Default MFBA cordova track rental, may 7th 2011

The midwest f-body association has rented cordova dragway in cordova, IL again for this springs event on may 7th, 2011 from 9-2pm.


Our cost is $35 a car + 1 driver, $5 per spectator, and kids under 10 are free.

This is a great low key family style event, we all relax, shoot the breeze and get into some great racing. I'll be there to sign autographs as well


this is open to all makes and all models.....


if you're serious on going please paypal the money to: mfba@fbody.us

please include your name and screen name in the description so we know who pays us. We are on their track schedule as well, since we've had some people in the past wanting to make sure this is a legit thing I guess.


So come see some great f-bodies and bring your non-GM cars if looking for a little rivalry.




hope to see you there!

Yeah I'd love to go to an f-body event but that is about 4 hours from me, wouldn't be worth it unless there was a ton of other cars there like 350+. My truck loves the gas when towing my precious cargo.

well we can rent a closer track but it would be around $125 a car minimum to host the event...so it's pay for the gas and race at a nicer facility or race local and need several thousand pre-paid before even trying to go forward with it.

they may or may not mention it, depends on what it runs I suppose. You can always install the handle style cut off switch and remove the long bar when not in use and you wouldn't see the small hole under the taillight at all for street cruising.

As long as your car doesn't look serious, they usually mark your number and sit back in their lawn chair. lol

I need to get some new times with the car. Seems like everytime I go to the track something goes wrong with the car and it doesn't run 100%. I might be down to go. I'll know more at the time draws near.

I'm going! Already posted up on MFBA

What route are you taking? Maybe we could cruise out there together?

I'm planning on taking I-80 the whole way

we run a caravan of cars down i-80. Bunch of us leave from i-80 and harlem and continue to pick up cars along the way by them waiting on the side of the on-ramps until we pass them and then they catch up. Usually 15 or so cars by the time we're done.

The replacement head is supposed to be at my house by the end of the day and I plan on working all day to finish up everything else that needs completion.

If all goes well my bird will fly tomorrow night!
