"Meadowdale Raceway was built in 1958 north of Carpentersville, Illinois, to attract development to the suburbs of Chicago. It is located at the intersection of Illinois Route 31 and Huntley Road."

I had my C6 on that corner about where that white tent is last year! I worked for a couple hours shuttling people to the parking lot for the effort. This is a show I started going to about 4 years ago, and now joined MIRPA! I trophied in 2016 with my '78 Corvette Pace.....

Because of our club presence a few years back, they decided to create "Corvette Corner" and each year there are more and more of us down there.....
