FYI - state farm told me that as long as I wasn't being timed, racing, or doing anything illegal that they would cover me for an HPDE.

2 yrs ago, we saw a RX8 wreck at Road America @ turn 13. He had State Farm insurance. The car was a total loss. The company covered the loss. But, they told him that they would only cover it once.

You would be better off looking in the "Upcoming IL/WI Track Days" thread.

Heh, the dealer who I bought my 8 from sent me the email...smells like a setup

Oh, and congrats RSD

Been busy lately. Nice to see another WWP has turned up (best color out there IMO). Looking forward to the parade on Monday. Weather looks iffy at best. I'm sure we will have a good time anyway.

Thanks for all the congrats!

FYI, if the weather has any chance of rain my greyhound "periscope" mod will have to stay home. No desire for muddy feet in the SheDev! She's been washed, waxed and clay barred Now I just have to do the interior (can you tell I'm procrastinating?)

We've got magnetic signs for all entered cars. Feel free to bring a bag (or eight) of candy to throw if you have a passenger. I will be forgoing the candy or the periscope will have his face in it!!!

Negative on the candy idea, Ghostrider. They state strongly in the rules that you can't throw anything from the cars

Glad I checked this this morning...I was going to get the magnetic sheets and make a few. :-)

Did you make any of the logos all black? or is our logo officially black/red

Yea, we missed the no-shows, but luckily this allowed the alternates a chance to run with us! Tornados always ruin the day (esp on a motorcycle!)

THANKS TO ALL THE CARS IN THE PARADE!!! And especially thanks to Mark (mdw1000) for having this so well organized!!!!!!!

We were definitely a hit with the red/white/blue theme, revving together, transformers, and the "is that a dog?!?!?" coming out of the sunroof!!

I got majorly sunburned ... I have a very un-tanned bizarre shape on my neck from the rotary necklace!!

For those of you who took pics ... post em up!

Talking New EVOLV-Chicago Online Store!!!

Yep, it's finally open for business (though it's a very, very small business right now)

Check out our swag store! EVOLV-Chicago Online Store will continue to add products so please stay tuned! So far there's only a plain white t-shirt, but hey, it's something

I hope to have the store up and fully "stocked" by next week, so please keep checking back. All proceeds go toward EVOLV-Chicago meets & events to keep us going strong.

Enjoy!

We'd like to hear your thoughts, please post thoughts/suggestions/etc. in the Chicago Area Lounge.
