"I smell chicken".

That's what we used to post when we invited others to a "Chicken Run". Was no rhyme or reason to it, we just felt a need to hang out with other car guys.

This was a local event I started back in2003. Hosted at Del Rhea's Chicken Basket along old Rt. 66 in Willowbrook, Il., it's not hard to find and I'll give directions to anyone who needs them. BTW, a section of original Rt. 66 pavement remains close by, and its great for pics and burnouts.

We (JustBob and me) talked about resurrecting this old meet, and we agreed that it was time to try it again, at least one more time.

Mark your calendars for May 20th, 1 PM in Del Rhea's parking lot. In the old days, we spent about 2-3 hours in this generous lot shooting the bull over our cars (boy, we are good at that) and other stuff. However, no idiot stuff by the restaurant. That's what got us kicked out a few years back.

So...Looking forward to hooking up with y'all. All hot rods are welcome, this meet is to open to everyone (hear me Uncle Lar?). Let's get it restarted, and do it right this time.

Sunday, May 20th, 1 PM, lunch by 3 PM.

See y'all there, y'all be safe.

that sounds great, i hope i will be able to make this one.

I miss the meets where we are all just standing and shootin shyt
 
Mac shot the idea by me yesterday and I was all for it. My first meet there was my first Marauder meet ever and unfortionately the last time we ever returned.. That was '08, this is '12 and a lot has changed since then, new members, new cars, hopefully better service... But I thought he had a great idea giving it a go again, I look forward to it.

Well that date happens to be my day off, if all is settled down with my mom, I will be there. As for doing anything stupid around there, I will make sure we will be covered as that is our beat for the office, so we can have a little fun.:burnout:

I'd love to do this, but the 19th/20th is the weekend for our first points race at Cedar Falls Raceway.

Have fun y'all!
 
Come on fellas. Scared to put some miles on your cars?

I remember reading old posts re: this gathering. Always seemed to be a great time.....ranked right up there with the monthly Southern Marauder gathering that is still going strong since 2002 :banana2:
I just shot off an email to Rick ( Slowpoke ) to see if I could shake him out of hiding ..... Jet should be driving by now :D
 
I used to enjoy those Chicken Runs! I made a few of them. I think my first meet-up was at a Mercury dealer on Skokie many moons ago.

Sadly, I sold my MM last year and drive a whimpy Charger.
