I'm in the SW suburbs..been here for 12 years and came from Boston. Chicago is a great city with a few exceptions. The gangbangers are out of control. Fiscally run into ruin buy liberals the last 40 years. State is the WORST to own a business in. Taxes will keep climbing to pay for the libs giveaways to buy votes. And I don't even think about concealed carry. At least they allow me to own firearms unlike the city!!!!

Had the V about 2 weeks and LOVE it....especially coming from a Yukon Denali.

Perhaps a track day in Joliet?

Got my Caddy Appreciation appointment Aug 4 at the Autobahn in Joliet. Can't wait to see how this does on a track.

I've been spotting some V1s around my area. One Black V1 parked by Irving Park & Forrest Preserve Dr and what looked like a Thunder Grey or Stealth Grey V1 by Pulaski and Peterson Ave. Anyone?

Only OFFICIAL 1/4 mile experiences are at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet. Never been to the Autobahn in Joliet but it is a private "Country Club" except instead of a golf course, they have a race track I would LOVE to join but it is a 30K bond before you even start to pay the yearly. Not gonna happen unless my business doubles in the next six months

Is Route 41 in Morocco, IN? Probably an 1-1.5 hours away. Wouldn't mind checking it out. Route 66 runs test and tune on the weekends now while they used to do it on a weeknight. I'm guessing it will be much more crowded now that it is on the weekend. What is the setup at Route 41?

Yes, let us know what you think. I would definitely consider a trip there if it is a decent facility.
