Another So. IL guy here, I'm in Sesser which is about 20 mile south of Mt. Vernon.

I don't currently own a third gen but I've been playing with the TPI setups for some time. Maybe someday I'll learn to tune mine ... LoL

I see several people from this area which surprises me ...

bearcats20, dabomb6608, badjuju342, intruder, ... Anybody else?

Hello, Michael

theNMBR27, I'm in Downers Grove too. Ever hit up the shows on Tuesdays on 75th and Lemont, right by the Advanced Autoparts? I haven't been there yet, but I do go to the one in downtown DG on Friday nights. That's a pretty nice show. Gotta get there early tho, to get a spot.

I just moved to Berwyn and would love to find a show with 3rd gens. I have been to cruise nights in Berwyn and Riverside but there are zero third gens.

Hello, Michael

I'm originally from Cicero, and my wife is from Berwyn. We're always out that way. I've seen a few in the downtown DG car show on Fridays, but yeah, you don't see too many any more.

Is the DG show every Friday? What time does it start and run til?

Hello, Michael

It's every Friday, and usually starts around 6:00 and runs till about 9:00. Right on Main Street. I'm hoping to go this Friday, if it's nice out.

I will definitely check it out soon. Thanks

There is a car show this Sunday in Brookfield, il. It is by that round circle intersection off Maple Avenue. I will be there with my 90 t/a. It is a judged show. So stop by and check it out.

rdhanded2

iTrader: (3)

Will do!

Hello, Michael

At 8 corners? What time is it at?

90 T/A

It starts at 9am, but you can get there earlier if you want. It costs $20.00 to enter the show. You can win a trophy, too since it is a judged show.

I went to Downers Grove tonight. Great turn out but I did not like how spread out everything was. Seemed like there was not a lot of organization. In the lots that said car show cars only there were tons of people just parking there. Tons of potential though.

Hello, Michael

It's kind of a free for all over there. But it's nice. I wasn't able to make it this week.

rdhanded2

iTrader: (3)

We are going to hit up Brookfield tomorrow just to look around. Not going to take a car to show. Should be a nice day.

rdhanded2

iTrader: (3)

I am going to check out the show in Countryside tonight. Brookfield was a good turnout and there were a tons of F bodies there. Only 3 or 4 3rd gens but a lot of 2nd gen cars.

Anyone going to the Berwyn show next month?

Not me. I have to work on Saturdays. Weather permitting I will be going to the riverside garage show the last Sunday in September.

Anyone going to the Route 66 Mother road festival in downtown Springfield? I'm taking my black 1988 Firebird Formula in the parade and will be at the carshow throughout the weekend

AceofSpades

I miss all the good shows!!

don't feel so bad I only went to 3 shows this year and I told myself before summer that I would go to many this year.

I said my car would be running.....

That didn't happen. Spent too much time doing things right so I don't have to do them again later and it hurt the wallet big time.

BiggTipp7

Lets try to get a third gen show at Dukes on 81st and Harlem next year. I used to work there and I can talk to the guy that runs the car shows

AceofSpades

That sounds good

theNMBR27

You guys should come to the car show in downers grove. It's at the Advance Auto that I work at every Tuesday and we still have a few more cruises this month.
