Could someone post details on the race. I can't open the flier from the chicagoland site, format not supported. I know the days, looking for race details like gamblers races and times for time trials. Trying to decide on driving down Friday morning or afternoon. Thanks, Dennis

Thanks, Mike - you beat us to it.

[Dennis Halladay]

Thanks, Mike.
I was hoping for a gamblers race and what about GSE class. Hope to see a good turnout, last year was a blast.

Due to lack of participation this year we canceled the series. Many of the racers broke or have lost some interest I would love to run the series again but till then I think I am going to keep running the NMCA American muscle car class it is a good time. You should bring the new car over this weekend and run I will be there Friday and plan to stay there all weekend.

[Dennis Halladay]

Thanks for the update Bobb. I may stop over this coming weekend. I need to get some work done on the 68, nobody wants it so I am going to change some things and keep racing until someone decides to buy it from me. Changing tires, starter and porting the intake for now, that should take care of any known problems for Morocco race and maybe see the 10.50 range. Hope that I have enough for Super 8 but have my doubts.

[Bernie]

The Big Hospitality Tent is ordered, the Cajun cook will be there again, and US 41 Dragstrip is ready for us. Indiana Chapter will be doing the Car Show. Chicagoland will have great BLACK event T-shirts. Jack Cotton, Brian Earik and the Ohio crew and Ken Seggy from Canada will be there....just to mention a few. Harry Hruska will have his crew there with the BIG trailer.
The negative is potential rain :( Currently just a 40% chance for Sat. and only 30% for Sunday. If the rain gets bad we will travel to Harry Hruska's place in Hebron, bring the Cajun Cook along, and continue to party.:-)
Prize money is very close to last year. But we have some certificates and free services for the winners.

Hope to see you there !
