Well the HP Performance Corvettes Open House was today, that was sweet. But now that's over and everyone went home, anybody know about Strats near Schaumburg? (Restaurant) A friend of mine with a Cobra said he might go there tonight just to meet a few people then go cruise.. Always some nice rides at Strats on Friday and Saturday nights..

Yeah you did miss it, but I left about 7:30 ish and there were only about 30 cars there give or take. Still a good time. At least 4 Fbodys including me. Always next week. Should be one at Thornwoods in Woodale tonight, or maybe it starts next week. Its a bar too, so thats a bonus.
