Default Weekly car shows- IL

so since the car shows are starting up i thought i would check out where some of the ones you guys go to. most of the shows i go to there aren't a lot of fbody's, more older muscle(absolutely nothing wrong with that though). actually there were quite a few vettes at the Westchester shows.
heres a list of a few that i remember from last season, not sure if they're going on this year or on the same days.
Monday from like 5-9pm in Westchester at 31st & wolf rd in the Dominick's parking lot
Thursday nights in downtown Westmont
Friday from 5-9pm in Downtown Downers grove on main st

anyone else know of any good shows in like the Southwest suburbs?

2nd Saturday of every month until October in Bloomington Normal

5:30-9pm in the Target parking lot at the Shoppes of College Hills right along I-55 Business Loop (Veteran's Parkway)

typically 2-300 cars every month (mostly domestics and muscle)

also an unorganized one in the parking lot at the old K's Merchandise (along Veteran's Parkway) usually gets a crowd on Friday and Saturday nights...15-30 cars with some cruising going on.

Meijer on Friday, Photo's on Saturday. Some people have a vendetta against Photo's...some of us like it just fine.
