Lake County Fun Run!!!!
June 6, 2021

Come one, come all to the inaugural edition of the Lake County Fun Run!

This will allow MG drivers and passengers to be social or to distance themselves, depending on how fast they want to drive. Speed limits along the route are mostly in the 40 – 50 mph range. We will explore some of the farmland and rural areas just off the beaten track in northeast Lake County.

This is not exactly a rally since it won’t be timed, but there will be things to watch for and write down, with points awarded for the correct answers. The winner will receive a recycled trophy!

The driver’s meeting will take place at 9:45 AM in front of Jimmy’s Charhouse, in Butterfield Square at the corner of Route 137 and Butterfield Road, Libertyville. There is a McDonald’s right there if you need the loo or a cup of coffee.

STAY TUNED!! This event is still not determined but still may be scheduled for Wednesday June 23rd –Saturday June 26th in Marshall, Michigan.

Hello Folks!
Save the date July 5th. Jim Compton & Bob Dorley will be hosting a drive out to Blackhawk Farms Raceway. We’ll be starting out at the Starbucks in South Elgin, where we started the Railway tours. The Drivers meeting will be at 8:15 with cars out by 8:30am.

Bob and I will finalize a route. But I’m expecting this to be between 1 hour 30 min and 2 hours to get to Blackhawk Farms. Look to the email blast for more info as I haven’t caught up with Dave Bralich for the key details. Dave was hoping we would get the opportunity to do a driving tour of the racetrack between the morning and afternoon sessions.

Kevin Carlson is planning on racing that day so let’s go cheer him to victory in his class. Food & drink will be available for purchase at the racetrack. Bring your sunscreen and binoculars.
