For those of you that will have your cars together by May 10th, a day at Route 41 is available. It is located in Moroco, Indiana. It is about 50 miles south of Chicago.
The track has been reserved by a group that a friend of mine belongs to. It will be available from 0800 to approximate 1500 hours on Saturday, May 10.
The cost will be minimal and determined by the total number of participants, probably around $25. They usually have a small number of people attend, so the track will be available almost at will.
No tech inspections.
No reservations required. Just show up.

Dennis or John, if you see this, can you forward it to the local guys for which you have e-mail addresses? Just want to make sure they know about it.

Thanks,

Dana

It's open to anyone? Do you have the exact address for it so I can get directions? I think it would be cool. I have a 12sec car with a 13sec driver:(

Hey, I might be able to make it! I really want to go to the track. Only problem is that I have to work that day at 11. I might be able to make a couple of passes if I get there early enough. We will see!

Holy Shitz!!! :thumbsup: :D

I'd probably show up, not sure if I'd want to run though. I have a friend that'd probably come, and run though. If you remember that Buick Regal at the meeting in Mokena, thats him. Except now he's running big tires, and a 100shot.

Helmets? How much to run? to watch?

Let me know if its okay.

You usually dont need helmets there or pretty much any safety equipment because they just dont care. You basically sign your life away when you go there !! Its good though because I ran a 12.4 there without a helmet, driveshaft loop or anything on nittos and they said HAVE FUN

hj16,
What 03Cob said
and
That is not my show down there, I am only passing along something I thought we might all be able to have fun at.
I was told everyone was welcome.
As far as cost, it will be determined by the number of people that show up. Probably around $25 or so, depends on the numbers, but it will be like having the track to yourself!
I don't have any more info on costs as far as spectators go, but I would guess that that would be little or nothing.

NO tech inspections, I was told.

Looking forward to it since it will be great to get some runs in without waiting for hours in between each one.

I hope you get a good turnout and it would be cool to see a bunch of 03s running....stock and modded.

It was rained out. I went and the track was closed.
No rain date has been rescheduled although this same group has a date reserved in September sometime.
