I know there was another thread on this event, but registration for public opens on the 18th (friday).

I would urge anyone in the area to at least attend as a spectator. This event is going to be HUGE! There is going to be a lot of press coverage, LOTS of high end cars, and some famous cars even coming. For instance, the AMS alpha omega GTR will be there, Sharkey's 1250+ whp supra, POSSIBLY UGR's lamborghinis.

The entrance fee is high (195 before February 1st, 225 after until it fills up. 150 cars a day. 350 for both days), but spectating is like 15 dollars and you're free to walk around the pits I believe to see the cars.


I have been selected for and completed early registration myself for Saturday June 1st, so I will be there hopefully representing the cars well with both my attitude and the car itself. Its not confirmed yet, but the other, faster, more famous, sexier Ryan (from zzp) and/or Matt M may also be entering to represent the community! So come on out and have a great time!

there will be

Standing:
1/2 Mile
1/4 Mile
1/8 Mile

Rolling:
1/2 mile


The 'after party' late that night will be great as well. There are going to be ALOT of nice fast cars all over Chicago having the itch to sit down....

i would love to go if everythign is all set with my car

Scythe_Snake

I posted links and videos up top! Lol. And 135 is quite the bit. Its long but not as long as ibe might think. Most of the vettes and the like were barely seeing that trap.

I always support seeing OG member cars being brought!

Dont wait if you want to sign up. This event is going to be huge and its limited to 150 cars a day. Thats not that many really.

Ryan you should be good for 140 minimum. You got more power then I had and I trapped 133 in the quarter, still on streets.

Scythe_Snake

I'm hoping I do well Chris. Would be nice if you showed up as well! Could shoot the **** and I could buy you a beer or something. Better yet have your stuff in it. :X
