Default Chicago area autox's this weekend

Well, I'll finally be able to properly test drive the CR this weekend.

Saturday - Chicago Region SCCA, Joliet, IL
Sunday - Tri-State Sports Car Council, Joliet, IL or Salt Creek Sports Car Club, Maywood, IL

Not sure which one(s) I'll be doing, but if it stays dry, I will definitely do at least 1 this weekend, if not both. Giving rides too.

Looks like the motorsport season will only last the next few weekends until the S gets stored.

Chime in if you're going to be able to make these.

I'm probably going to SCSCC as well. The only thing that can stop me is if I go to Chicago Region on Saturday and it's an awesome course that they run backwards for TSSCC on Sunday.

WCMC had a wicked course this past weekend - felt really fast (as opposed to the usual tight Miata-biased usual) and included 2 figure-8s and a single cone "loop" that you had to encircle before tripping the lights at the end of the course. I've _never_ gotten my s2k tires this hot before - they're all bubbled like my racebike tires get at a track day.

Dammit. Wish I could have gone .

You planning on coming to any of the events this weekend? If you do, you can pick up that dash mount.

I'd like to do at least one this weekend, too. Kinda bummed I missed out on the WCMC this past weekend, but I also was out of town. Let me know which one you decide to do, and I'll definitely join in.

I just realized I can't do the one on Saturday due to a prior engagement. However, if you still chose to do one on Sunday Pat, let me know which one and I'm there.

Can't make any this weekend - kids are going to stay with my parents while the wife and I "get sore" celebrating our 18th wedding anniversary...by installing laminate over about 1/3 of the first floor of our house.

Is there a Thursday meet this week? If not, maybe I can p/u from you at WCMC on the 18th?
