Default Labor Day @ Great Lakes Dragaway !

I will be going up there with a few buddies for Labor Day next monday. It's open to test & tune. I talked to a couple members on the board that seem interested too. If anyone wants to I will be cruising over to a friends house in Des Plaines & leaving from there. So if anyone wants to cruise with us your more than welcome. Two of us will have Go Pro cameras mounted on our cars too & looking to make a cool video too.

I just called in & listened to the recording. No prices are listed just yet that I could find on the website & they didn't say anything on the recording just yet. Normally the track opens up around 5 during the weekdays though so I'll probably try to call up later if I can remember! We should all try & meet up though at least while we are at the track. I know I'm going to be getting there almost just as the gates open so if you see a red 02 Z28, a red convertible Cobra & a white M3 that will be us. Come on by & we can get everyone together. Going to be putting together a video most likely too with some Go Pro's & another camera will be snapping photos.

I should be showing up a little after 11. I will be meeting up with one guy at the BP gas station on the corner of Grand Ave and RT45 at 10:30. And then head north and meet up with one more guy at a restaurant called 45 North.

I'll also be there with Fly_boy_1 and a couple of other guys. If you see a Black Ta, A Maroon Z28, A Sonic Blue Cobra, a Black Saleen and a Black SRT8 Charger roll in, stop by and say hi. We should be there latest by noon. It'll be nice to setup a couple of friendly runs amongst our Tech brethren.....

Sounds good man! I'll most likely see ya there. I'm pretty excited that we actually might have a pretty good turnout. Maybe we could call in & see if we could get a LS1Tech Member discount hahaha

Pat I have a extra helmet I can bring for you if you want. I am not sure if they rent them or not. Sounds like there is a lot of people coming up!
