Midwest Meet v3.0 - 6G Celicas Forums

So since I couldnt make it to the last meet, I was looking to set one up in either late September or early October. For myself to make it, I'm planning on a Sunday meet in the Starved Rock area. Most likely the same place everyone has met at before. I know I'm available either Sept. 19th or October 3rd. Does this work for anyone else?

Give me until I've got my Celica swapped, or at least have the motor paid for. Then I'll be in for the next Midwest Meet. But until I have the engine, I am not spending any money that I don't need to.

lol. Maybe now we'll be able to fly up and down those twisties w/o understeering to our deaths haha. I STILL remember every detail of the corner where my celi was bouncing closer and closer to the outside. You just cant get any grip when the surface knocks the wheels all over the place!

#14

yep, I remember it before it went to crap when I drove the geo on it some. hell, i was faster with the geo just by virtue of the fact the road wasn't falling apart and mostly gravel covered potholes.

Hi, maybe you can direct me to whom to ask or maybe you're the correct person to ask. I'm seeking some information on construction which just began on Route 71, but out by Utica/Ottowa IL in Lasalle county near Starved Rock State Park. I realize you're in Kendall with this project, but I'm not able to find the 71 construction out where I'm interested in on the IDOT website. I know this may not be a major project, but It's one that myself and many others are very interested in, this is a much loved stretch of road for many car enthusiasts and motorcyclists. I'm curious as to what is being done (road repair?) and for how long. Thanks for your time, I hope you can help me.

If we can get a good enough turnout, I'm pretty sure I could swing it.

If we have the time off, my Bride & I would LOVE to meet again!!!

Pretty sure we're the only forum that knows when the paving is going to be finished, so if we time it right it should be fairly vacant. just some random weekend soon after its done but after its rained atleast once on it to wash off the loose tar, sand, and finer stones.

I MIGHT, and this is a big MIGHT, even have my Celica done by then. I'm gonna make that my goal. Otherwise I'll be returning in the IS.

I think I'l try to keep my schedule clear for this one.

I can't make any promises on keeping my schedule clear. I've already had to ask for a lot of time off in October and it's not even here yet. But I'll do what I can.

It's likely that I'll be showing up in the IS if I can make it, but if we have a meet next Spring, I'll definitely have the Celica and have quite a bit done to it.

The only weekend in October that I could do would be over Halloween. I wouldn't be able to leave town until about noon on the 30th.
