Default Speed Inc Open House, This Sat!

Sorry for not posting this sooner...

"We would like to show our appreciation for everyones support & we are glad to announce the date for another SPEED INC OPEN HOUSE.

The turn out last year was more then we ever expected. We where so happy to see so many new faces and it seemed everyone had a great time. The amount of cars that loaded the street from one end to the other was awesome to see. We did have a small problem with police and the fact that there is only the south side of the street to park on.....

well here is the good news..........

Saturday March 12th is the date we are currently scheduling the open house for. We will have food,music,specials,etc just as last year. The big thing we are working with is the Village of Schaumburg to get the street blocked off. This would give us the entire street including both N & S sides to have a car show as well and maybe a little fun without getting harrassed The show will not be judged,but more so for others to hang out and look over everyones rides and talk about mods and so on.

hows this sound?

We look forward to seeing everyone soon"

Should be a great turnout.

If i don't go to vette fest that day, weather permintting I will stop by, as i went the last 2 years and it is alway a entertaining event, as the 20 year old F-body crowd, put on good show as they launch their LS1 cars down the road with many civilains on the side of the road wallking and talking, and sitting there like sitting ducks, just waiting to be taken out!!!

Camaro 4 Life:

I see we are neighbors bro as I live 5 minutes from Oakbrook right near St Charles and Rt 83 in Elmhurst. YEAH, i went to the open house last year and it was a gas and very entertaining, and of course the police showing up added a little spice to the event!!

I hope for SPEED INC the weather holds out and is at least doable like last year, so this can be a HUGE TURNOUT, which you know it will be if the weather cooperates. If its a crap day out (Rain, snow, etc). will there be a rain/snow Date at another time in the near future?

What time is the open house? I'll probably stop by but won't have the vette out unless the salt is gone off the road.

ok well weather looks good right now, just cold. The snow melted and there is no salt on the ground. (at least were I am) I think it will still be a good turnout because the snow has past and its gonna be sunny tomorrow. The only thing is the temperature. I still think the meet is do-able.

The Z is clean...



I hope to see some Corvette Forum guys there.
