Try the Lake Michigan Model Car Club and I believe they're in the Bensenville area.

I stand to be corrected as the Evergreen/Oaklawn area is pretty far from Bensenville. Offhand I don't know of any model car clubs in or near your area.

Looks like the ball is in your court Alan and maybe you could check the local hobbyshops and start a club? Give it a go, what have you got to lose?

The president of LMMCC lives in Oak Lawn. There are members who come from the south suburbs such as Frankfort. And there are members who come from Northwest Indiana.

Maybe you should contact him and see if you could meet up and share the ride? Great way to make a new friend and save some gas & toll money.
