We are having our first of many weekly meets this Saturday 04/16/05.

We already have a few Zilvia.net members as members on our site (as well as other 240SX, Corolla/Trueno, 350Z/G/Z32, MR-2, SC300, NSX, S2000, RX-7, 3000GT VR-4, GSX, EVO, and WRX/STi members to name a few) and would enjoy meeting more GT owners in the area.

We meet on Saturdays (when the weather is good) between 4:30PM - until whenevers in the Des Plaines area. There is a mini-show and a cruise/tour--we try to mix things up by doing more than just standing around.

Meeting by 4:30PM is key so we can get parking by one another. Food/Cuisine is very similar to Portillo's. Join us at JGTCA.com for more specific details on the meet!

Last season we started a tradition of going for a spirited but safe tour through some of the more/most? interesting roads in Chicagoland. We will cruise out as a group PRIOR to nightfall as the police activity along our route intensifies after dark!

Friends with NON-JGTCA type cars are welcome, but please no rice, and tell them if they roll up in a FF/FWD to please park away from the mass of GT cars :) Thanks!

We missed you guys today:

The majority of the meet was nismo powered! (4 S13 240SX, 2 S14 240SX, 1 S12 200SX, 1 Z32, 3 Z33s) 11/25 cars total were Nissan :)

Here's some craziness for those that may have missed it....

• JDM publication shopping spree that Sil40 and Morgs went on! hehehe
• JDM toy store blitz, led by 303 & Rayn! :)
• Spur of the moment single race that me and flip240sx decided to jump into over at CIR.... we were both sideways as much as possible.... I got warned several times even though I barely bumped someone once and lost power after the drift a handful of times heheh and I think flip240 is no also addicted to CIR!!!! :)
• Culvers on McHenry Rd in B-Grove closes at 10PM. *cry*
• Me taking over Ryouga duties from eSs-Dub... and going North instead of South on Rand from westbound Lake Cook Rd... (me = t3h pwn3d) in trying to get us to Culvers in Palatine (which we would've made it too if I hadn't of taken the wrong turn, as pointed out by our very own dave7690z hehehehe!) BTW, we almost made it to ANOTHER Culver's which was further up the road in Lake Zurich bahahahaha
• Sil40 for putting the smack down on an unruly and "agitated" d00d in his black SRT-4. Muhahaha ph34r the wrath of the SR20DET and hear the lazer gun (HKS SSBOV)!!!
• Going to Lake Zurich instead of Palatine and having to "run for the border" (e.g. Taco Bell) instead of the deliciousness that is patently Culver's!!! :( bahahaha

More details on what we did:

1. For Chicago Indoor Racing visit: http://www.chicagoindoorracing.com. Sun-Thur = $25 for the first two races, $10 for each race thereafter. Fri&Sat = $25 per race.

Some of what you been missing :)
 

One of our other members TpCpLaYa hooked up another fresh video... this is a big one (100MB) but worth it I think... definitely shows you some flavor we've got everything from Honda to Mazda to Mitsubishi to Nissan (lots of 240s :) ) to Subaru to Toyota represented!
