Just a heads up if people wanna meet at the 41 drag strip(nolimit raceway). They have the Ultimate Shootout on that Saturday. So nobody will be able to make passes, if anybody was planning on it. But we can go to the track on Sunday , since its test and tune day. Open from 2 - 7. But Im game to meet up anywhere.

I too would be down for this. Its only about a 5hr drive for me from where I am at so thats not too bad. I probably would not participate in any races but it would be really cool to see what these LS4's can do. Count me in and let me know what kind of hotel deal we can get. I have no problem going in on a block of rooms as long as its not at the 4 seasons LOL

LOL, we'll do something a little better than a 4 seasons.

Anyway, so is it official that we are meeting up on Saturday, August 8th? Also, where are we going to meet in Indiana?

Rt 66 in Joliet will be the next closest track other than 41. Which is about a hour drive from Schererville. 25 dollars to buy the card, and 15 for spectators. They are more strict on Tech than 41 is.

http://www.route66raceway.com/

There are a handful of newly built hotels that are pretty much neighbors with the Hooters there. Plus the parking lot that the Hooters shares is big enough for all of us to meet up and hang out.

Plenty of strip clubs in the area. You have about 3/4 that are about a 20 min drive from Schererville. The one in Gary has a car and bike show every first Sat. of the month.

ok we need to make someone the person who is incharge of all of this. then of course find a good track and hotel. Then when it starts getting closer to the time we meet up we all get each others numbers so we all make it and no one gets lost.

route 66 looks good but if the nearest hotel is an hour away from that then idk.
