Nice! thanks for the heads up Ryz.. I think I'll be there

 

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?

 

Bah, I kan't reed. Let's make this foolproof for me

If anyone wants a meet listed in the first post, just send me the following info:

EVENT NAME
Date | Time
Location Name
Address of Location
Any links or other info

 

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

theres alwasy something going on and its usealy on this site ^ next weekend maywood has a maita club event and rt66 has a scca event

maywood isnt far at all from you its on north ave. and 5th ave. in melrose park, IL

 

Nice!! thanks for the link.. North and 5th is really close!
damn I gotta buy a helmet I think hehe..

 

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

 

I didn't think of craigslist! great idea .. I was thinking I want a decent motorcycle helmet anyway.. what do they [not] check? the d.o.t. sticker?

 

you can get a dot approved helmet for around 20-30 new at mijer. thats where i got mine for my bike

 

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

 

dot isnt what they want what they look for is a SNELL SA 2005 helmet but no one realy cares never had any one check mine is only dot

 

i know its on my list of stuff to get this winter! rci makes some nice priced snell sa2005 helmets

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.

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.

 

sOo....anyone deciding on sonic saturday night?!

 

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.

 

I'm down for a Sonic meet Saturday nite.
