Lacon (30min north), but close enough. There's quite a few of us that are in the area.

We had organized a few get togethers this year. One that took us from Peoria to Bloomington's Hooters. I think we had about 15 cars show up. Was a great time. Next year should prove to be bigger and better. How long have you been in the area?

I'm on that board and this one as well. I run around peoria a lot since Brimfield is just a few miles out of town. I'm getting the itch for next year already and join the trans am club we had on our hooters outing.

Thinking of keepn my car at the house insted of storage this year. Trying to save some money. If we get some decent weather might take it out for a bit. Met up with Shawn
(2Fast02) a few weeks ago. Seen some rice out by the Rave but not a whole lot of action. What do you do in the Air Force?

Another Peoria area member here. I would definitely like to do another Hooters meet like we did before in the spring. My only dilemma is what car to bring. I wonder if the GTO could handle the car hauler?
