midwest spring
Man oh man oh man. Midwest spring is upon us in a major way. some call it false summer where the weather will go from 30 and cloudy to 70 and sunny to 10 and snowing in one day. This weekend was no exception, we went from 70 degrees on Wednesday to 30 degrees on Sunday and man it was Frigid.
Saturday I went to two meets, one hosted by The Detail outfit in Chicago at their detail garage. If you haven’t been to their shop yet you should absolutely go its definitely worth it. Their space is beautiful and perfect for taking photos at. They hosted a JDM day and there was some true legend cars in attendance including 2 NSX’s, a GTR and a MK4 Supra. I went relatively early for this 10am meet so it wasn’t packed by any-means but friends that attended after I left early said it was a good turnout. The other meet I went to was hosted by Aspire it was at Portillo’s in Deerfield. This meet was packed and everyone was well behaved. Deerfield police were present but they allowed us to do our thing in a respectful manner. There was about 150 cars in attendance, all good builds for the most part (other than some regular traffic that rolled in as a group blasting music). I would definitely recommend attending any of their future events at the Detail outfit or for Aspire.
Sunday I braved the cold to attend a Metal Militia Motor Club car meet at Xsport Fitness in Carol Stream. The wind was the worst part that made the day so much colder. The meet had a good turn out and for the most part was well behaved (outside of some revving here and there early on). Carol stream PD was on site early in the meet but eventually left and let us have our fun. I guess there was also a cruise set up that wasn’t communicated so in a mad scramble some people ended up at Strat’s in Villa Park rather than Portillo’s in Addison as intended. Luckily for us the weather is taking a turn and this week marks the official first day of spring. we should see more stable weather moving forward.
All in all it was a great weekend full of things to do and plenty of cars to see. Its exciting to see whats to come for the summer ahead. so much talk of more meets, bigger meets and trackdays. I cant wait for more consistent warm weather. stay tuned more to come- Until Next Week!!
