Okay guys, I just talked to the Mayor of Chicago Hts. today and he indicated the car show and burnout contest has been rescheduled for Saturday, July 3rd this year!

They will have the car show and burnout contest and then around 9:00 pm will be the annual fourth of July fireworks show. I wanted to give everyone as much notice as possible as they switched this from Labor day weekend.

This will be a great time as they normally get about 300 cars to show up for the car show and more that run down the 1/8 mile they set up. If you want to see what kind of show it is just go on Youtube and put in Chicago Heights Burnout contest and you will see alot of different cars running. I am hoping to enter 1 Bad Merc in the burnout contest this year and give a good showing for the Marauders.

If you need confirmation on how many cars come and how nice/nasty some of these cars are just ask Justbob, Dom and the Da Dark Jedi.

I will be putting together a list/directions as we get closer to this event and if we get enough cars I am sure I can get us a special parking space for our Marauders.

I hope to see alot of Marauders there this year.
 
No problem with signing up. I believe their is a $25 fee (goes towards the trophy's), must have a valid insurance card, valid drivers license and they give you a small handout. They take registrations the day of the event -last year around 12 noon time.
 
They usually host two sessions of runs/burnouts from 3-5pm and then they did a second session from 6-8pm. I believe it's as many runs as you can get in. I saw people do 3-4 runs in one of the sessions last year.
 
I might need donor rims from someone. I'll have 2 sets of tires to roast by then, but only one set of rims to take on and off for the contest.

Any takers please fill me in!

I will get my header dumpers installed too. I don't care if I go less than broke. I didn't know I could actually win. I would almost bet money I'll have this in the bag.
 
Are we meeting at McDonalds like last year? A 10 car convoy down Halsted ST.:banana2: That's great Dom that you are going to enter the burn out contest. I'm going to hang with the "Babe magnet" when he shows :D. 1 Bad Merc, Dom and JB lighting it up! :eek: What colors are you guys using?
 
People were on the cell telling other folks "Man, get in your car and just come"! I think this will be Bigger that last year. Forgot to mention this is also a family event so bring the kids. This isn't a car show but an event.
 
I might need someone to video tape this for me. It's worth a post here and just something to keep around too.

Zack should come out to this one! Abdul too, but let's keep him behind the camera. ;)
 
I would love to go check this out but I have to work that day. Besides that I have a Vic with a open 2.73 rear, whats a burnout :D
 
Far freaking out....I am gonna be just up the road later that day getting married of all things(to the lovely leggy lady in my signature thingy).

hmmmm.... arriving late at your wedding smelling like bleach, burnt rubber and covered in the debris of disintegrated tires... thinking this sounds like a darwin awards possibility
