GLD on Labor Day-Monday-9/2

[SYCK SS]

Seemed like there was some interest for this. So I thought I would start a thread for it.

Labor Day Test & Tune @ Great Lakes Dragaway - September 2nd

From 9am - dusk


They are holding a big event the whole weekend before, so usually there is a good amount of prep left on the track earlier in the morning.

I plan on leaving the Schaumburg area around 8:00am to get there just as the gates open.

Who is in?


*SYCK SS -> with Jeep SRT8
*Bubbles (maybe)
*Gorgeous ss (maybe)
*Tonyo (maybe)
*SCOTCH MAN

Byron schedule has been bad this year. In September, there's Test & Tune on the 28th (Listed as Chicagoland Mustang Day, could be fun to go at them) and the 29th is also Test & Tune...

Agreed toasty, under new management... the new schedule has been off

Is Joliet a PITA and not on the radar? Never hear of anyone going there.

Their tech in is much more picky. And they require a fire jacket to. They will not flex from NHRA rules. Makes it difficult for most to run.

Fire jacket for a 12+ second car? Really?

Being an NHRA track, they follow every rule to the "T"... my camaro wouldn't even pass inspection :-/ but a jacket is expensive.

I have a bunch of buddies that visit the track frequently to watch though

I didn't think they cared about a jacket until you were more modded or any car with FI. I thought light bolt ons and OE cars were fine there

My buddy just went there last friday in his cam only jeep srt8 and they wouldnt let him race until he got a jacket. luckily someone let him borrow one there.

That's a bit excessive.

[SYCK SS]

Totally agreed
