Since it's only a hand full of people going this time.. we should find a really really good place to eat afterwards.
Midwest Meet, Late summer/fall '15 - 6G Celicas Forums
Is anyone welcomed to go..?
Haydens in Wilmington is good, really really good compared to BWW, but not like a gourmet dining experience. Upscale country casual I'd call it.

Prices are fair for the portion size I feel, I rarely go home without left overs.
Across the river is Nellys which is a greasy spoon burger kind of place, also good and not overly expensive with fair portion size.

Caveat is if you're going north, south, or west back home then this is a little out of your way but much closer than Chicago. Both places are about an hour east from Starved Rock, Wilmington being about 20 min south of Joliet if that's helpful to anyone.

The 113 route is what I'd take, country roads are my favorite and that's pretty much the route I take from Morris to the park anyway, it's a nice drive and there's some pretty scenery.

I'm going, should have the OEM HID lamps installed for the meet even! So even if no one else goes there's going to be some nice white 4 lane wide headlights carving around there in the evening.

The Celica is only making trips around town at the moment, so it's either the 4Runner or Supra.

well Google map is showing that if you took the 4Runner it would only take 30 minutes as opposed to 5 HOURS with the Supra.

4Runner with a VEE-ATE is a f***ing beast. That is all.
