I heard there was a good turnout at I57 dragstrip for racing and I think a lot of folks might have been a little scared to do much cruising and the price of gas probably doesn't help much.

Re: Car Craft Street Machines Nationals

Who's going this year? They lifted the cruising ban in DuQuoin, I guess the city didn't make enough money off the show last year.

I'm thinking of entering my car this year. I drove it there last year but parked in the general parking. It just isn't much of a show car but has plenty of engine mods. Is there any plans for a group of us to park together?

Was this car at the Fazolis Show the 21st I had got off work (work there) and had just enough time to do a quick walk around and the TTA was the first one I went to out there. Nice ride for sure. Never seen one in person. I was on my motorcycle that night since I was working till the show was almost over. Figured I wouldnt bring the TA out if I couldnt spend time outside.
