Hey everyone,

Me and suburbanrobot want to set up a meet and are trying to have it in the NW suburbs. We were think the Steak and Shake at 1825 Barrington Road Hoffman Estates IL 60194 would be a good spot since it is easy to get to, being that its just off of I-90. We're going to see if the managers there would be ok with that. I dont think there should be to much of a problem as long as we keep it under control (ie, no burnouts, excessive revving, leaving garbage everywhere) since they will be getting our buisness. We're taking suggestions for other meet spots. No one say 75th and Lemont though, SRT club had their meets their weekly, and they stopped because police arrived and started passing out tickets.

 

i'm out, friday meets are a no go for me

 

Well the problem with Saturday is I usually work until 7-8pm. Unless it was a later meet, like 9-10pm I wouldnt be able to make it.

 

sept 8th is fine for me.... what time are we thinking?

I'm thinking 7pm gives everyone a chance to get there from work or wherever.

Chi.... do you work Sundays too?

 

No I'm off Fridays and Sundays.

I actually just got off the phone with Tom (astromens) from Crate Engine Depot, about setting up forum for the Illinois/Chicago club. We're going to try and get something temporary set up until we figure out a more permanent solution. This way we can get input about what people want from the club, and setting up meets. He also said we may be able to have this upcoming meet at CED which might work out better for everyone since police would be a non-issue and we'd all be able to meet the guys at CED and hear a bit about what they have for our cars since they'd like to sponsor the club.

 

personally i like later meets...late night cruises..etc etc. 6 or 7 just seems so early to me...but thats just me...i like my weekends to start at 9 or 10...lol i have just completly adapted to city/night life in chicago! Hopefully the next one will be a saturday!

 

NSChi .... you night owl! I leave for work during the week at 5am so 10pm is too late for me!
oh to be young again.... I remember when going out before 11pm was just plain dumb.
let's compromise>>>>8pm?

the CED facility sounds fine.... where is that?

 

I was there the night that they kicked everyone out. They didnt pass out any tickets, but they did kick everyone out and tell us that we are not allowed back there. We moved across the street by Home Run Inn pizza and had no problems there. What about Streets of Woodfield at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg?

 

OK by me!!!

 

i wont be able to make it, i have class until 10pm on fridays

 

Arlington Heights, Northwest hwy just east of Arlington Hts rd. Hours are flexable....

 

if you get a time set up soon and a list of who can go i will request off work, i got some more custom goodies you guys should like

 

?set time and place and date?

 

posting to subscribe, intrested in meet. Lets get this thing going, cause ill have a few things my self to show up with.

 

Ok so how about an official time of 8:30pm at the Crate Engine Depot, address posted above.

Lets get a list going.

1) ChiTownSS

 

Sept. 8th, 8:30 at the crate engine depot it is!! This will be a good thing to get the CHICAGOLAND COBALT community to unite! Let's all try to make an appearance...

I'm there!

 

y not make this a saturday meet

 

Isn't it almost dark at 8:30 PM in September? Would be hard to see the cars, get pics, whatever. Why not have it at, oh, say 3 PM?

 

If everyone can post a time and day they prefer, then I'm sure we would go with whenever the turnout would be largest. I agree with a afternoon to better see the BALT's.... can everyone do a Sunday?

 

Sunday would be ideal..... Oh wait, Sunday of that weekend is Fierorama...

Yeah, I see why its hard to plan stuff. LOL

 

I'll come if I can. I've had to miss the last two meets due to work and I really wasn't happy about that. So hopefully this time I can go.

 

Sounds great! I'd like to bring an array of Ecotec cars, including Solstice and Sunfire, as well as Cobalts. Anyone down for Four Corners in Downers Grove on the 23rd? It would be a Saturday evening kind of thing.

If another date works better for the majority of you all, let me know and I will pitch it to the Solstice and J-body folks. An all-Ecotec thang would be awesome!

 

4 corners is a go, but i cant sunday ... school at 430 am monday

 

lets get something solid eh? So that whoever is planning on attending can do whatever they need to do, to show up or whatever yah know?

 

You guys are way too fast for me. Im in MI for a show the weekend of the 8th,, Why does this always happen... I really want to get together with everyone. How about tonight.. I'm not busy right now...
