    (see edit for WWII Bomber stop on the cruise)

    On July 22 we are having the Open Wheel Reunion & Friends at our shop, Hot Rod Ch***is and Cycle in Addison IL (near Chicago). All open wheel hot rods get a free Tshirt. We meet at the shop at 10, leave at 11:30, cruise around and end up at Texas Bbq in Lombard by 1:30. There will be designated parking for us all, and we will have a band. Should be a good time.

    Here's the flyer.

    I still can't belive you sold the roadster Rudy. But hey, the new one will be even better I'm sure!

    Hit some cruise nights this weekend with the flyers and the response was pretty positive. Hope to see some of you there.

    We were, but due to some cir***stances out of our control, we have to stay local that weekend unfortunately. Rather than be depressed that we can't go, we decided to do this instead.

    I feel discriminated against because I have fenders.

    Oh Well, if I was local I would crash the party anyway.

    This rules!

    Our destination for the cruise portion of the day will be to DuPage Flight Center to see 3 planes from the Collings Foundation, who are stopping here as part of their midwest tour.

    $10 entry, and you are allowed to walk through the B-24, B-17 and the B-25

    The Chicago military vehicle club will have a display.

    I'm working on get a spot so we can all park together.

    I can't go to Thunder Over Michigan this year, so this will be my fix. So needless to say, I'm STOKED!

    Oh, and the band for sure is the Reluctant Aquanauts, without a doubt THE best surf band in Chicago. And yes you CAN surf on the lake. :D

    Very Cool ad. I use to live in Addison years ago when all of us used to hang out at Jack In The Box on Lake Street and drag Race down 83. Any of you remember that time.

    I've only lived here since '93, so I'm guessing that is a no. ;)

    Jack in the Box, like the one's out west?

    St. Louis still had them in the 80s, but I don't know about now. I've never seen one in the Chicago area.
