Like many others, if I'm going to drive 11 hours I want to be able to get on a real road course. I can drag and auto-x all the time where I live. Depending on what happens, I might have to think about coming to this Maxus.

I'll stay all 3 days... but I will only be doing the show... if that. It's not like my car is anything special.

Dates, are probably going to be June 22nd to the 26th. The 26th is going to be the day at the Autobahn, thats if the guy calls me back on the rates per car. If I don't get a call by 1pm CST, I'm going to give him a call back. I gave him a few days to respoind back but still no answer.
The day that I was planning on having the roadcourse that I couldn't get, 23rd, that we will probably going to the 1/4 at Byron, and Monday the 25th is the dyno day. Sorry for the changes, people wanted the roadcourse, I'm going to get it. Since this went from a 3day event to a 5day event, I had to fill in the other days. I hope you guys understand the changes.
New tentative schedule. 3/23
June 22nd, Friday - Arrival, Meet and Greet at the Hotel (Hampton Inn of Hoffman Estates, IL). Schedules and misc things will be given to attendees.
23rd, Saturday - Quarter Mile Racing at Byron
24th, Sunday - BBQ and Carshow at Busse Woods
25th, Monday - Dyno Day
26th, Tuesday - Roadcourse Racing at the Autobahn Joliet, IL
27th, Wenesday - Farewell see ya guys in 2008, wherever the next Maxus will be.
I hope no changes will be made to this schedule from here on out.
Xander

Sounds like a good plan!!
question tho... what's the time(s) on the dragstrip and the dyno day?
most of the drag racing here open to the public is like 5pm-11pm and such. will this be a sat evening thing, or all day?
Same thing for the dyno day.. how long will the dyno events last?
I know the track day will last all day- usually they go from 8am to about 5pm. add an hour on each side to unload/repack the car and such, so it's an all day deal.
just curious to the plans for the other events. Looks like great work! Good job!  |

The dragracing, is going to be from 10am to till sunset. Which is around 7ish or whenever we all get tired. On that same day there is another event, Jr drags, but shouldn't really affect wait time. I'll call them after opening day see if we could get our own staging lane(s).
Dyno Day will probably be during the day. |

No it's not. it's more per day than Autobahn's full course- especially on a weekend.
I rented TWS for Maxus '05 and went about $4000 in the red on the event. where were you? |

Not here, I moved in 04 and just moved back. I was driving an S13 at the time. I just bought the Max about 3 weeks ago. Just now started working on her.....When's the next time you'll be at TWS? |

Lots of talk but no one actually put up. so it got canceled due to lack of follow through.
