Illinois GTO/TrailblazerSS cruise-cookout

Rynesgto · 07-12-2006, 04:36 PM

Me and some members over at LS1GTO.com and TrailblazerSS.com are planning a cruise/cookout at starved rock state park in central illinois.So far the date is set for sept.30 on a saturday.We will all meet at JC Whitney distribution center right off of I80 and go from there.We are expecting quite a bit of cars and a lot of fun.The cruise should be very scenic,we are taking a route through the park and on some twisty roads with no stop signs.the drive from the suburbs is about an hour and a hlaf and a little under an hour from peoria,bloomington,and rockford areas. This will most likely be the last big cruise/get together of the year.Bring the family if youd like,there is an indoor water park at Grand Bear Lodge just across the street so the kids and wives can hang out there if they dont wanna hang out.Thanx.PM me if you have any questions.

Like he said, I80 west and you take the Utica exit.Go to a stop sign,turn right and you will see a gigantic JC Whitney.If you want you can go over to LS1GTO.com and talk to some of the chicago people,they might be meeting and cruising down here as a goat hurd. The cruise info is the midwest section under fall goat cruise.

So far we have 37 GTO's for sure and 4 TrailblazerSS's.Our goal is to have around 100 GTO's.New York City had the biggest GTO gathering at 98,we want to beat that.

Yes there is!

Or at least we're trying to get some to go to a car show, actually two shows. August 4th @ Monmouth and 5th @ LaHarpe.

If you want more info contact me or go to ls1gto and have a look at the Midwest section. At this point only a few have said they're going.

Like i said,all you suburban guys go over to LS1GTO.com and go to the midwest forum under fall goat cruise.The chicago people i think are meeting up at around 355 and 55 and heading down.The addess to the meeting spot is ( 761 Progress Parkway- LaSalle,IL)
From the suburbs its 55 south to 80 west and the utica exit.Take the utica exit,take a left and you will hit a 4 way,take a right and youl see a huge JC Whitney on your right.Id suggest going over to LS1GTO.com just to put your name in so we know how many and the people who are going get to know ya.We are having name tags from the board so we can put a face with a name.
