"Now that the weather is cooperating more, let's get together for the first Fun Run of the car season!!  Streeters member Wayne Bastiaan will be leading a group on Saturday June 11 starting in McHenry and going up into Wisconsin.  This is the route that is a favorite of many members in the past going through the Kettle Moraine forest and ending at Elkhorn, Wisconsin.  The route has been modified to add some new twists and turns for those who want some new adventure.  The kick-off point will be the parking lot behind the McDonald's in McHenry at Rt 31 and McCullom Lake Road meeting at 8:30 am with cruisers leaving around 9:30 am.  

Here is a note from Wayne Bastians:
This is a modified route going north into Wisconsin using come new roads and some roads we have used before traveling just over 100 miles.  The Fun Run will end in Elkhorn, WI as before.  We will probably have lunch at Annie's Burgertown or any place you wish or you just might want to go home at the end of the day.  We usually get a 10% discount on food at Annie's.  We have been experiencing a bit of rain lately so this will be a go if there is only light rain expected.  We will send out a go/no go by 7:00 pm Friday night June 10.  Until then it is a go!

The Edith Farnsworth House is a historical house designed and constructed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1945 to 1951.

The house is recognized as an iconic masterpiece of the International Style of architecture and has National Historic Landmark status.  We’ll check out the Visitor Center and Museum, followed by a private tour of the House.  A casual lunch at a nearby restaurant will conclude by mid-afternoon.

"Northern Illinois Streeters Fun Run",

"Here are the details:
What:  Northern Illinois Streeters Fun Run September 2021
Where:  Starting point will be the McDonalds at 1904 Richmond Rd, McHenry, IL.  We will meet in the parking lot behind the McDonalds.
When:  Saturday September 11, 2021.  We will start assembling at 8:00 am with the last group leaving at 9:00 am. You can grab coffee and breakfast as well as use the washrooms at the McDonalds before leaving on the run. We should reach our lunch destination around 12:30 pm.

The Streeter's August Fun Run is now in the books.  We had a good turnout of about 20 cars with participants from the Chicagoland Alfa Romeo Owners Club, the Camaro Club and others. Judging by the feedback and comments that we received, everybody had a great time.  

Now, we are putting together the details for the September Fun Run.  This one will start in McHenry, IL and take us up through towns like Eagle and Palmyra in Wisconsin and ending in a lunch at a drive-in in Elkhorn.  If this sounds familiar it is similar to the most popular run we did last year in the fall but we are changing the route to make it more fun and scenic for our cruisers.  

This will be a fun cruise through the Kettle Moraine State Forest so you can run your car but it will be on all paved roads so you don't have to worry about stone damage.  

We have set the date for Saturday September 11 with the meeting time starting at 8:00 am with departure times up to 9:00 am.  You can run in a group with your friends or go individually.  The final destination will be a lunch at an old style drive-in.  There will be good straights as well as twists and turns and many rolling hills. 

Notes:  The route will be handed out at the meeting location.  You can travel in a group or individually, it's up to you!  The Streeters do recommend that you follow all traffic laws and we cannot be held responsible for any issues or incidents.  

Mark your calendars and plan to join us.  The more the merrier.",

Gino Rago has graciously opened his doors and sidewalk for us to enjoy his award winning pizza. You can get it by the slice or enjoy his full menu inside. https://www.paninospizza.com There is a large lot across the street where we can park, hang out and show off the wheels to ourselves and his local patrons. Please let Gino and me know if you will be coming so we can provide a realistic head count. To Gino: ginor26@aol.com and me at: dsbert4978@aol.com. We hope to make this an annual event. Please come and enjoy. After this, we will resume meeting at Avanti. Thanks Dennis *Not an official “car show.”",

"Meadowdale, Motorsports and Memories Car Show",

"MiRPA is again hosting its tribute to the once great Meadowdale Raceway, on the site of the former Meadowdale Raceway. Location: Raceway Woods (the former site of the racetrack) on Route 31 in Carpentersville, Illinois. You can register in advance or on line for $20.00 or on the day of the event for $25.00. They typically have 250 plus cars, ranging from vintage race cars, to great American muscle and some exotics. Come early because it fills up fast. Great music, food and friendship. If you plan on coming drop me a note and I’ll see if they can hold a handful of parking spots open for us. We can meet in the outer lot and drive in together. Last year we had about 8 of us grouped together. http://www.mirpa.org/ Please let me know if you plan to go. Thanks Dennis dsbert4978@aol.com (708) 579-9724 (708) 494-9287.",

"Weather permitting, we’ll use the outdoor dining area. If you plan to attend please drop Dennis Sbertolli a note dsbert4978@aol.com so he can give Mauro a head count. We will continue to meet at Avanti until further notice.
Come out and see how much we’ve all aged.
The more Italian cars … the younger you get. 
Yikes, if that's the case, Chip, Dennis, Mikhail - you guys are going to last forever!! 
Veritable Energizer bunnies!
The rule is that you can't leave this world while you have an unfinished Alfa project on your plate. At least that's the excuse I'm going with for not having my Alfas on the road!
We are all immortal!",
