Saturday night's Metra lot in Mount Prospect has a pretty decent turnout every week. 3 TRs last week. I think I heard someone say this coming Saturday is Buicks Olds night too. Not that it matters, all makes and models show up every week.

West METRA lot Rt. 14 & 83 Mount Prospect, IL 847-398-6616 Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association

Most likely going to be a stormy weekend but would be cool to get more Buicks there. Show up ASAP, starts at 6 and fills up fast. Got there around 7:30 last week and had to park way at the end where most people didn't even bother to walk that far.

That town is fantastic. It looks like the town in Back to the future. Lot of nice cars but man everybody was gone and in bed by 10:00!? There must have been 5 or 6 turbo cars.

I'll probably head up there to spectate, but I just blew the converter on my car Tuesday...

Is it still going on? They usually end after Labor Day, but I know there were some rainouts....

I might try to make it tonight because I hardly went to any shows this summer and time flew by before I even noticed. 40 mile drive though...

Rick87 , did you get some new rims on your GN? Seen one drive by last night on convo pro's I think? Maybe if I buy you a tank of BP 93 you could take me for a rip in that GN down Route 6?

I did put the convo's on. I wore out the drag radials on the kirbans and had these in the garage with fresh skins on them. Where did you see me?
Trade a blast for some gas? No problem.
