Saturdays: Weekly meets/drives in Chicagoland for RWD/AWD owners/fans :)
Figured we'd make one thread and just keep updating it instead of making new ones every week :)
Here's this week's info: This Saturday 4/28/07 - Meet up time and shop tour: 3:00pm-5:30pm ... - Cruise time: 6:00pm at the earliest - details to follow at the meet Auto Werks (Northbrook) 1827 Janke Drive, Northbrook, IL 60062 (Corner of Janke & Carlson) We will be parked off of Carlson, behind the shop, pretty much the center of the photo below. https://img167.imageshack.us/img167/...towerksce8.png MAP: DO NOT DRIVE LIKE AN @SSHAT WHILE YOU LOOK FOR US. Be careful if you enter from sidestreets, this means you if you're lowered or have less than 50 series sidewalls on your tires. Here are the rules for our meets: http://jgtca.com/index.php?showtopic=794 Here are the rules for our drives: http://jgtca.com/index.php?showtopic=939 If you don't have one already, bring an FRS (e.g. Motorola Talkabout) radio that can do privacy/security channels. You'll have a much better time during the cruise.

(Their privacy/CTCSS codes match). Cheaper FRS radios only have channels 1-14. FRS radios with the CTCSS/Privacy/Security sub-channels have channels 1-14 with subchannels 1-38 in each main channel, ala 1^1-1^38 - 14^1-14^38. You can still listen into conversations on equipment that doesn't support subchannels, but you can't speak/broadcast. https://img146.imageshack.us/img146/...0106073dn6.jpg https://img146.imageshack.us/img146/...0106071hp6.jpg |

There's a variety of fun on just-paved glassy roads including elevation changes, tight, complicated switchbacks and high speed curves (55mph zones!!). This is definitely worth the drive, some of the best driving roads I've ever seen. Some of the roads I would put in my top 5, even over my old trails in California! https://img501.imageshack.us/img501/9558/img0883mr4.jpg https://img501.imageshack.us/img501/2549/img0892mb3.jpg https://img103.imageshack.us/img103/...pton1lghz3.jpg This can be a very challenging drive so be sure to read (click the article): The Pace The plan is to have a forest setting group photo op after a couple rounds of cruising.

I gotta try to make it out to one of these sometime. Looks like you guys have found some roads with more than one or two curves in them - something hard to do in this area :)

mdw1000:
You're more than welcome to join us :) We've got a few other RX-8 heads about as well, but I believe you'd be our first Silver one! Collectively we have done alot of homework! This weekend's proposed tour is one of my personal favorites. We have a 12 mile route (with an option to go longer) that includes lots of curves and oddly enough... HILLS. |

Plenty of Very tight turns with elevation changes. The setup is a 17 mile ring. Just like 'teh ring' only a little larger.

ALSO: NO BURNOUTS. NO REVVING. NO "DRIFTING". NO STEREO BLASTING. NO LITTERING.

You'll have a much better time during the cruise.

Here's more information on the radios...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service http://www.gmrsweb.com/codetable.html <- CTCSS/Privacy/Security code translation table Whatever brand you get, make sure it's got the CTCSS/Privacy/Security codes so you can talk with us.... so far the three interoperable brands appear to be Cobra, Midland, and Motorola. (Their privacy/CTCSS codes match). Cheaper FRS radios only have channels 1-14. FRS radios with the CTCSS/Privacy/Security sub-channels have channels 1-14 with subchannels 1-38 in each main channel, ala 1^1-1^38 - 14^1-14^38. You can still listen into conversations on equipment that doesn't support subchannels, but you can't speak/broadcast. |

I have a fairly good idea where those last pics were taken--I would've never expected it as a photo op. Good job on the pics, keep 'em coming!

Thanks :)!
(&& Thanks for keeping our location on the Downlow :) ) We just lost one downtown because another group or two found out and started abusing it *ugh* |
