be hitting Photos often; been going for over 8 years now. There's still a few of us regulars that head out there. It wasn't really much of a "show" last year, but still a cool place just to hang out and meet up with some regular locals. Over the years I've gotten to know a lot of people there, some that still show up somewhat regularly, so I still have a good time just bsing for a while, even if there aren't too many cars out. Good part is, it's easier to get a decent parking spot without the huge crowd.
I think it'll pick up again eventually, it's had ups and downs with attendance over the years, and it's always bounced back in the past.

Never had a cruise tho... Just me and my buddy cruising around.. but he has a s2000... gives those Mustangs a run for their money tho..

I don't pick on anyone. Matt challenged me last year, when we met up he changed his mind. I didn't bust his ***** at all! I was just offering for fun, no harm. I would rather do the track, but if the right situation came up I'm game.
I wouldn't race with a 100 goofs lurking around.
I was out all last year, and this year should be better. I would like to meet up with you and see you out this year. Strats is my place, on North ave. I know most of the cops in that town, not a problem at all.
Btw, you didn't answer any of my questions in the other thread? Oh, I picked up my turbos today!
Andy.

so far I have found schaumburg/streets of woodfield to really be one of the better spots.
you get your sure of kids and rice, but their are some cool cars and hot chics.
Plus the cops are not a pain in the ***.
thats why like I said in an early post, I hit that area and crystal lake weekly car show!

I didn't answer your questions because a few parts are potentially being changed due to availability.
I made a few blasts on the street with my car last year, I can handle it. Pick on me not some 10 second guy, I'm already in the 9's.

At the end of the season last year my car was barely in the 9s Andy. When I invited you to come out and meet up with us at 4 corners I wasn't expecting you to bring out a friggin race car like you have. Now I see you are gonna run turbos? Damn, I can't hang with that unless you want to give me some land. My car hasn't changed much from last year other than it is heavier and has a bigger cam in it. It is still a cam only car on a small dry shot.

I was having issues last year, you would have given me a run for my money! How's the bottle working out for you?
One of the biggest reasons I'm going turbo, is that I can drive the car more. It will see ALOT more street this year. I'll see you around when it warms up. Andy.

I would have been more worried about running Matt than you. If I would have called you out I would have felt like I was picking on you! I gave you my set up, now you know what you have to change. Andy.
