    Yup, been there a few times meself, with the old Biker buds....Been along time though. I used to use a Corvette mechanic there on Rand Road about a Mile or so North, on the West side of the street.

    You think that place is scary....You should have checked out Ogden Av. in Lyons back in the 1980's....Those places were owned by the "outfit", as they call it....Now THAT was scary! They are all gone now.

    Hey, have you ever checked out Diamonds? Right at the corner of North Av. & Powis Rd. It is right across the street from the DuPage Airport. And a few miles West of Fox Valley Motorcars/Lamborghini Chicago. I haven't been to one of those places since the mid '90's. But that place looks like it may have some decent looking ladies. Anyone up for a Field Trip? Check out some Exotic Cars at Lambo./Fox Valley, have some Dinner next door, then check out Diamonds? ....:)

    Speed TV, which depends on your cable set up where it is. In my place it is #38, but that varies.

    I would think the race starts at midnight or 1am Sunday morning. Sounds like a case for the VCR for me.

    Tonight is probably qualifying. I'd guess around 11pm.

    You probably should check out the Player's pub. All F1 and I bet they show the race while you're surrounded by local ladies.

    No, it is about 3000 N. on Ashland. I'm sure Jack can give you a more precise address. Basically a 10 min. cab ride from downtown. Might be worth your time.

    The owner of Players, Mark Jurczyk, races with my team in SCCA. He's seriously quick, and leads our championship series. You'll no doubt see some of his race momentos there. He also drives a sinister black Gallardo on the street. Great guy.

    The Race is also being re-braodcast at 12:30PM on Sunday on Speed TV. The Afternoon is Much better, IMO....:)

    Hey, is that the place with the "Hot Polish Women?"....;)

    I was watching practice for a little while today. Our "favs" were doing well....:)

    That would be the place. And if you know who to talk to, there's more than food on the menu.
