Chicago area 1st annual meet 2005

I have arranged through a local dealership in LaGrange, Il. Our 1st annual meeting for Rx8group.com. They have offered to provide a meeting room at the dealership. There will be food and a Mazda Tech available to answer questions and give tips on the Rx8. They have also offered to make parts available to us at a discount. Please let me know if you are interested in getting together for this meet.

It's about time we get a Rx8 group together and get our own meets going! There is no charge for the meet and this will be fun for all. Let me know when a good date is to schedule this event. I was thinking maybe April or May of 2005? Looking for others to help organize this event with me since I work weird hours. If you are interested let me know. PM me or send me an email at rx8admin@rx8group.com

Yes it is going to be at the Autobarn. They have moved and are now on Lagrange road and 57th. This is where I bought mine from also. They were very open to the idea and have offered as much as they can. It will be open to all Mazda owners. The more the merrier. I have just started to organize the meet and will be posting stuff on my website. Feel free to visit and join www.rx8group.com. More information will be posted there and here as it becomes available.

I am trying to get a feel as to how many people will be interested in attending the event for planning. I am sure it will be well worth while for all. And a nice start for us Rx8 owners to get together and check out every ones mods and stuff.

Question

If people are up for it, maybe we can schedule this during the East Meets West event. I think it'll be a good addition to the itinerary. Any thoughts?

Excellent idea! That would be a great way for other owners to meet up. It is only about a 15 minute drive from Downtown Chicago too!

Hey TiTaniumRX8, I'll be glad to be part of a BG (that's Buffalo Grove, Whosyourbaba)motorcade and head down there all together . It's still a few months away, but let's touch base closer to the event and decide where we want to meet that morning. I met another owner (StewC625) at the Culverts on IL-83 just north of Lake Cook :D . I know there are other 8 owners in the area, maybe we should all try to coordinate. Do you know of any others that live here?
