Morris, IL Cruise Night July 8, 2017

[mcich7781]

The Morris, Illinois Lion's Club Sponsors a Cruise Night the second Saturday of the month from June through October.

Would any ZR1 owners or club members be interested in attending on July 8, 2017? If there are enough people interested in attending I could help coordinate a group parking area for the evening.

Morris is approximately 23 miles west of Joliet at the intersection of Interstate 80 and Illinois Route 47. Morris closes the downtown area for the Cruise Night and it is not unusual for 700+ cars to show up.

The Cruise Night has a $10 entry fee which goes to various Lion's Club charities depending on month. July, the Charity is "Habitat for Humanity." The entry fee includes three raffle tickets for the 50/50 Drawing which has exceeded $5000 the last few cruises.

If you are interested in attending, please send me an Email along with your contact information. We would likely meet in the Morris Walmart Parking Lot at 2:30 PM and enter the downtown area around 3:00 PM. The Cruise Night goes on to almost 9:00 PM.

Folks who need to arrive later can be directed to our parking area when they arrive. So let me know if you can meet in the Walmart Lot or if you need to come later.

There is no rain date and the Morris Cruise Night is held rain or shine. But if it rains I understand if folks don't want to take their cars out in inclement weather.

Please contact me at mcich7781@aol.com if you are interested in attending.

I would like to have the number of possible attendees by the end of June so I can contact the Lion’s Club and arrange a parking area.

Ami and I will be there. You didn't mention Toby's Mexican restaurant which is worth going to Morris on its own merit!

Good place to represent the ZR-1, especially with the reviving interest in DOHC motors in Corvettes!

I might be able to make it. Depends on what stage my car is at.

That would be grand, Dom. What's up with the car? Exhaust perhaps?

[XfireZ51]

Paul,

Looking to address the oil consumption issue I experienced on MR5 and BG. Also, want to redo the exhaust hanger that was patched during the MR5.

[Ami Workman]

Woohoo! Looking forward to going tonight!

Bump!

Reminder! Two weeks from Saturday. Always a great show - a charity event put of by the local LIONS Club.

This is a very well established gathering - organized in the 90s(?) and still going strong. This is a well attended Cruise Nite; cars of all kinds, and a great opportunity to display the ZR-1s. (Lots of people stopping by and asking questions!)

And, too, it is also an opportunity to enjoy some excellent Mexican cuisine - located right in the heart of all the activity.

If we get enough people to commit to coming, we can arrange our own parking area. But, we need a show of hands pretty quick, as assigned parking fills up very fast. It'll be too late if we wait until just before the event to a try to have assigned parking.

So! Post up! Let's have a gathering of eagles and have some fun!


So far...
Paul 1990 Red ZR-1
Ami 1991 Teal ZR-1
Dom(?) 1992(?) Black Rose ZR-1
Mike Cichion 1991 Teal ZR-1

Weather is looking GOOD for Saturday! Gonna be a nice night, and great show, and good opportunity for the FBI gang to get together!

How 'bout it?

[Paul Workman]

Tonight's the night!

Rally point is the WalMart parking lot for a 3PM departure. $10 entry/show car, walk-ins are free.

Dinner at Tobby's for Mexican!
