Hey man, Sounds like a good idea although i wont be able to make it. I have to work as much as i can during Spring break to assure myself that i get my SHO before Mid-End of May. Hope to meet your group down there from Chicago at Indy.

Sounds like fun, but I probably won't have my SHO out by then.

There is an Central Illinois Auto Show going on the first week of April.
If there was a caravan point near the of Wisconsin and Illinois state line, would you guys join in.
Its a drive but it would be fun. I live in Wauconda IL, which is 20 miles south of the Wisconsin state line. I would drive up to meet you guys and lead you down.
Its just a thought at this point, but input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Meadowdale Raceway Tour - Sat, March 12th
Gentlemen, Here is some info on an upcoming meet I organized. Perhaps this will be of some interest to the local (IL, IA, IN, MI, WI) guys that have an interest in racing. We will have a professional driver there on hand that will give us the ins and outs of the track also! If someone would be so inclined as to CC this to SHO Times it would be much appreciated. Questions can be directed to [email protected].
When: March 12th, 9:30 AM
Where: Meeting at the ******* parking lot at woodfield mall (Schaumburg, IL).
Who: Everyone
What: We will be touring the old Meadowdale Raceway. For more information take a look below.
General Itinerary:
10:30 - 11:00 - Meet & Greet/ Wait for stragglers
11:00 - We'll be driving to the former site of Meadowdale Raceway (Aprx 30 min drive/ Everyone will be supplied with a map)
11:45 - 12:00 - Chat and wait for the stragglers at the parking lot of the raceway
12:00 - Tour will start
3:00 - 3:30ish - Leave to get lunch or BBQ on grounds
For those that don't know, Meadowdale raceway was an aggressive road course with a fair amount of elavation change (considering our area). The track was only in operation for about 11 years from the early 50's to the early 60's. It was plagued by many problems from poor asphalt to lack of support by organized racing groups. Nonetheless, many of the greats raced on this track and better yet, the track is still there (abandoned) as are the grandstands (frame), catwalk, Silo, etc.
Tom Ochall's father raced this track and will be with us to answer any questions and to throw out comments as he pleases. A friend of mine and I walked a 10th of the track on a cold day and were amazed at how well some of the track has been preserved. It's going to be an interesting day and we'll be sure to close it up with wings and beer just in case the track isn't interesting enough.
A couple notes:
The track is located on 31 in Carpentersville and is now a forest preserve. It's hard to see but it's called Raceway Woods. In case you get split from the herd on the way there, your map will have some details on it.
You will be hiking about 3 miles. This really isn't a lot of ground to cover but bring a bottle of water with just in case.

In the following picture you can see a recent aerial photo still showing the track. The red arrow is pointing to 31.
Hope to see you guys there!
