I'm in Rockford, I don't really hang out here though..... but it would be cool if a few of us started something. I know there are a couple others in the Rockford area so maybe they will chime in.

Cool, I am actually in LP but I just tell people I live in Rockford since most know where that is. I am off Mulford and Windsor, I'll keep an eye out.
BTW Ridgebackphatty, I have got to see your C5

I'm in Rockford.

Sundays....Hooter's at 6pm
Beef-A-Roo on Riverside....after that

Rockford pretty much sucks. Too many people just doing nothing but talking in parking lots....no real action. Mostly a bunch of kids with Sunfire's or Cavaliers. There are some nice cars out here but i's hard to get them all in one place.

RidgeBackPhatty, looks sweet!
DarkC5, I'm usually not in town on Sundays so that sucks but if I am I will stop by to at least Beef a Roo since it is right behind me.
Anyone else from/near Rockford?

There are alot of fast cars here in Rockford, but nobody comes out much anymore like they use to. Cops have cracked down alot after some people died from street racing because the racers did not know how to drive, or have any business street racing. You can find some cool cars later at night. Hey Ridgebackphatty thats Troy's old car, there is a ton of money in that thing, I was at byron when he was running it, LOW 10's then.
