    next show is the 2nd annual meadowdale motorsports and memoriers show sat sept 18, raindate the 19. reg open from 8:30 am to 10 show open from 10 am to 3pm this show is all about the old medowdale sppedway and car show. show is on rte 31 in carpenterville, ILL info for show is www.mirpa.org

    i am not active with these shows, just thought i would toss this info out for anyone that wants to show up. the racing show sounds like it could be neat about meeting old drivers, crew and seeing cars that use to run there though. the first one is just down the street from me about a 1/2 mile or so meybe.

    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
