Northern Illinois ZR-1 Show??

[djpatrick35]

I know that I'm a newbie here, but I've noticed a lot of guys in the Chicagoland area. Therefore, I'd like to somehow get a meet going with other ZR-1 guys in the area.

Obviously with snow everywhere, it's not going to be anytime soon, but this also gives us time to get something together.

Maybe something involving Marc Hiabeck's shop? Maybe just a small meet at a restaurant with our LT5-powered brothers?

I could even give it some press because I write luxury car reviews for Clubline Chicago magazine and I'm the sports editor for a Lake County newspaper.

Any ideas? Is this possible? Talk to me!

Dan,

We have a ZR-1 group that meets for pizza in Mount Prospect or in Addison. =Jeff= usually organizes it. Just drop him or me a line. We're always happy to add another member to the group. BTW, new guy buys the pizza. :mrgreen:

We could all hit the Lombard show this summer eat the in-laws restaurant(Texan BBQ), mother-in law also stated we could also use her restaurant in Algonquin for a Sunday Breakfast if we wanted to put one together, we would have the place to ourselves, just need to get one of the cooks to come in.

I heard pizza is bad for you, Smoked Meats and Texas style Chili is much better:wink:

Shawn,

Don't worry, =Jeff=, myself or Pete will let you know. We should be having one in the next little while.

Dan - There are at least two more with Z's that live close to you - one in Grayslake and one in Antioch. Food is always good - But lets not forget the beer that goes well with Pizza. :cheers:

I might be able to make it up occasionally from downstate. I actually drove mine yesterday! (trying to minimize the tire flat spots from sitting all winter) Gotta love IL, it was upper 60's yesterday afternoon, and snowing again tonight :rolleyes:

Yeah... I couldn't help it... I had to take out the Z yesterday. Man, how I missed it!

Yeah probably in Feb will be the next Pizza gathering.. LOL

I am guessing at HRI in Addison if there is going to be a big group.

I really need to get the plenum off my car and get wires for it.. LOL

[djpatrick35]

I might not be able to make it unless it's really early in Feb. or really late... I'm getting married on Feb. 10!

(She's a good girl, she's got a Vette of her own! :mrgreen: )

Many time we meet to 'bench race'. Our 'Fun' cars are optional int he winter months.. It also is not just ZR-1 guys, there are other with LS series motors. I was one of the last L98 guys.. ther is also one with a GN and 2 TTAs, so it is not always only about LT5s, it is just a bunch of Car guys talkign about all sorts of things and having a good time.

I am thinking Feb 1st right now, at Home Run Inn in Addison

Name a time and I'll be there. Hopefully it'll be a nice day so I can take the ol' Z out! :mrgreen:

[Pete]

Feb 1st works for me.
If i can suggest Home Run Inn in Addison they have plenty room for us.

I remember when we started this Friday night thing we used to get 30+ people at one time and this was every Friday night whoever could show they knew where we were at just like car shows that are on every week during summer months.
Good old days:mrgreen:

We decided to do this since winter weather sucks in IL and no car shows.
