Im planning on only going down for friday, which is Drag day!!!
Soooo, leave before noon friday?

did you go last year? I was there around noon in 2006 and racing didnt start till like 4pm, but if practice runs start at noon, I wouldnt mind getting there sooner so my car has a chance to cool off a little from the long drive

You might want to come out Thursday Night as it always ends up being a HIGHLIGHT!

We will have a group lunch in Kenosha before the drag racing starts. So plan on being in the Kenosha area around 10-10:30. After a quick lunch, we will all caravan to GLD to be there at noon.

Do you guys stay in Kenosha Thursday night? Where are you planning on hanging out or having a couple beers at a bar somewhere?

I dont think the drag day is at GLD...

You do realize I'm the CHI2K8 Organizer, right? Drag Day is at GLD.

The Welcoming party is at Dave & Buster's in Addison, IL. I will have an official Hotel for CHI2K8 soon so that you can book your rooms.

Is anybody staying at hotels or camping nearby GLD or Kenosha Thursday or Friday night? Saturday night it would make sense to stay In IL tho.

i'm leaving on thursday after i pick up some parts from where i work to put on my car early friday. im close by caulvers on highway 100 an greenfeild.

I hope you have better luck than me with your parts. I just put a used upgraded ct 57 trim turbo on and my car started smoking like a chimney and ended up putting my stock ct back on. something was seriously wrong with the turbo. oh well. looks like I might not need the helmet I just bought, we'll see. fastest time so far was 14.17
what kinda parts are you putting on?

im staying at the country inn right by the brat stop on thursday night so I'll be right there incase I sleep late.

what are you up to friday after the races?
