    For those of you brave souls who feel compelled to test your Launch Control, there is a "drag at a private airport event" coming to Chicago in May. Judging by past participants, it's more for the muscle/tuner car crowd, but a 575M ran a 141 as well. Figure I'd throw it out as a general car guy FYI. My father-in-law is taking his 1st gen ZR1, so I'll be there to watch...and cringe possibly.

    Tried but said, sold out. Then I tried just one day (Sunday) and it took it. So it looks like I am in.

    This seems interesting for the area. I might have to get on board.

    Not sure if this was a typo or not but the event is on June 1st and 2nd. Looked like May was the month listed in the title!

    My bad, you are correct. It's JUNE 1st and 2nd, not May. I blame the wine (I always blame the wine.)
