I know man. I am trying to become a Packers fan. The big problem is, I feel like I have to suffer with a team before they become contenders. The Packers are already great. I suffered for years as a Colts fan until Peyton and Harrison and Wayne came along. I am sure the Chi guys know what I am talking about.

Maybe now that Jeff Saturday from the Colts is snapping for Rodgers, I can settle in with the pack.

Anyone up for making another race day? Byron Dragway has Test & Tune for $30 all day. Their schedule also shows it being North Shore Corvette Club. I'd love to race some vettes to see how I do against them.

Hopefully I will be testing out my new setup that weekend with MBH headers, mids, and x-pipe I'm getting installed at Speedriven.

It will happen as long as the offense clicks for there home opener don't you worry.

Haha, right now I am orange and blue. Kinda ugly, but my new Jersey says 18 on it. You can see the pressure I am under now that I live in Wisconsin.

I am planning on 5pm. Track is open from 4pm to 10pm. $30 to race.

Does any one have any drag tires they want to sell that fit a E55?

Me too.

The weather report so far is nice this weekend in Chi. Anyone interested in shooting for a meet? The Schamburg area works pretty good for me, but I am up for most options, although I would like to keep my drive from Wisconsin down to two hours or less.

Agreed, I don't want to drive to far from Wisconsin either but I'd be happy to meet and just hang out or do whatever.

I remember gazosnic saying he couldn't make a meet until the 29th or 30th. The Bears play Monday night that week so Sunday should not be a problem. Maybe we should push this out a week and really try to get some people together. We are running out of time.

U guys still up for a meet the weekend of the 29th/30? Instead of Schaumburg could always do something mid point north if it helps the Wi guys like northbrook. Or could revert back to Schaumburg or oakbrook.

Yep! definitely up for the last weekend of September. Northbrook would work for me.

I'd be down to meet up with you guys. I need to subscribe to this thread because I've missed the past ones by a day or two since I am usually in the C63 forum.

Also, I might be hitting up Byron Dragway that Saturday 9/29. I''m getting my headers installed at Speedriven this Saturday so my car will be sounding super sexy at WOT and will be much quicker at the track. I think it is North Shore Corvette Club day so I'm hoping to take on a few vettes and show them some german muscle.

Hopefully some of the chi folks can help you. I went to a couple of larger muffler shops and they made me feel like a criminal. I then walked into a little shop in Indianapolis that had been around for years. They did a great job and inexpensively.
