clap,clap,clap...exactly! lol j/k but yes since we have people from out of state...anyone doubting the ease, we are doing this for YOU, so please attend the meet

AND COMING FROM NORTH [HEADING SOUTH]...you exit on tower, making your way to willow...IF HEADING NORTH, you exit on willow...same exact place, just exits are labeled differently for each side of the highway.

my friend listen up! these are the best streets north burbs have to offer: curves, you have no idea!! we are parking by skokie lagoons= 8 sweepers. back in my dumb days, hitting apex, i exited these curves doing 90m.p.h. so they are huge...also if we go to glencoe beach...

well here, look on map: willow, forest drive [or w/e, thats lagoons] to tower, east to make left on sheridan road.

ok sheridan road right there is very tight curves with elevations = dangerous!! and soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun. we can go around there plenty of times...one time ALL the way around this area = good 15mins cruising.

total time from parking lot to beach should be like 15/20mins...thats short for me, i can drive all day!

do we need to have a back up location in case the weather gets shitty? i would hate for it to rain or something and we all decide to go somewhere else while the out of towners don't know where the hell we are.

maybe say meet at the lagoons at 1pm and if its raining we'll wait till 1:30 then go to the huge 5 level parking garage across from macy's at old orchard or something?

May be couple of you local guys can put up one Grand Central phone number (keeps your personal phone number hidden) for everyone so that those who are lost can call that number and any one of you can guide 'em - no push just volunteers who are willing to help!

i want to address this personally: look if you are heading south toward us on the I94 coming from WI, you will exit on the tower exit. you will make a left at the light after you exit and then you will come to willow road after a little bit. it may be confusing for people, so once you hit willow road, take a left, cross the bridge over the 94, and make a quick left turn into our parking lot!

again, heading south, exit is marked Tower...if you are ehading north, just look for willow.

I already know the weather will be perfect, a cool hi HP day, leaves fluttering down, and about 20 angry ACURA's ripping up the twisties ! We need someone to video all this. Damn I wish it was this weekend! 2-1/2 weeks is too long, she's aching for a road trip.

I've got a 2GB card for my camera, so I can take some video. Maybe I'll get my passenger to video while I'm twisting her up, ( if he doesn't wuss out).

This is awesome that this is happening so close to home since I live in Wilmette. I drive a white 99 TL with some mods here and there, and I have no problem with making a lil drive from Purdue back home to meet up with you guys.

ok maybe forget that friend's STI, now that i think of it, maybe ONLY acura really, or if you previously had an Ack, im all for you coming like the Jeep SRT-8 and the BMW 335i i think we've talked about already. basically keep this on Azine unless you know people with Acuras...and if you previously had one, then you are DEFINITELY invited!
