Our cars were called hot rods, with the biggest engines. Our pipes were as loud as they legally could be. We paved the street with burnout marks.

Scoop the Loop presented by North Shore Rods Inc. It was happening in small towns and big cities across America. It began in the 50’s. Sometimes it centered around a local drive-in. Food was brought to your car by waitresses on roller-skates. Sometimes it centered around a movie theater or roller rink where the kids would hang out. This phenomenon...some called it cruising—we called it “scoop’n.”
We would ride round and round in a big loop that included only certain streets as part of the route we would take. Our cars were called hot rods, with the biggest engines we could build. We decorated our cars with flames and scallops. Some were pinstriped. The paint was flawless and gleamed in the light of the night. Fuzzy dice swayed from our mirrors to the music of Dion blasting through our radios. Our cars were like lures, enticing other drivers who didn’t know what was under our hoods, to think about challenging our massive horsepower in a race down an abandoned highway. Our cars attracted girls who wanted their friends to see them being picked-up and driven around town. Hours would pass, along with gallons and gallons of gas. We think you’ve got the picture. Yep, those were the days and we called it “scoop’n.”
North Shore Rods Inc., is interested in preserving those fond memories. In July of 1998, our non-profit organization once again introduced the nostalgic “scoop’n” concept as an annual weekend event. It was officially named Scoop The Loop. Just fewer than 1,000 cars proudly paraded down the main street of Waukegan, Illinois. Forty thousand people lined the streets for blocks to watch the spectacular street rods, muscle cars, and even Grandpa’s model T, strut their stuff. A variety of great foods were offered by vendors serving out of colorful tents. Ice cold beer and pop quenched the public’s thirst. Children played games, made craft items and had their faces painted during “Kids Fest.” The crowds got a close look at the vehicles on display in the huge classic car show. They got to vote for their favorites. People enjoyed the automotive exhibits, and danced the evenings away to the music of popular bands. Ahhh yes, we thought we were very cool way back then. And, some of us think we’re just as cool today. So once a year we re-live that happy and carefree time by “scoop’n” in Scoop The Loop. Come join us... don’t miss it. North Shore Rods, Inc. will produce Scoop The Loop...a replication of the good-old scoop’n days of yester-years in downtown Waukegan, IL. While Scoop The Loop continues to grow, it took only one year to establish the weekend event as the largest classic car activity in the entire Lake County, Illinois region. Proceeds from Scoop The Loop assist financially troubled students pursue vocational education’s. North Shore Rods Inc. is dedicated to fostering a continued interest in and the promotion of, street rods, hot rods, muscle cars, classic and antique cars and trucks, by providing financial aide to underprivileged students in pursuit of a vocational education, via producing car related fund-raising activities such as Scoop The Loop.
