Good HP weather!

137 Cars took to the track this past weekend!

Thanks to Chicagoland Sportscar Club, Midwestern Council, and everyone who volunteered their time for a great time.

The weather was ideal for new track records and personal best times across the paddock. The only other thing that was talked about more than the speed that everyone saw this weekend was the spread that Chicagoland provided Saturday night for competitors and volunteers.

If this has been on your list but you haven't been able to make it happen then pencil in October 28-29 2017 for TLR #47!
