That micro show is mere blocks from my house. I still doubt I will care enough to go, unless any of you guys are going to be there. I just really can't stand car shows.

Funny,

I grew up in Crystal Lake, and used to ride mountain bikes at Meadowdale before they turned it into a park. It blew our minds when we figured out that it used to be a road racing course. I'd love to attend, but won't be up there until next month. (heading to the SCCA Runoffs)

I used to go to Meadowdale when it was an operating track. Very cool watching as a kid.

Meadowdale looks like it was a fun track. Too bad it went to the wayside.

Last time I was by there the front gate and the silo was still there. I hopped the fence and the bridge was there also. It was very cool.

We were out there once on our bikes and came across a section of the old track just before a washed out bridge. On the pavement there was script that said "PRAY". I guess this was the entrance to the old Monza turn. (since removed)

pretty cool place, still is
