Intro: new guy to Chicago Region
Long time BMW guy, bought my first Porsche (997) last Summer. I'm sure I've met a few of you at the track or autox course over the years. Looking forward to getting out and trying the great variety of PCA events in our region. Live in Valparaiso now.
Where's the best online community of Chicago folks? Here? FB?

There are several Chicago/IL oriented FB car groups, but you typically want to stay away from them unless car spotting Mustangs and pickup trucks are your thing. The Chicago Porsche FB groups are radio silent.

I've met a lot of Porsche friends at Fuelfed, LAPS and PCA. Fuelfed is more community and social based. LAPS is a track group and they do burger nights every month. Good guys all around. But yeah stay away from the other car groups. Even the Chicago BMW group is dicey.

Already in Ff and LAPS. Guess I just gotta get out to the PCA stuff.

I'm in for anytime that I'm not playing hockey dad.
I know where most of the speed traps are in Barrington, lived here for last 12 years.
By the way early Sundays in Barrington has a lot of police traps catching cyclists running stops and riding in large peloton's. They changed to single file a few years ago. Rude cyclists ruined it for the rest of us (cyclists) on the narrow roads.
