Drag racing (and if the drag strip builds the parking lot this year... autocross) is on Friday.
Then the regular meet/show is on Saturday.

The drag strip is just over the border into Wisconsin in Union Grove.

The show is in Grayslake, so an hour from Naperville.

Most likely going down US 20 thru Galena, youre not too far from there right? took some back road route through Wisconsin last year. Found some fun roads but even with the elevated speeds it took about an hour longer.

I remember rain. You fixing your car, getting it off the trailer then more rain. And whiskey in there somewhere.

@sandman I haven't planned out the full route yet butI would imagine so.

Sounds like a plan Adam.
