Hot Import nights in Wheaton?
 

Every year in downtown Wheaton the city blocks off two streets to host the Friday Classic car night. I'm pretty sure they do this for 4-6 weeks around July and August.

The only problem is they have the same cars every week. GTO's, 1950's Corvettes, Pony cars ect...

So my hope unless someone has a better idea :confused: would be to have a ClubLexus/Import night. Just think we could get the local Lexus dealer (Naperville) to sponsor some free bee's of some type? The whole world would know Lexus does make the greatest cars on earth:D Anyway before I get a head of myself:) I'm looking for some feed back from all of you?

I think it's only fair that any import would be welcome BMW, MB, ACURA, INFINIT, HONDA ect..

If you guys think you would be interested I will then speak to the City and see what we can do. The event usally starts at 7:00 and ends at 10:00 pm (Friday's). You could not leave until the end since getting your car out is impossible.

I'm thinking about min 30 cars-50 max. Your car would have to be in very good condition and have some mods on it (DVD, PS2, Sound System, big pipes, funky dash or colors). Wheaton is a conservative town so 1/2 naked women are now going to work. Although very hot girls are welcome:D Noise levels are not a problem since they usually have a DJ there from time to time or a band.

Jim,

I would definitely be interested in the Wheaton get together. It's a stones throw away for me :D

Most train track/small towns have revived the car shows over the last two years. I've gone to Crystal Lake for the last two. My buddy and I used to park the supra's there, and we usually got a mixed reviews, some hardcore muscle car guys even enjoyed them;) Either way, its great to be able to hang out and admire others hard work.

Jim, id be interested in something like this.

There is one that happens in Rolling Meadows, but with this one you can bring and take your car whenever you want. But i think it would be pretty cool to have a local show like that. Id bring my car.

Jim, I'm down for it..Let us know what you find out..

"Boyz get your cars ready"
 

Holy cow do I have good timing.

I just got off the phone with the person in charge and have secured a spot for this year-Woo Hoo:D They were making out the schedule this week.


Import night will be Friday July 18, 2003 in Downtown Wheaton.

Event time is 7:00-9:00 pm. You need to arrive at 6:00 pm to guarantee yourself a spot.

The requirements are as follows:

Your car is considered an import-that's it.

However lets make sure we enter the best of what Lexus has to offer. Wheaton does not allow for the sale of products through vendors. Free hand out's are acceptable.

I'm going to email Tyler and see if Lexus wants to show case the new RX330 and bring some T shirts or something to hand out to the local's. This event is more "family night" than what we would consider an import night. A lot of soccer mom's and dad's with kids who drive nice cars.

I will post additional details later.

If you guys know of other people who would be interested please let them know. I think I can get a couple of 911's and M3's
to par take.

i'm game...


i can roll up there with mack and the other lexus guys in my crew...

That's awesome Jim!

I've got a few cars I'll try to line up.

Definitely looking forward to it. As it gets closer we'll have to put up a sticky as a reminder.

:rolleyes:

:p

So true...

Most of my friends just call me by my last name, so you guys can refer to me as, Threadgill too if you want :)

Don't worry about butchering it, I've been called Treadmill, Threadmill, Treadgill, etc.. ;) I don't know too many people with that lastname, so it should be easier to differentiate.

Threadgill

I like treadmill, very easy to remember! hahaha j/k:D I'll just call you CT..;)

I'm down for it. My SC should be reborn this spring and I'd love to show it off. ;)

Overclocker

Mack, CT is perfect!

WTF!!!??...as soon as my car is sold you guys go out and pull something like this off...I feel so shafted....lol

Mack-did you forget that I still have the SC430...it only has rims but it still looks better than the IS so I would bring the Supra...you might have a chance with that one...lol....

Can I come guys???
I'll show up this time and even on time...

-KRis

Well have to have a group meeting and decide if you can come;) :D But i'm sure its a yes!!! Well thats only if you bring a Toyota/Lexus:cool:

I hope to see some new and improved cars this year:)

The show in Wheaton sounds great. I am a 98 GS400 owner & after 5 years of searching for local shops that actually WANT to add mods to sport luxuries like ours (without charging a fortune), I decided to start my own. If you are interested in a local sponsor for this show, let me know. If not, I still plan to bring my black on tan & will spread the word as well.

Also, we're having a car show in late April. Check out the new psot for details.

Later

Just a quick reminder that this event is not far away and now is the time to start thinking about the annual detail:D

Re: "Boyz get your cars ready"
 

Just a reminder kids that import night in Wheaton is coming soon.......:)

I am sorry. I am not familiar with Wheaton. Can someone post the street for the event?

Thanks.

The event is being held in down town Wheaton. From I355 exit Rosevelt Rd (RT.38) West about 4 miles past Naperville Rd to the next traffic light which is Main street. Turn right on to main and go about 1/4 mile over RXR tracks. Front street is where you can park your car.

See you there:)

So I assume it will be obvious from there? Are we trying to get our Lexi grouped together or just in whatever order we arrive/get a spot?

I would vote for grouping. Perhaps we could all meet up somewhere and parade to the place.

good to go

:D

i agree on the grouping.

Kevin

I could enter my car also!! I think it will be fun and a good experence!! :D

where can we meet up?
it's Thurs - I have to know since I work 9-6 on Friday.
