FYI Bolingbrook to Glendale Heights is only a 30 minute drive.

Also nice meeting the new faces :tiphat:

Gotcha. I doubt I will be able to go to both, but I will check to see if feasible.

I have never been to either of these events. Can you summarize what both events entail.

Thanks.

supercar saturday is an awesome experience. Think of it as attending a giant, mature crowd only, car meet where the Z is the cheapest car. Common attendees include Aventador, Ferrari 599, Bugatti, a dozens of other super cars. Then there is a long list of nice sports cars like vettes, Porsches, Vipers, GTR, M3, etc.

Search "Supercar Saturday Chicago" on google images to see what I mean. or go to their webiste: Supercar Saturdays

UTI torque meet also looks to be fun, I have never been but they just had one in Orlando and 450 cars showed up.Glendale Heights, Illinois (Chicago) | Torque Meet Tour – A 5-City FREE Automotive Event Series

Not really, I bought mine on-line a couple years ago, but don't remember which vendor. (safe racer or SummitRacing maybe). However, the club does have a number or loaner helmets available. So if you don't manage to get your own helmet before Sunday, you can still participate using one of the loaner ones.

Try a motorcycle shop.

Only problem with a motorcycle shop is that they might not have Snell SA approved helmets, only Snell M. SA is the standard for auto racing, M for motorcycles.

The M helmet is OK for AutoX, but if you want to do trackday as well at some point, you'll need an SA approved helmet. Most track day organizers won't allow the use of M helmets, SA helmets only.

and aren't they bringing in a new helmet where the old version will not be allowed in 2 years?

Couldnt tell. I was going the other way and had my music turned up.

ZMan8 04-19-2013 05:44 PM

hmm, not sure really. just in our group we have 3 red 370Z + 1 red roadster 370z

b15 04-19-2013 06:52 PM

It was a coupe for sure. Only thing I could tell were the insanely yellow headlights. To be honest, I thought it was a civic at first...
