I roam around there all the time. People still frequent the Wendy's by Rt 38, but it's usually dominated by idiots. Saw a few T/A's up there recently, but I try to stay away from there. Definitely be interested in meeting some locals.

Yeah When ever I happen to go by that wendys I usually just see like 10 evos sitting around in the parking lot then going around and being idiots all night long. Usually out towards Elgin there is always a bunch of mustangs mostly GTs but the occasional cobra.

I haven't been up to Elgin in a long while and need to check it out. A few buddies of mine head up that way, one has a white Silverado with a 383. Other has a couple of Mustangs. I used to see one Cobra around. Fogot the guy's name, licence is BOOSTED. It's since become a trailer queen.

BOOST12... he is nothing to worry about . The car is on a trailer due to falling apart all the time.

Here's some info at my website: http://www.ls1turbo.com

I don't take it out much other than to have some fun around the area. The Street tires don't hook and I end up just spinning em and making a bunch of noise. But it's fun. I need to get a couple of new drag radials. My old ones are unusable cuz they're pretty bald and old.
