Default Surrounding suburbs of Mt. Prospect

Hey I live in Mt. Prospect and almost never get the chance to check out other muscle cars like mine (2000 formula). Just wondering if some guys wanted to set a meeting point around here one day and we'd all meet up and check out each other's rides? Heard some guys go to Photos or Woodfield, if you're interested just post up a message.

Is your car black? If so, I've probably seen it a few times. Not too many NHRA edition Formulas around here.

I've seen one in the Glenview area on Waukegan before, it was heavily modded. Huge stall, big tires, aftermarket rear, full exhaust, cammed, etc. Was that you? If it was, you've got a badass ride, sir.

I usually hit Photo's every saturday if the weather is nice. I can't make it tonight though due to a family gathering at the in-laws.

There's a car show every friday night on Kirchoff road in Rolling Meadows, if the weather's nice. To get there just go west on central until after Arlington Heights road there's a fork where you want to go right. After you go right take that all the way down to New Wilke(i think) and turn right. Next light turn left on Kirchoff and it will be about a mile down on the left side.

my car is in glenview.

there's a black nhra formula in glenview, guy i know, not sure if he's on the boards. doesn't sound like the one you saw Ryan/rpm ws6, he's got TT2's on it last time is saw it but that was last year.

i'd like to hit up the kirchoff show soon, always a nice show in the past. my car should be back out this week.

What's up Sean! Been a long time since I've seen you around. Haven't seen your car since you made all the changes either. Sounds like it should be seriously badass at this point.
