Rockton veteran honored with memorial cruise, ‘He was my best friend’ ROCKTON, Ill. (WTVO) — After the sudden passing of 73-year-old Tom Evans, his friends and family organized a way to celebrate his life, using the thing he loved most: cars. As a car enthusiast, Eva…

Don’t usually do this but let’s see if we can help this guy out. He picked the car up from someone in the Rockford area but doesn’t know anything about it. He was once told that it used to run circles around people but it doesn’t appear to be much.
Does anyone know anything about this Monte? Post it here and let’s see if we can help!

Next Saturday. Check it out.

If you've been in the car scene for any amount of time or been to just about any of the shows in the Rockford area then you have come across Tom and his Lil Red Express truck. And if you were lucky... you struck up a conversation with him, which wasn't hard. He would talk to just about anyone. Tom would've been 74 in August. Keep Tom and his family in your thoughts and prayers and don't be surprised if there is a moment of silence at all the car shows coming up.
Rest In Peace Tom.

Dam… hundred bucks to the winner. And a trophy.
Sounds fun!

The winner takes home $100 cash and a cool hand made trophy!
The panel of judges will decide who has the best sounding vehicle at the show! Don't miss it!

Belvidere Cruise Night this Saturday night!
If you only go to one cruise night a year... this is the one you want to go to! HUGE!
