UNfortunately the rotary scene here is slim... If you are interested you can come check out my 79 rebuild "project". Not much to see but tions and housings at this point, but the body is in really nice shape fot it's age... PM me.

I was at stratts last weekend. I parked across the street with my buisness partners 350z. Not really my scene though.

I will be in schaumberg this evening at hooters also.

Not a rotorhead here, but my FC is always looking for a cruise if it's not too cold out.

What up Buffdaddy!!!

Strats is fun on Wednesdays too. At least 100 bikes and a few nice cars. Whats the plan for friday? I've never been to Strats on a friday night. There might be some racing near Chicago Ave or Dutty/Dotty road on the southside.
