CHICAGO! Final meet of the year! 10/16/04

Ok. So I've been slacking here. So hello 8 owners. I didn't see anything specific to this here, so I thought I'd post this so all the Chicago area owners were aware. Most of this was just cut and pasted for simplicity.

By popular demand (among 7 owners), here's the date for the final Chicago get together for '04.

Reason I picked this date? The weekend prior I have my 10 year high school reunion and the weekend after I'm probably going to the Bonzai BBQ. Unless you all want to meet without me...I'll understand. (ingrates) Just kidding. Any later and it will be too cold I think. Plus I want to get a jump on winter changes.

This will be at Gameworks at around 2 PM. We can eat there and chill a bit. Wait for traffic to die down and have a PLANNED in ADVANCE cruise. With the help of a few others, we'll get a good route together.

So, let's do this one more time. We can do some initial brainstorming for next year. I don't know how many got the email I sent from the RC3 distribution list, but things are starting to move in the right direction.
In reference to the RC3 thing, I will hopefully be setting up something soon for new registrants. http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/chicago_rx7/ This is the current incarnation of RC3. It will be drastically updated. With my job and other things taking presidence, I'm looking to have a launch before spring.

If you've wandered to the 7 forum and have voted already, please don't vote here.

Hope to see you all there.

We were discussing this in another thread. I'd be interested in going, I just need to be sure I'm going to be in town. I'd say 50/50 at this point.

(Before moving here 2 years ago, I had never heard of it... is it just a midwestern thing? )

We left to go get a bite to eat for a little while but then we returned. We were on Level 4 (?) of the parking garage on the south side.
Not only were there the three 8's, but about 10 third gen 7's and a couple of corvettes showed also.

Adam if you only got there sooner you could have joined us for the cruise. Or maybe if you kept looking longer, you would have spotted us when we came back to gameworks at the end of the cruise, lol. Hope to see everyone turn out next year! And if you are looking to race I have 2 words for you. Gingerman Raceway.
