Default Autocross this weekend

There's a lot of autocrosses this weekend. I had to update the calendar as things have shifted since I originally added them. Due to the amount - listing by location.

Maywood Park
Saturday - Windy City Miata Club
Sunday - Chicago VW Organization

Majestic Star Casino
Saturday - Indiana Northwest Region SCCA
Sunday - Indiana Northwest Region SCCA

Miller Park
Sunday - WAI Autox

Route 66 raceway
Saturday - Tri-State Sports Car Club
Sunday - Chicago Region SCCA

Not sure where I'm going...and it's all weather dependent. Thinking Maywood on Saturday and Majestic Star on Sunday.

So Far ... the weather looks com si com sa.
It doesn't look like any major rain storms coming.
I'm fine with cloudy and cool. If you go to MS,
I strongly encourage you to dress warm. It can
get pretty cold off the lake depending on
wind direction.

considering another attempt to make it down to Majestic Star. what time do you usually get done with events there? i recall at the last one people posted about getting 8 runs.

I'm hoping that the multiple autocrosses going on this weekend as well as iffy weather to weed out the paranoid (myself included) will result in fewer people, more runs, and finishing early.

INR typically do "fun runs" after the last event of the year which is this
Sunday's event. So expect more than 8 runs on Sunday at the Majestic!

On Saturday, INR is going to have a "picnic" in the casino after the event. I guess it's an all you can eat buffet. We are doing this to support the casino since they were nice enough to let us use the parking lot. There might be "fun runs" after that event as well.

yes, I too am part of Team Fair Weather Racing.

the RT 66 events should keep a lot of people out that way, so i'm hoping for a short day as well. hopefully i'll make it to majestic star on sunday.

just to be clear, Gary IN follows the same Central Daylight Time as Chicago?

Pat, get up to WAI this weekend. Probably the last weekend for me having the S2K out.

MSCC and FVSCC are co-hosting an event at miller park on 10/18. That event is usually a lower turnout but I probably won't be bringing the S2000 to that one.

But Maywood and Majestic star are so close!
Looks like it will have to be next year the-moss

I might autox after this weekend, but most likely not in the S. Maybe take the daily out (on all seasons).
