Chicago Area Spring Test and Tune

Here it is, a spring rotary get together, dust'm off and tune'm up..... um... get together. I am thinking that we will take advantage of the first weekend that one of these tracks has for their first Test and Tune days. Cheap racing all day, and I personally will be doing chassis setup and some engine tuning on my FC so if you don't have the ability to bring tools or plain don't have tools to tune with I will have all of my stuff there. We will also have a BBQ lunch in the pits.

I want to see which track will generate the most interest for attendance. So vote up if you are interested.

I will be putting this on all three boards (RX-8, RX-7, RC3) and the total from those three will determine the final location.

Ryan

I might be interested but I have a lot of work to do first. I need to install my turbo, get it street tuned, get it dyno tuned, and drive it for a while. When are you looking to do this?

Probably early spring is the timeframe. Do you still want me to vote even though I would just spectate ... I've been to Route 66 to spec before, it's a pretty big place and not bad if you can get a pit crew bracelet

Yes please vote. I am not really interested in getting a lot of people together for racing, just getting people together. And if we have the potential for more attendance, even though they maybe just spectators, at one particular race track then that is where we should have it.

Rt. 66 is closer but it's always super crowded. Everyone would get way more runs in at Byron. What about Great Lakes?
