Cruise Night @ Joes Place in Marengo/Every Wednesday/5-9pm

Joe's Place

Cruise Night
Every Wednesday night from 5-9pm. Beginning as soon as May if the weather permits and ending as late as November if the weather stays nice enough.

2009 was our first year doing Cruise Night and we were blown away by how big it became. Our first Cruise Night turned up about 40 cars and from there it exploded into over 100 cars for the rest of the summer! There is a live DJ to provide music and entertainment, as well as free vehicle registration for prize drawings, trivia, more prize give a ways and coupons. There is always good food and cold drinks available for you to either sit in the air conditioning or bring outside to enjoy. All types of cars, trucks and motorcycles are welcome; So bring your ride and come on down!


This is actually one of the best I have attended. Very well put together. They have this announcer guy that is pretty good. He adlibs all night and walks around with an open mike describing and commenting on peoples cars. He grabbed my dyno sheet last year and started calling out my hp and tq. #'s and saying how cool some of the mods were. When a car comes in he announces what it is and he knows what a blower sounds like and says so. This guy knows his stuff.

So is this starting this week or ??

Sounds like if the weather holds its on. Also sounds like its a good time.

Yes, it starts Wed. as Crys said if the weather holds.

do they allow beer in the lot?

how late are they there???? I have something going on until 7 this Wednesday but could possibly make it there afterwards.

It says 9:00pm. Joes is open til 10:00pm. Shawn, I'm not sure about the beer. It says on the web site that you can enjoy cold drinks outside. I would bring your own cup that looks like a pop cup or something just in case. Or just get a beer inside and pour it of into one of their pop cups.

Well it's a beautiful day and I'm getting the car ready for tonight. Anyone else coming out? Grab some dinner and a brew and an awesome cruise night.

We wouldn't get there until 8-8:30 maybe later got some stuff going on so probably not tonight but next week for sure

Thanks for coming out Nick, Vic and Jackie. It was a pretty good turn out, for the first night. I hear Joe is buying his own sound system. He was paying $300 for that announcer and half the time he didn't show up in person, just the girls. Anyway this just keeps getting bigger as the weather improves.

Heard it was a good time, little windy and chilly, but a good turn out.

Hopefully more can start making it.

It was nice to get out and do something after work rather than homework! It was a good time and I saw a few others that I knew (ha! Small world, huh?) kinda cold but oh well.

We are definitely going again.

Like the title says, every Wednesday Joe's Place in Marengo has a car show in the parking lot. It's located right on Rte 20 as soon as you come into town. It would be nice to have some CAMM members represent out here in the sticks, I would but my Maggie is basically stock so I have nothing to show off. If anybody is planning on coming out to one shoot me a text and I'll come by - 847-977-4157.

Hey Darin thanks for posting up. We have a forum for cruise nights and this has been posted in there.

Yeah Darin, stop on by Joes Place. I've made 2 out of 3 so far this year. It get's better later in the summer. I'm going to try and arrange for Tim (Mr. Norms) to make it out in one of his cars. Maybe bring that Mr. Norms X-Challenger out here. He says he got the all steel pulleys put on there now. Should be ready to do low 8's. I gotta talk to Joe and Tim about this and maybe Joe can do a little promo advertising for Tim.

If that happens I will take that wed off from work or move my hours and be there.

??????????

Ugg where is Tom!!!!!

Hopefully I get this right, Tim and Rhonda will be out at Joes this week with the original Sox and Martin car and then next week with the one they are raffling off.

I am trying to get my hours moved both Wed's so I can make it out as well.

Welp looks like I am out tomorrow, asked my boss about coming in early and she left without giving me an answer.

Will start working on next week tomorrow.

Ya'll have fun.

Crystal has it right. I have spent the better part of my day with making arrangements for Tim and Rhonda to bring out a car to Joes Place tomorrow night. I just got off the phone with one of the organizers of the event. He is an old old friend of mine. He is absolutely floored about this and said heck yes, bring Tim and Rhonda. This guy, Kenny, owns a 1968 original GTX. He knows exactly who Mr. Norms is and also Sox and Martin.

Tim was quick to agree to do this for US and will be bringing that very same 1967 Sox and Martin Cuda (Naperville) to Joes Place tomorrow night! Big props to Tim! So I have a big favor to ask. It would make me very happy to see all of the possible support from my CAMM brothers and sisters in making the event tomorrow night. I know it's not possible for everyone due to the short notice and it's a work night. It starts at 4:00pm and it's going to be sunny and warm. Even if you can't stay long please try and make it. Come on everyone it's time to nut it up for CAMM. Thanks.

Wish I could, Tom. You're right; it's really short notice. I'm sure it will be great.

I'm just going to put my head on my desk and sob quietly for a bit.
