Social Events
Meet & Greet Time
Sometimes when the cars need a rest, or we just need a respite from driving them, we like to do dinner with friends, a yard party, an outting in the park, an Amtrak road trip, camping for a weekend, or other pleasantries with our friends. If you don't find something you like here, we're always open to suggestions for more fun.

Joanne and I are inviting you to meet our recently acquired 1950 MG TD at an "open garage" (open house) on Saturday, June 28th at our home in Orland Park, IL. Even though we are very excited, we realize we don't know very much about the car and we need a lot of help, ideas and opinions.
Please RSVP so we can plan for LUNCH.
Thanks, -- Leigh & Joanne Clark - leighhclark@hotmail.com

DEMO NIGHT at Sycamore Speedway
August 22, 2008 - 7:00 pm
50W086 Il Route 64, Maple Park, IL -- (815) 895-5454 -- (click for map)
We have been invited to join the ISOA (aka “Triumph Club”) at their annual excursion to the amateur stock car races and demolition derby at Sycamore Speedway, near Sycamore IL, on August 22. No, this is not a driving event – we are attending as spectators only. If you grew up in Chicago in the ‘50s or ‘60s you probably went at least once to a similar event at Santa Fe Speedway or, if you’re really old, at Soldier Field, and you probably remember the mirth and hilarity of watching a demolition derby. “Bring back those stirring days of yesteryear” as the announcer used to say (do you remember where?) and come out for a guaranteed laugh and good time.
We will meet at the track just outside the main gate at 7 PM (unless it is raining). This track is on IL Rt 64 (North Ave) just east of Sycamore, IL. - (click for map)
