Somewhat nowhere near on topic--Hey Chicagoan's

This could be dangerous.

Thanks for the info!

Pffffft. Two courses and neither is an oval.
This is pretty cool. I'm just a stone's throw from Buffalo Grove, I'll have to check this out. No mention of prices that I can find on the website, though I see I can get a nice thong for my sweetie for $12.99, but the bumper stickers are a little pricey at $7.99.

Actually a little surprised to hear of it here, I must have missed any ads they ran in the local paper.

Lemming51, they were doing ads on the Score a couple of months ago.

That would explain why I missed it. Love sports on the radio, but can't stand sports talk shows.

As one member has already pointed out to me, there is going to have to be a TF Challenge match during the Chicagoland IRL weekend next year.

I can probably get to Indy as fast as to Buffalo Grove.

Scouting Report....was up there this afternoon

Everyone of these karts are color schemed like Dan Wheldon's car, right now to the Jim Beam Sponsorship...Funny I should mention Dan Wheldon there are two huge murals in the lobby, one of Wheldon in the pits at Indy looking down to turn 1, the second in the upper mezzanine is a wall sized image of his accident at Indy...

Oh and yeah there's a Dan Wheldon Dallara in the lobby as well..


Nothing, CART, Nothing NASCAR. It's all IRL...

The whole facility is awesome, and they are going to start leagues!!!!!

Sounds like Dan is involved financially with the place?

At one time or another Mr. Wheldon has held track records at all the indoor tracks in Indy (Stefan's, FASTIMES, Racers). I think he usually accomplished this on his first few attempts at each track! He definitely has the karts figured out.

I have a video tape at home of some early to mid 1990's karting from Europe, there is a very yound Daniel Wheldon as well as a very young Jenson Button on these tapes. apparently the two of them were both phenom's in karting.

I asked one of the workers what the obsession with Wheldon was, obviously trying to pry to see if he was involved, but the guy didn't know.

[ovals rule]

wonder why they did not post any photos on their website?
