Hey wassup import maniacs
recently i started going to the McDonalds parking lot every friday night near the corner of Barrington and Lake st. in Hoffman Estates, theres a looooooot of cars there. Anything from Supras to Evo's to BMW's to hondas, Mustangs and firebirds. Its pretty dope. If anyone here goes to those meetings shout out. For those of you who didn't know abt this, show up, altough the parking lot is not big enuff anymore :)
Last week one of my buddies with a VW Corrado G60 supercharged went to race some dude in a Red RX-7 '95 on the highway, i was there, me and about 10 cars followed them on the 290, they didnt actually get to race cuz the RX-7 fell back cuz of a red light, but after we were cruising on the highway for abt 2 mins all of a sudden the RX-7 Zooms past us with 160MPH, it was insane, we were going 90 and it seemed like we were going in reverse :D :D

I guess its like a magazine, you pick one up with interest, and 2 hours and 3 magazines later you've had enuff of supras and altezzas and poioneer decks and rims and turbos and everything :)
yeah i think the meetings should have an actual purpose other than to sit there and talk abt whos got what, maybe race, or cruise from point A to point B so regular ordinary earthilings can see our cars hehe :D

heres a thought, how about for all you people 18 and over we have a meet at Route 66 in joliet and we can race at the test and tunes, that would give meaning to a meet, and it would be fun as hell, its 20 bux for all day as much as you want. ITs fun as hell.

Sounds like a good plan. It depends on the day though.

I have the head powder coated red to match the car color

I think its also because they know thats where people go to set up races and crap like that..... But who knows whats this about Doty road??
BullShifter
06-30-2003, 01:47 AM
you have to expeirence Doty Rd for yourself if its still the same. I havent been down there in a few yrs.
Its crazy a couple hundred people standing around watching the races & then po-po's come rollin' in & everyone takes off. 10 mins later all back on the same street racing, cops come & chase everyone out & it keeps going like that all night/morning. Only a few slow/dumb people get caught. Just watch out there are lots of drunks hangin there & racing. I saw some stupid ass dude on a bike, chick on back. Neither has helmets on, just tank tops & shorts -- anyways dude was showing off doing some wheelies @ 100mph or so & then bam smacked right into a tree.
I dont know if the crashed killed him or the people that started to beat his ass from being a complete moron. There are some crazy people there.

One time the cops broke glass all down the street they race on . . .one guy had a broom in his truck & started sweeping away, LMAO. Another time they pulled a train locomotive at the one end and 10 cops rolled up from the other end, they all got busted that night.

God damn what a buncha morons for goin back... no affense if u were there or kept goin but seriously why? if ur gunna get caught u know. I know for the adrenaline and crap but sometimes its just not worth it.

06-30-2003, 02:32 AM
I've only been there a few times a few years back. The only racing I do now is legal on a race track & if im watching its on TV or @ the track. Street racing gets lame too much talk & sitting around :bigthumb:
