That micro show is mere blocks from my house. I still doubt I will care enough to go, unless any of you guys are going to be there. I just really can't stand car shows.
i think i will and it would be nice to say hi at least....
can i parkin your drive then?
cool show - Crystal Lake is a bit of a hike from the south Chicago Suburbs...
Midwest Treffen is this weekend also, VW autocross Saturday and VW show on Sunday. VW, VW, VW....just kidding
Funny,
I grew up in Crystal Lake, and used to ride mountain bikes at Meadowdale before they turned it into a park. It blew our minds when we figured out that it used to be a road racing course. I'd love to attend, but won't be up there until next month. (heading to the SCCA Runoffs)
Autox with Windy City Miata Club Sunday.... working on cars Saturday.

I used to go to Meadowdale when it was an operating track. Very cool watching as a kid.
Meadowdale looks like it was a fun track. Too bad it went to the wayside.
Last time I was by there the front gate and the silo was still there. I hopped the fence and the bridge was there also. It was very cool.
We were out there once on our bikes and came across a section of the old track just before a washed out bridge. On the pavement there was script that said "PRAY". I guess this was the entrance to the old Monza turn. (since removed)
pretty cool place, still is
to many cool things to do...some one just had to mention autocross..sigh...now what do i do damnit.......i need and want to get out of the house.......not sure if i show up to watch the autocross or the car show....sigh....guess i decide tonnight so i know which way i am driving....
