Default Speed Inc. Open House

We would like to show our appreciation for everyones support & we are glad to announce the date for another SPEED INC OPEN HOUSE.

The turn out last year was more then we ever expected. We where so happy to see so many new faces and it seemed everyone had a great time. The amount of cars that loaded the street from one end to the other was awesome to see. We did have a small problem with police and the fact that there is only the south side of the street to park on.....

well here is the good news..........

Saturday March 12th is the date we are currently scheduling the open house for. We will have food,music,specials,etc just as last year. The big thing we are working with is the Village of Schaumburg to get the street blocked off. This would give us the entire street including both N & S sides to have a car show as well and maybe a little fun without getting harrassed The show will not be judged,but more so for others to hang out and look over everyones rides and talk about mods and so on.

hows this sound?

We look forward to seeing everyone soon

We plan to have discounts on everything in stock or not.

There will be no dyno. There just would not be enough time or space with the amount of people we plan to see. We plan to have the band again this year and position them on the dyno as last year.

Vette Fest...well there always seems to be something conflicting. We are just going to roll with it still. The show goes on for 2 days deep into the night,so I don't think it will affect us much.

We look forward to seing everyone
