Drag racing (and if the drag strip builds the parking lot this year... autocross) is on Friday.
Then the regular meet/show is on Saturday.

The drag strip is just over the border into Wisconsin in Union Grove.

The show is in Grayslake, so an hour from Naperville.

Why? it would only be colder at home.. and i do like the idea of a snow autocross
seperate the drivers from the women (sorry women, no offence intended).
Anyone can drive on drive pavement.

Most likely going down US 20 thru Galena, youre not too far from there right? took some back road route through Wisconsin last year. Found some fun roads but even with the elevated speeds it took about an hour longer.

Galena is about 45 minutes from where I live. Next time I go home from school in a week I'll scout to see if there is any e85 in gaylena. Will you drive through stockton too then?

I remember rain. You fixing your car, getting it off the trailer then more rain. And whiskey in there somewhere.

@sandman I haven't planned out the full route yet butI would imagine so.

Sounds like a plan Adam.

I believe it was a bp right down the road actually and the pump was broken. Whitnith had to have a friend bring her some.

Ill be bringing a 5 gal jug just in case.
