Supercar Saturdays - June 4th @ The Arboretum of South Barrington

Registration Now Open!
Supercar Saturdays - June 4, 2010 at 9 AM



It's time to gear up for another fantastic Supercar Saturdays event coming up on June 4th. Same time, same place: The Arboretum of South Barrington from 9 AM to noon (however please arrive at 8 AM if you plan to display your car). We had a blast at the first event with over 150 cars in attendance despite some looming clouds. Look past your memorial day weekend plans, and RSVP today to reserve your preferred parking spot at the best morning show in the Chicagoland area. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Got questions? We've got answers. CHECK OUT OUR FAQ PAGE

For those of you who don't know the history of the event, here it is:

We’d like to consider ourselves to be original; but the concept is the same: set up an event to bring car enthusiasts of all types together in one place to meet, share stories, and make new friends.

We welcome anyone and everyone who shares our vision; preferred parking will be made available to early registrants and vehicles of exceptional interest. Our goal is to make this a diverse event with everything from classics and muscle cars to exotics and modified contemporary cars.
We look forward to seeing you next week!

Yep! That's me! Hah! I just realized that I'm familiar with your user name from Vortex as well! I tried to register here as "JimmyD" but it said the name was already taken! Booo!

Sadly, I parted out TheBattleBug in 2008 and all thats left of it are miscellaneous parts in my basement, wheels and tons of great memories!

Did anyone snap any pics or videos from Supercar Saturday? I wanted to attend, but we were at a family birthday event in Chicago.

AWESOME! I really want to make it out to the next one.

Next month, we should get a group of Minis together and all roll in at the same time.

Ha, the guy with the red FJ is a friend of my uncles'. That blue shifter kart is ridiculously fast.

Last time I went, a fight broke out between the owner of a white R35 GT-R and some kid who was launching it out in the street. Pretty interesting little meet-up!

Sweet, that's right down the road from my parents' place in the burbs. Maybe I'll stop in.

How was it? We didn't attend after all, because the venue was changed to Bolingbrook... which was just too far for us.

When it comes back to the Barrington area, we'll check it out.

I went pretty late due to a possible car sale. My buddy was there with his relatively rare '87 535is, but I showed up with a new acquisition ...

Granted, it was on a flatbed, but it sure was pretty.

Yep. It's a 1973 Euro (Imported by Heinz Meis - President of Gemballa North America ) 3.0 CS that someone in the 80s decided to turn into an early CSL replica.

It is in need of alot of restoration ... Floorboards and trunk are rotted out. Rear windscreen hoop is rotted out. Rocker panels are rotted out. Passenger rear strut mount failed and the damper busted through the strut tower and punched out one of the rear speakers from the rear deck.

It seems that even in the 1970s, BMW couldn't get the hang of manufacturing strut mounts.
