Looking forward to those photos! If I still lived in Illinois I would have been there!

Here in Tucson we have the SIR track, which is IHRA. They do a couple nice nostalgia events each year, such as a Fuel Altered event... but it will never be like the good old days! {:-) The cars are far fewer in number... are booked in and don't compete "enthusiastically". :-( It's more exhibition than racing.

At least the large number of historic cars on display is rewarding. I'm jealous of the Chicago event goers.
