the next meeting.

i think that they are planning the next meeting for mid august--if anyone has any ideas where to have it(keeping in mind that the distance that we would all have to travel is not the same--there are people from Peoria and a few of us from N.W.In that will also be coming)! the last meeting that we had was in Utica at one of the state parks.that was a lot of fun but there were only a handfull of people that actually came. i would like to have a good turnout for the next meet.so if anyone has ideas post them and let us know!!!!

Probably going to do some furniture moving at school this weekend because next weekend or some time I'm helping mean 5.7 do a tranny swap. I gotta get all of my junk out before the land lady throws it out.

This Tues at Plainfield on main street aka US 30 is going to be a cruise again. I'm going to try and grab a parking spot. Come on down so I can see your maro.

kinnda off the topic, but I was wondering where are some good spots people race in the chiagoland aera? I know of a few places people sit in a parking lot, but I only know of Doughty(Spelling?) Road where you park on the side and watch misc. cars race(till the cops come and stop it). There any other good ones around?

This is a public site. I doubt you're going to be able to get anyone to spill. Especially if the cops aren't bothering them. Stick to the spots where people just sit, and listen. If you really want to race it'll find you. You'd best bring your wallet though.

While working on my car I have been continually running into problems. I am way behind schedule and need some help!

Would anyone in the naperville area be willing to help me finish up my car?? I have to finish the following...

Replace distributer gear,
Reassemble intake manifold-injectors-runners-plenume-throttle body,
install LCA and panhard.


These are my plans for Sunday afternoon. Can anyone help me so that I can get my car on the road to eat ricers?

I'm probably going to Bloomingdale Fri. There is a McDonalds on the corner of Bloomingdale Rd. (called Roselle rd when you get out of Bloomingdale) and Lake st.

I have a black '89 IROC.

From Golf, take RT 53 south and get off on Lake st going west until the corner of Bloomingdale and Lake. Or take Roselle rd south to lake st.

What does your car look like?

I got my car running!! I want to meet up with some of you guys. Anyone want to meet in the naperville area on Friday or Saturday? There are car shows every Friday night down-town Downers Grove. They take upi the whole down-town area. we could meet somewheres else and then cruise trough the show. It would also be nice to burn some rice

There's also stuff going on at Blue Top, that's a bit of a ride, and Super Chevy show at Route 66. Lots to do, can't deceide on anything.

I've never been to downtown Downers. Where's that at? I go to 4 corners a lot, or the Taco Bell ***** Mecca on Rickert &75th.

The show in Downers Grove is in the downtown area right on main street. The turn out is usually pretty large. I would not mind meeting at the 4 corners and then cruising to the show. It is usually 5-7:30ish pm.

How about everyone who can, get to the four corners (NE corner of 75th and Lemont road) around 6 pm and we can cruise to the Downers Grove show.

Hey guys,

I haven't responded to this board before. I'm involved with the group from Rockford but I'm located about 30 miles west of Aurora. If anything gets organized out that way, I would probably be interested in coming.

The North Central Illinois group is getting together on August 24th in Sterling. Let me know if anyone wants any details. I have a flyer I can e-mail.

Later!

Sorry I was not there Friday

Did anyone show up at the 4 corners last friday? I was unable to come due to the death knock

Yes, my poor old 305 has developed a rod knock which has out me out of comission probably until next summer

It is possible that I could get it out by late september if anyone wanted to hep me pull/replace the engine

Didn't you just get done working on that engine? That sucks dude. Yeah, I was there. I gave up pretty quick since I was about 15 mins late and went to the cruise. Very cool. It was a lot bigger than I expected, lots of variety too.
