With the unfortunant event in regards to getting the Autobahn, I am editing the first post to keep you guys informed of whats going on. So far here is the pending schedule for this years Maxus in Chicago. I know I am late keeping you guys updated on this years Maxus, but trying to juggle, work, Maxus, working on the 240, and looking for a new job, is making it harder schedule myself on these priorities.
June 20th - Meet and Greet at the Hotel
June 21st - AutoX in a parking lot unfortunantly or install day
June 22nd - BBQ and carshow in Busse Woods
Hmmmmm seems i ened to get going with these cars then.

Also, for everyone's information, I have seen posts for track time at the Autobahn. The costs have been $250 to $280 to run the track, so $200, while not dirt cheap is clearly a bargain for this facility.
i am down and I will try to get a few people down to go. Let me know what i need to do to pass tech...my max is in need of repair so i'll just fix it to tech specs.
ALL cars are welcome to come to the track as long as they can pass tech.
so tell anyone who is willing to come to do so. The more people we have for the track the less we have to worry about paying in the long run.

I am on the fence for Thur, Fri, and Sat. I am definite for Sunday. It all depends on work. With Hot Rod Power Tour in Madison the week prior to Maxus, I can't take too much time off.
i just found out that i will be going to sweden/finland the week before, i need to iron out some things so i can be able to make you guys look silly on the race track.
Hmm, I'm gonna start setting money aside. 5 speed swap will be done in late spring early summer...I hope I have it ready with enough time to break it in by track daY

Would anybody be interested in being part of a 'detail workshop' on Saturday? Not for full details of anyone's car, but rather to learn tips and tricks about exterior/interior detailing.
(cough, cough...Hector?....cough)
I can bring a bunch of stuff (products, polishers, pads etc.) Maybe there would be an area that can be used along side the 'install day' stuff?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm I could talk something out with my work.
Woodfield HUMMER/Chevrolet has a detail shop, so maybe I can work out some sort of deal with them for just the facility?
That would be a great idea.....would your dealership mind a bunch of 'imports' invading their lot?
I was just thinking of that...
Not sure if they'd be willing to do it for "free," and considering the liability bull****.
It'd either be at Chevrolet after 1 in the technicians area...(liability for damaged customer cars/stolen items)...you could get at least 6-10 cars in there depending on how many stalls are already taken, and there is room for another couple cars in the open. ONE wash area
Hummer would probably be the same time, or later. Right now they are in the process of building a body shop where the detail shop used to be at Hummer, and the little area that was used for painting will be converted into a detail shop...approximately enough room for 4 cars MAX <--- "MAX"...
...BUT, Saturday's=busiest day of the week for car dealerships, so once again, I'm not sure how that would work out, or if it even would.

The drive isn't that bad for me compared to Texas, it would be about 16 hours non stop. Id like to go but im going to Europe in late May and won't be back home until the middle of June. I haven't been there to see my family since I was 2, so it's about time I visit again.
I might go if I could get more time off from work.
Also doesn't the Autobahn have strict rules for passing tech? I've heard they can be tough on certain things. Id hate to have someone drive all the way and get kicked out by the tech inspection.

Are you thinking about the drag strip in Joliett? I know the tech there is very tough and thorough.
I would think the Autobahn is not super strict, especially for the days when non-members are running the track. That's generally considered 'driver training' not 'racing'.

Too bad you won't be able to make it this year.
An example I read somewhere is that Autobahn doesn't like battery relocations unless it's in a approved racing battery box that's vented, which they always should be. But I've seen some people on the .org running less than stellar battery relocations that might not pass tech at Autobahn. Stuff like that and some people may not pass.
Would be a good idea to contact the track and get a copy of the tech inspection so people know in advance.
Also don't count me out yet. I might be able to get another week off to make it out there. Im more worried about getting my car ready in time as im at home all this week after surgery. Sucks cause I haven't been able to wrench since December from the health problems I've had.

Xander is in the process of getting the tech info. He will post it as soon as he gets it....
