Anyone from the north cook area like Arlington Heights, Des Plaines, Mt. Prospect area on here??
Starting in late April (doesnt officially start till may though i think). There probably will be an Fbody or two or ten at the McDonalds cruise night every Friday. I know myself and Schultzp85 frequent it often.

Eww the Gurnee one is full of ricers every Friday and Saturday night... my friend has a 99 Civic Si and that's all he talks about... they are already starting too!!!

I think the actual fast cars should find a better location, Gurnee Mills is garbo anyways..

Edit: Looking back, if you go when its light out (May, June, July), there's actually some nice hot rods and Vette's, etc... but once the sun goes down and that hot rod club leaves, is when the ricers come out. lol

What's up Nick. I know you've been busy doing things to your car, but trust me I've got something for you.

Are we going to do the same as last year as far as heading to the Speed Inc. open house or what?
