July 15-17 LvC Midwest Shootout

Mark it down on your calendars
First annual Midwest LvC Summer Shootout

The tentative plan:

I will be locating an area campground where I and anyone else who would like to spend the weekend camping may do so.

I will also locate an area Lodging Establishment who will give us a group rate. (I will need to know how many members will need lodging before I contact places of lodging).

Friday Meet at Campground and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

8:00 PM head to area dinning establishment (to be announced) for our nightly sustenance, and to plan for Friday Nights entertainment

Those wanting to attend Great Lakes Dragway’s Friday events

Saturday Morning attend a local dinning establishment (to be announced) for our morning shot of go juice and food!

:Beer Awesome. I'm in for Satruday, unfortunately I can't make the camping.

This should be a big hit.

We could also BBQ at the strip. There will be enough food/chips/drinks/and fun for all.

Let's make this happen !

It's happening, and members don't have to come for the whole weekend.
 
I'm in. I may not be camping over night, but I'll be there for one of the days just don't know which one yet. :V
 
Also as a note this is a LvC meet you are not required to race if you don't want too.

Racing is for those who want to put their cars on the line. All the fun :wave is for everyone! :Beer :invasion:

Oh and StraDog you better be there!! LOL :N
 
A good friend of mine who has Great Lakes Dragway in his back yard (and also 10 acres of land has said the we can use his land if we need it. That would mean camping if necessary.

He's marked it down on his calendar and planning on us to be around. My wife will be spending the weekend with his wife, as they are childhood friends.

So plans are increasing - I'm also looking into getting a few sites at Bong Recreational Area which is a state campground.

I need to know who would want to camp or will need over night lodging.
 
Hi,

I’m from Kenosha, about 10-15 min. away from Great Lakes Dragway. If I have nothing going on, I would like make it and meet few people. This would be my first meet.

Great! Well don't plan anything and put the meet down on your calendar! :Beer

This will be a great time for all! :W
 
Let's make a list for the meet to get a idea of who's going.

Rich, you want to start one up ? Sign in if your going to attend.

Just watch, tough guy ! LOL.

But for real, I will definently be at this one. Unless of course it's raining, because you can't have fun at the strip when it's raining.

How bout we just put some money down on who's getting down the track faster, Dave ? Just kidding, I prolly won't have anything major done by then, but who knows.

Someone want to start a "Sign up" Thread for the "First Official LVC Shootout" !?

:V

You'll have to give some odds to get bets on that one.


Im sure Jon will make it unless he's waxing his car that day. :D

Awesome stuff, Rich. Keep up the good work.
 
I'm just waiting for a reply from Great Lakes Dragway - I left a phone message yesterday and an e-mail today.

I will post them again tonight and call them again tomorrow if I don't hear anything.

Currently the cost to race a car at Great Lakes Dragway is $30 for the day.

It is $12 to spectate.

I am checking to see if they have a facility for us to BBQ. Otherwise we will do the BBQ at my friends place which is about 1/2 mile away.

I would like to know if any members will need lodging. I would like to make this a weekend event with more than just racing.

I am also checking into Bong Recreation Area to see if they have campsites available.
 
I just got done talking with Bong State Receration Area as I am looking for a place to camp.

http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/parks/specific/bong/index.html

Prices are $10/day non-electric and $15/day electric

I could get a group site for 1 - 20 people $40 per day unlimited tents
or 21 - 50 people per day $60 per day. That is not per person but for the site per day. These sites are non-electric.

So if anyone is interested in camping let me know. The state of Wisconsin does not allow anyone to reserve campsites. They are first come first serve and must be reserved through Reserve America link below.

I'm considering making the drive over from Nebraska. Any idea on how many people are planning on coming?

Thomas
