Chitown and Surrounding area rx7 and rx8 meet :: LIVE UPDATE THREAD!

If you are planning on coming to the Friday night Nov. 10th at 5:30PM please read this below.


Good Morning Everyone. I wanted to first off thank everyone who has signed up. I myself have been extremly excited for this meet and I know some of you have also. Unfortunatly the weather has decided not to work with us. Tonight Friday Nov. 10th it is suppose to be mid to low 30's and snowing. This isn't exactly the best weather in the world for a meet.

We have decided to move the meet to Saturday. I know this isn't what most of us want but at this point we really don't have much of a choice. Now come Saturday if the weather does hold out enough for us to have a meet we will go then unless the ground(Grass) is muddy or really wet. If that is the case their is a brand new huge parking garage downtown Naperville. This is right smack dab in the middle of about 10 restaurants and a ton of nice clubs/bars. Most of you probably won't be interested in this and I understand that completly and I am open to suggestions but if the ground is to wet where we are on Saturday it's really our only alturnative. I will post a poll on this thread to gauge what you guys would like to do in the event that we cannot meet at the desired location Saturday night.

Of course if we end up at the downtown Naperville parking garage the confirmed list is sort of useless and anyone that wants to come is more then welcome. I really don't see a difference to the meet weather we meet at the downtown Naperville Parking Garage or the Naperville primery location on the grass. The meets a meet and the same cars and people are going so the location shouldn't matter a ton. Anyways make your vote and let everyone know what YOU want to do.

I apologize and if I had the means to get us some sort of large warehouse or something all to park in a would but it was just to short of notice.

Not that most would plan any illegal activity but a croud of cars/people draws the attention and harassment of local po-po. Have you talked to the Village about meeting there? In the end I voted to move the meet to next weekend because the original location just seems too perfect to abandon it all together.

I would suggest that portillo's lot in downers grove where we have met, but I know Portillo's are usually very busy on Saturday nights. Are there any other restaurants in that same lot? Seems like I remember a panera bread or something.

However, it is supposed to be cold and windy tomorrow...

At this point in time it is 10:30 on Saturday morning. The weather seems to be ok and and we are headed over to the location to check the status of the ground. As everyone knows we had a **** ton of rain last night so we want to make sure the ground is suitable for cars to park without making a mess of the cars and of the ground. We will have a for sure or not decision made by 3:30PM today. Please pay attention to this post because we will update everyeone. Thank you

Did you say you have a garage area or something for people to hang out in? I ask because it is cold and I am a wuss.

We took a trip over to the site jsut now and found out the ground is extremly dry and we have a ton of firewood. We have decided we are going to go ahead and go through with the meet. We will start parking cars at 6:00pm. If you have a extra flood lite or bright garage lite please bring it cause me might need one or two extra. We will be out there regardless of how many people show up. We know we haev moved it around and it is cold but we will be out there. I hope to see you guys there and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me 630-433-6438 name is Chris. All other sites have been notified that the meet is a go. See you there!

Address:
10423 S. 248th Ave
Naperville, IL 60564

I have had about 6 calls in the past 45 minutes so I am pretty sure we will still have a good turn out.
