CHICAGO/MIDWEST PRIVATE TRACK DAY-MAY 17


What’s the perfect way to kick off the Spring season and show off all of those new mods? DRAG RACING !!!

I was fortunate enough to secure Saturday May 17th for a full private day (9-5) with 2 lanes available for head-to-head racing.

Due to the generous sponsorship of LET (www.LETmotorsports.com) and CPT (www.gocpt.com) the price per car for this event will be $100, max 20 cars. ( PM me for PayPal info.) This is a bargain for a weekend event.

As always, food and drink will be provided. Please bring you appetites along with your helmets and long pants, per NHRA regs.

Please PM me with any questions, or feel free to post up here. I look forward to seeing everyone at the track.

TRACK INFO:

US41 DRAGWAY (link)

2695 W. 50 S.
MOROCCO, INDIANA 47963

I may try and make the trip down from MN. For now, 30% with odds likely to go up!

BTW, had the E out Friday night for a 50 mile drive. The temp was 4 degrees (dry clear roads) and every time under power the ASP light flashed all the way to the 2-3 shift!

The Kompressor likes the cold air!

I think we should all go ahead and pay Wayne for our spot.

The last few times we have waited until the very end of the event. However, I have about 5 people wanting to go from the crossfire forum but we wanted the MB guys to get first stab.

It would suck for 6 people to back out at the last minute...then we would all get stuck with the $600 bill to split.

If I want to bring 2 cars, is it double entry fee or would that boot someone? I have a friend who would like to bring his S600.

This is a family event, but it seems to be a bit trying for the wee ones under 12 or so. That's your call.

They do run Junior Dragsters there......you should get him started.

One entry per car, so double the fee, please. I would love to see the S600 run. That might just be the push over the edge into the V12 camp for me...
