    A group of car enthusiasts is going to meet at a local sports bar to watch the GP race and cheer on our favorite cars/drivers. In addition, we will be having large plates of loaded nachos, fried cheese and other completely unhealthy food. If anyone would like to join us, please do. We will be at Shark City, 2240 Bloomingdale Rd in Glendale Heights. If it is a nice day, drive your favorite car, I am!

    The race starts at 1pm, but I will arrive earlier to save a section!

    If you think you will join us, post here so I can have an idea of how large of a corner I need to reserve.

    Thank you John.
    I talked to the owner and he seemed ok with my saving spaces up front for some spiffy cars. I am planning to head there early and save a few blocks of spaces the best I can.

    All,
    Shark City is located in a strip mall at the corner of Army Trail Rd and Bloomingdale Rd. Jewel Osco is at that corner which is the south part of the strip mall. Shark City is at the far north section of the strip mall.

    2240 Bloomingdale Rd
    Glendale Heights, IL
    630.893.9346 | 630.881.0101

    The Bears game is Monday night so no worries about both being aired at the same time!

    Looking forward to the 18th!!

    Best,
    Haley

    Hello,


    Lake Forest Sports Cars is hinting of a F1 viewing party @ their dealership for this race on their facebook profile. Short notice and nothing confirmed, but their events are very well done.


    IMHO

    Our scheduled viewing is a sure thing and we will be free to do what we want. This is not sponsored by any organization or anyone. It is simply a gathering to view the race.

    Looks like we will have a nice group of people AND the weather looks to be fine for driving the toys. :D:D

    We are going back there today. They have been featured on "Burger Paradise. The place has an F1 slant. They are right across from the used tire joint. Don't know where you can park more than 3 cars at the place.

    Went to see Tuba Skinny at some place....Had to check to see if the car was up on blocks with the tires gone a couple of times. The bartendar was mixing drinks like it was chemistry class....pretty good stuff too. The place was next to an area like a Gypsy camp. Band was great. Going to try an get them booked up our way and North next year. That coronet player is fantastic. She told me her Dad is still playing in New York and her Grandfather does the area stuff North of there. Went to Franklins also. Words can't describe how good the food is....Race. What race...?

    Went back to the track area today. Found our parking lot for the race, and we ate at
    Bubbas. Longhorn and Kangaroo. (Sort of tastes like something between bald eagle and horned owl you now.)

    May be on CNN. They interviewed us at Bubbas in the "patio area". Can see the roads around the track getting crowded tomorrow as more fans come in for the weekend. Won't head out there until Friday now. Too cool at night for walking around.

    All the best,

    Norbert
