Evolv-Chicago Meets HERE...
Below is a philosophy on how to handle driving on the street. As we approach the crusing season, I think it's a good and well thought out plan for us as well. It is written with motorcycles in mind, but it can also be applied to cars.

foe everyone going to INDY those out of state members/guests - even out of county - they just
posted on the news this morning that ALL the police dept here in the county
just kicked off "dangerous driver" task forces... they will be agressively
pulling over agressive drivers... There are target intersections around town
as well that that the are especially focusing on.. and yep, 2 of them are
on the south side of town where we will all be...
65/Southport Rd/Emerson Avenue and US 31/Stop 11
It appears that they are mainly doing is targeting interstections where
there are high accident rates. Pretty much, if you're driving in town,
keep to the speed limit, dont tail gate, and what ever you do - if you dont
think you can get thru the intersection before the red light comes on ...
DONT DO IT! Two min into it this morning ON the morning news - saw them
pull over their first guy on one of their north side for just that very thing, and
you could see him in the background, he just barely didnt make it and off
they went after him... They also pointed out using turn signals ...

I went down for the INDY RX8 Club meet yesterday, what a great event! Everyone was friendly, the event was well organized, and the turn out was great. What a great group of people! I hope to have the time to attend more events that they put on in the future. I took Lauren (my 10 yr old) and she had a great day as well.
The only negative about the whole day was that it is a long drive (from North of Chicago).
Those guys (and girls) put on a great event.

Hey,
How does a dyno day sound? I was going to go to one out here in Madison but I would think it would be more fun to have a dyno meet. I'm not from Chicago so I won't be able to set this up since I don't know of any shops in the area. I just want to throw the idea out there.

You may want to consider these two for your Dyno Day.

I don't know of anyone that has taken a rotary to GRD. But, they just move into a new location that is about a mile from my home. I know P&L has extensive experience & a long association with Cobb Tunning Accessport.
