how far is springfeild from des plains il close to chicago

 

i work in des plaines actually. google says it is ~203 miles, 3 hrs and 22 min.
google maps: des plaines -> springfield

 

3 1/2 hours is a long drive for winedy roads sounds like a hell of a time thow...............do you live near des plains?

 

if you think 3.5 hrs is bad, check out how far a bunch of us will be driving for the dragon (see sig)! i can't remember, but it's gotta be around 10 - 12 hrs or something...each way. nope i don't live in des plaines, just work there...i live on the northside of chicago.

 

do yOu guys go out there to race around and power slide or drift corners or just for the drive?

 

no

more or less

 

We're getting close to the date of this drive - Saturday May 5.

Anyone that's coming, lets plan on rolling out at 10 AM. That should put us back in Springfield again between 5-6 PM.

Meet at Starbucks at 3412 Freedom Dr, Springfield, IL. That's in a shopping area along the West side of S. Veterans Parkway, less than a mile North of interstate 72. There's a McDonalds next to it. This is in the SW corner of Springfield.

If you're coming from the North or South on I55, the fastest way to reach Starbucks is to go West on I72, get off at S. Veterans Parkway then go North.

My cell phone number is 217-855-5743.

Roll call.....?

As much as I want to go, there is no way I can make it there by 10 am. I live 4.5 hours away.

 

i would go but i have a meet planned on 5/5 im might change the date depending on how many people are going and the weather.

 

One last bump.

See ya at Starbucks if you're coming!
