Anyone Want to plan a Il-IA Cruise ?

Looking to see if anyone would be interested in getting a rather large group of cars out for spring and start the season off right,

What better than a full day of cruising right, There are alot of us in Il and Ia so why not meet on the border?

I am informed that there is a 12 acre travel center about 20- miles into Ia on interstate 80 that we should have no problem invading and having a large turn out


Anyone ? Im not sure about How far this would be for people in IA Though it would be roughly a 2 hour drive from the chicagoland area, Though we can stop and pick people up along the route




Throwing it out there



As well just a side note , I would plan on driving 70-75 on cruise control, if we have a large enough group of F bodys you can be sure that State would notice and the word would be out So if anyone would feel like driving like an please feel free to drive ahead and flush the cops out

I would be down for that, set a date and I'll be there. If we could get a group to start out in Morris that would be perfect meet up place for me but meeting up in the Ottawa area wouldnt kill me. I got a buddy with a 2nd-gen Firebird who would probably love to join us.

Re: Anyone Want to plan a Il-IA Cruise ?

I'd love to join up for a cruise if my work schedule allows it. I'm only about 40 minutes from the quad cities so it wouldn't be difficult at all for me to make it if I'm not scheduled at work. I wouldn't put me down as a definite but I'll make it if I can.

Not many third gens in my area, at least that I know about, would be great to see more then 2 at the same place lol (I always park next to one when I see it... birds of a feather and all that... pun intended).

Damn 23 views and 2 responses If we got at least say 20 cars Id would be more than happy with going just to get out

How would everyone be interested in having other groups of cars come out?

You got to set a more definite date if you want more commitment, but I think we should keep it f-body only.
