The Morris Cruise - June 11th! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Paul Workman · 04-30-2011

The Morris IL Cruise Nite has traditionally been one of the better events in the area - especially the first one of the (4) held each summer. It features all kinds of cars, car clubs, and "special theme" clubs, including a semi-tractors club showed up last year.

I don't know what the all time record attendance is, but #s in the thousands would not surprise me.

However, this event has not seen too many ZR-1s; two at any one time (including mine) is all I've ever seen there. I recon it is time to reintroduce the crowd there to the Beast, don't you? This is an opportunity for some of the southern state Z drivers to meet their northern contingent of the FBI too.

To get a good spot on the main drag, we should arrive as a group at the entrance (on Washington St @ the south side of town) by 4:15. So, to do that, we should rally at the WalMart parking lot located off SR 47, just south of the I-80 expressway and pull out en mass at 4PM for the cruise through town to the event gate ($10 per car entry fee - a charity fundraiser)

I will see to getting a prominent spot reserved, and see if I can get our Registry Banner by then so we can set it up to mark the spot and attract the curious. There is a LaMex restaurant and a couple pubs in the area, in addition to some usual carny-type hot dog vendors, etc.

So, who's in????
