Is anyone intrested in a cruse down rt.71 next weekend?
 
Hopefully my car will be out of the shop on Monday and I wanna play...

There's a four stretch mile of road about two hours outside of Chicago right next to Starved Rock state park. Its an awesome stretch of road, very "tail of the dragon"-esk. I am DEFINITELY coming back with my car here as the trees are all changing color and that little stretch of road is amazing. That 4 mile stretch of road is worth the two hour drive.

I'm thinking about a cruse that starts in the town of Utica IL, we drive 71 to Ottawa and get a bite to eat there. Any takers?

Every starved rock honda meet i went to, we cruised down that road. It's a blast!

I would be down for saturday, if we can get a decent group going.

Lead and they will follow my friend....

...but unfortunately for me I got some bad news today. My car has been sick with a case of the CEL flu and it's final parts won't be here until the 10th of October (as apposed to this monday, when they were supposed to have arrived). I'm a ways away from making anything happen it seems.

I would want you to play too! :)

(Assuming I had my car back, could we squeeze in both the route. 71 cruse in the morning and the Drift Event in the afternoon?)

Let's make it for the 14th since your car will be down until the 10th?

Yes, lets (and prey that I'm actually going to get the car on the 10th...) :sigh:

I've been wanting to take a ride out there. The 24 hours of LeMons is going on that weekend, this would put a cherry on top!

@Art_Mighty 10-01-2012 01:56 AM

So then we're all set for the 14th. We'll tighten up the details as we get closer. Does anyone have a GoPro?

CircuitJerk 10-04-2012 07:57 PM

I've been wanting a GoPro. Almost makes me want to splurge on one....
Damn you! LOL

It would be badass to have a go pro mounted on the middle car of a three or four car train making its way thru route 71
