The Hong Norrth Supra had fun this past weekend at the AMP WRL race… now it's crunch time for Joliet!  2.5 weeks before she's loaded for the drive.

We'll bring some local Atlanta brew to trade! And maybe some Southern 'shine.

OK, I will ping the two guys I mentioned.

FYI, the Spaceballs Minivan will be having Tarrytown Rusty Brown Ale on tap.  It is the beer in honor of the our van which caused the shuttering of the GM plant in Tarrytown, NY forever...they were to ashamed to go on.  Feel free to come by for a Tipple Friday night.

The Hong Norrth gang is pretty darn excited for this one. Leaving the MX-3s at home and bringing the Supra. New track for us and first time in the Midwest. 24 Hour races are just too much fun. As a bonus I plan to hit Portillos and Lou Malnattis as much as possible when near Chicago. Probably wont get a chance to sneak up to Wisconsin for a load of Spotted Cow.

Talk nice to "the shaolin" or Wild Bill and you might convince them to bring some in exchange for something unique from your neck of the woods.

Heywood is usually good for some, too.

This is true, however it usually ends up in your trunk.  I will try to smuggle some extra down tho.

Excellent!!! A case or 2 would be most appreciated I'd offer beer from Georgia but it is all crap. What part of Cheeseland are you from? I'm from Hayward and went to to school in Madison.

Janesville, its about 35 miles southeast of Madison.  Look out for a yellow E36 with a cheese head on top, and just ask for Eric.

I withdrew our app because none of my teammates wanted to make the drive to Chicago for a minivan racer.   They all wanted the firebird.  I am now reinspired.

Heck, there's CONDOS!  The price may a bit steep as you have to be a member of the country club...and that is no Costco membership

Thank you.  I guess I could purchase a condo with a garage for the weekend and flip it afterwards.
