I would be interested, though I doubt I'd be able to make it to regular meetings and such cause of work and my girlfriend but once in a while I'd be able to make it. I'm in Palos Hills, at about 107th St. and La Grange Road.

Sounds good to me. This sat. is also SCC, but I'm down with whatever everyone wants to do. We could also spend time at 75th and Lemont (4 corners) and get some good thridgen action there.

Meeting at 75th and Lemont would be cool. I know where there is a TacoBell down 75th in Naperville that has a ***** population looking for races.

Car looks good. I'm going to put in the new ZZ4 dist tonight and tighten up the exhaust and we'll see how she runs.

I forgot to mention I'll be out of country until the end of August --- but after that I'm available virtually anytime weekends... Chicago needs to have regular 3rdgen meets... I mean they have these Import Nights every summer and the city is flooded with ricers, so it wouldn't be bad to have some real American hotrodder meets, too, so I can actually talk to people who know a bit more than to just bolt their $$$ mods and go..

Both of my 3rd gens arent running at this time. One is still in the middle of a engine swap and my (dads) 386 stroker has the intake off, we are having problems with oil getting between the intake gasket and getting into the inake witch makes the car smoke like we are spraying for bugs. Hopefully will be finished my friday. Ill see once. If i cant have the cars running then i just might go up there to talk to ya guys. Later
Bobby

Every Tuesday night is Cruise Night in Plainfield. Rt59 and 30 in downtown Plainfield. Everyone is welcome to park their car and walk around and enjoy other people's rides. This way if Third gens show up good, otherwise you can still see what other people bring. If enough of us do it regularly we could get a spot in a parking lot or something. Just a thought.
