Default Midwest Speed-events

fun night on friday but to much bs with people, i'm not a big fan of standing around 4hrs or more waiting for a race for a couple of bucks. next time we should have something a little different like bbq,track meet,beer,set up dyno day with a local tech sponsor,more beer,bikini car wash or a real cruise night with a planned route.

i agree as well. i had races set up with two cars, they didn't show. i ended up finally getting a race off at 1am. i think we should do the BBQ thing, that would be better. chitown street racing is going to ****. the proof was friday and saturday night.
