Hey Ryz, I'll put that in the first post as a meet. Can you confirm the location? It has two different addresses in the first post on the link

I thought the main meet was at the park, Rt 59 and Golf, but you have the option to meet up earlier at rosen mazda at 11:30am .. maybe I read it wrong?

Thats the way I read it. The Rosen location was a meeting point to caravan to the Park District site.

full face motorcycle helmets work great for autox. no club has ever checked and you can get them for about $20-30 on craigslist. they were even cool with it at autobahn last time i was there and i hear gingerman doesnt check either

Autocrossing OK, but I want more than a $50 helmet on my head when I'm tracking.

I perfer an open face helmet. My current one is a Bell SA1990 and I'm due for an upgrade. I will probably buy a G-Force.
http://www.gforce.com/products/helmets/3001.php

At one time there was some question about what would happen if a cars air bag went off. The speculation was that it might do damage to the vertebrae in the neck. I never heard the outcome of that discussion. I can see the need for a full face helmet on a motorcycle (I have gone down on a bike) and open cockpit race cars. When you are surrounded by metal and belted in, I think an open face will suffice.

I believe this is correct. In regards to BBQ, I think a couple are trying to bring grills.

Wow, sorry guys I totally dropped the ball on reposting this meet. I mentioned it a couple weeks ago and then left again. Glad someone got it up!

It is a BBQ, but the grills seem to be lacking in quantity, so if you want to bring yours again they will probably appreciate it.

They also mentioned that if they don't end up with grills then everyone could go out somewhere after the park.
