L.E.T.'S MIDWEST DRAG DAY- JULY 19

I am trying to talk several of my friends into making the drive and participating, one has a new R8 and the other has a wickedly fast NSX. I also have a couple guys that want to drive out and just watch, do spectators have to pay the $104? I am actually trying to talk them into participating as well, they have decent cars (2007 328i, and 2007 530i) but are afraid they will be laughed off the track, I told them it's not like that, but they don't believe me. I'm trying hard to fill some empty spots for you guys.

Dasrok8; I'm gonna be up in your neck of the woods next week, staying in Birmingham, picking up an F car at Cauley with a friend. We are going to try to sample some of the local female talent, last time I was up there I hit a grand slam. What are some new summertime hot spots? A couple years ago we hit up a bar at the Townsend and some Dirty Martini place or something, I forget the exact name. When is the Dream Cruise?
Thanks,
Thanks,
PM sent

Accu-weather is saying 40% chance of thunderstorms, but only in the afternoon or early eve. That is actually better than yesterday, yesterday it was at 50%. I am going to be there by 8:30, run through tech and be on the track as soon as the drivers meeting is over. I will be long gone by noon, well before the rain is supposed to be falling.

If his test was early like 9am I can see going and taking him but it could end at 2:30 plus the hour roughy to get there just isn't a great day and honestly I prefer to go by myself or my friend with his kid cause I worry to much and it will spoil my time.

Dude, I like the way you think! "plus the hour roughly to get there" You think you can make it from Elgin to Morocco, IN in roughly an hour? A man after my own heart, Mapquest says 1 hour 52 minutes from my address in Naperville and you are another 30 minutes futher than me! LOL! Let's go for it, be at my house at 6:30am breakfast is on me! Let's see if we can "make it in roughly an hour" from my place.

Rain, rain.
Alternate date is August 30.
PM me for a refund, if desired. Otherwise payment can be rolled over to the rain date.

Darn. Bum deal with the rain. I was packed up and ready to hydroplane down to the track.
I'll check if I can make it on the rain date, but I think the next date is right after a track date for me. I might be driving on slicks by then.

Fortunatly I was not too far from home when I got the phone call...what aq bummer!
If anyone is interested I am going to hit up the test and tune this Tuesday night at Route 66. I was pumped to see what she could run with the new goodies. Tuesday is supposed to be a little cooler and running at night should help out as well.
