I didn't realize how active this area was. checked out a few events the past couple of weeks, North Suburb Cars and Coffee, Motorwerks Cars and Coffee (this was a good event, free food!), PCA Social @ Superdawg. Checked out the luftgruppe 1 event as well.

I've seen these advertised but I've never heard of a concours. I'm assuming a Concours is a car show competition?

North Suburbs - https://www.facebook.com/NorthSuburbsCarsAndCoffee/
Luftgruppe - https://luftgruppe.wordpress.com/ - this I found through the Fuelfed site.
The Motor Werks one I heard about from a friend who bought her Porsche from them and she's on their mailing list.

If I come across more I'll let you know..

Default Sorry missed out, been racking up the miles

Sorry I missed out on meeting up with fellow rennlisters! Been racking up the miles before jr starts school again. Hit Oshkosh Air Show, Road america, and Door County over the past few weeks to reach a milage milestone, 400K on the SC.

When will we just have a Chicago Rennlister gathering!!! That would be a Great Excuse!

Later.

thanks, wish they’d have mailing lists instead of fb pages, fb is pretty unreliable with post visibility now days

This weekend it's the PCA Autocross at Boomers Stadium on Sat. https://pca-chicago.org/cms/autocross

Then on Sunday it's the Geneva Concours. I think it's too late to register to park in the PCA Corral, but not sure. It's still a fun day to wander the streets and enjoy, . http://genevaconcours.net/

I'll be at the Geneva, but probably not at the autocross

Not sure if you guys saw but Rennology closed.
https://www.rennology.com/
Richard was nice when I'd see him at ABCC but I had them restore a set of calipers I was going to put on my car and they totally botched it. I don't want to turn this into a 'dump on Rennology' thread but I'm not surprised this happened.

How many of you have your front license plate on? I added a tow hook license plate after two of my friends received a ticket in the city, not sure if it is really the CPD that looks for this vs the burbs.

I’ve been running front plates since I started getting parking tickets at ORD 10 years ago they never let up even when you park tight to the wall!

Working on nice turbo this week that just came out of storge. Plenty of air leaks! Time to freshen up the rubber lines.

Nice! OK, I was going to remove the tow hook front plate but I guess it's not worth the risk of tickets. I didn't realize you can get these at ORD!
