Tentative schedule for Maxus 07
#43
Like many others, if I'm going to drive 11 hours I want to be able to get on a real road course. I can drag and auto-x all the time where I live. Depending on what happens, I might have to think about coming to this Maxus.
#44
I'll stay all 3 days... but I will only be doing the show... if that. It's not like my car is anything special.
#48
Dates, are probably going to be June 22nd to the 26th. The 26th is going to be the day at the Autobahn, thats if the guy calls me back on the rates per car. If I don't get a call by 1pm CST, I'm going to give him a call back. I gave him a few days to respoind back but still no answer.
The day that I was planning on having the roadcourse that I couldn't get, 23rd, that we will probably going to the 1/4 at Byron, and Monday the 25th is the dyno day. Sorry for the changes, people wanted the roadcourse, I'm going to get it. Since this went from a 3day event to a 5day event, I had to fill in the other days. I hope you guys understand the changes.
New tentative schedule. 3/23
June 22nd, Friday - Arrival, Meet and Greet at the Hotel (Hampton Inn of Hoffman Estates, IL). Schedules and misc things will be given to attendees.
23rd, Saturday - Quarter Mile Racing at Byron
24th, Sunday - BBQ and Carshow at Busse Woods
25th, Monday - Dyno Day
26th, Tuesday - Roadcourse Racing at the Autobahn Joliet, IL
27th, Wenesday - Farewell see ya guys in 2008, wherever the next Maxus will be.
I hope no changes will be made to this schedule from here on out.

Sounds like a good plan!!
question tho... what's the time(s) on the dragstrip and the dyno day?
most of the drag racing here open to the public is like 5pm-11pm and such. will this be a sat evening thing, or all day?
Same thing for the dyno day.. how long will the dyno events last?
I know the track day will last all day- usually they go from 8am to about 5pm. add an hour on each side to unload/repack the car and such, so it's an all day deal.
just curious to the plans for the other events. Looks like great work! Good job!

Dyno Day will probably be during the day.

Same here will Friday and Sunday... but saturday we may do some chicago shopping and eating instead of the track. I wouldn't be racing... so 2 hours drive time to watch seems kinda silly to me.

Guess my chicago vacation this summer is canceled. See you guys next time you plan a track event.

To be honest, meeting you and talking car geek / engineering crap was one of the main reasons I wanted to attend...Don't wimp out...I just dropped $700+ on paint recently because I want my car to look good for Maxus.

I've been to huge car shows with 100+ maximas and 500+ Z cars and organized the Z Club's finest show cars and won best display at AutoRama.. big car shows are cool, but you can only talk to so many people and do so much. If I'm driving all that way, I want to do something I've never done or can't do here. i.e. take the car to a new race track and lay the smack down on the locals. that was one of my statements in the beginning. you plan a track event and I'll come. if no track event, I'm not going to drive all that way. as much as I enjoy talking about cars, I simply can't justify driving 2500 miles to shine my wheels and stand around in a parking lot.

Is there going to be shirts this year??? And did ever figure out a final price, or are we just paying for everything ourselves?
#79
We will be having shirts, don't know the exact price but they will be affordable. At the moment I'm doing a small fundraiser to help raise more money. I'm trying to minimize the expenses fro everyone.
