    Midwest Zone Rendezvous was a blast

    I don't know if Bob got any runs because the plug popped on his first run and they spent most of the afternoon diagnosing the problem (it wasn't noticed untill they took a valve cover off and not finding anything wrong). The incident with the bike caused no damage to the Viper but the bike and...

    Midwest Zone Rendezvous was a blast

    It's enthusiam like yours that will be the determining factory on whether events like this one are organized in the future. We (VCA) learned somethings in hosting these first ever events. Some things will be done a little differantly in the future but, I think we have a good formula for the...

    Rendevouz caravan from MI, see regional event section post.

    Plan on a bit of a tie up on I-80/94 with road construction. Sit it out as I don't know of a good way to by-pass it. Any Indiana members that can fill us in on an alternate? The group needs to take 1-80 west of 94 to exit at Harlem Ave (US 43)North. Remember that the Drag racing has been...

    Travel Details on Midwest Regional Rendezvous

    We are only a few days away from the sold-out event and I have a few details to pass along. I have been told that I-80/94 in Indiana is torn up west of I-65. This area is normally a pain so i can only imagine how bad it can be if it's torn up. I have looked at the alternate of taking the...

    Well we are a week away and it looks like a sell out. We hit our numbers (120 people and 70 cars so far). We can only accept last minute registrations up to Monday. The food needs to be finalized so that will be it. Thanks to all the Regional Presidents who helped to spread the word. It...

    IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago

    Mike, glad to hear that you had a good time. It was great to see you out at the Autocross on Saturday. I know it was your first time but I hope to see you at more driving events in the future. Autocrossing is a great sport. Maximum fun for your dollar.

    IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago

    Sounds to me like with the bases loaded you just took your ball and bat and you went home. I guess the game is over. Have a nice vacation.

    Midwest Regional Rendezvous only a few spots remain

    At this point I cannot make any promises but at least 2 practice runs for sure (they will be back to back runs). A lot will depend on how quickly people can negotiate the course and how quickly they stage etc. It looks like we can have two cars on the course at once (it is pretty long). The...

    IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago

    Ralph, there are a couple of things that need to be cleared up. 1) The problem with cars burning oil was never due to a problem with the pistons but in fact with the sleeves which were being pressed into the block. So you should realize that the pistons were NEVER an issue. Strike one! 2) I...

    IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago

    Chuck you were tired from driving the go-kart. Ooops, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it because I didn't let everyone use the go-kart. Actually I should have written a letter to the entire membership letting them know that a go kart would be at the autocross and we would hold a special raffle...

    IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago

    After all the greif, I don't know if we got any real good coverage. I stayed up to watch the extended sports coverage on NBC since they promised to cover the Tropicana 400 but I fell asleep (I was up until 1:00 am. cleaning up the car, bolting on side sills and street tires after the autocross...

    IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago

    That is why I always try to be diplomatic. Remember last year when the whole issue of forged vs cast pistons? How many failures have you heard about regarding pistons? Do you remember what I wrote? Now looking back at it 18 months later do you feel your assessment was correct. Did the Vipers...

    IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago

    I am pretty sure the club will be having elections next year as the bylaws require it every two years. Here is a perfect opportunity to show your enthusiasm for the club and share your knowledge on how the club is to be run. I feel every club member should have an opportunity to shape and guide...

    IL VCA chapter parade lap the NASCAR race in Chicago

    Ralph I am still really confused with the banter from you on this subject. I think it was made very clear what the club was up against with this event. here are the facts. I contacted the track in December to find out if we could purchase tickets for the NASCAR event because Dodge was returning...
