I will be leaving Texas on Sept 29 heading back home. Depending on weather, I just might make it back for the race... It would be cool to see just a bunch of bikes at the Grove...

Unfortunately, Old Ma nature caused the postponement of this event...We held out hope and hung in there until noon but, it became obvious there was no way we could get this event in. Plans are to re-schedule for a date in the Spring. The owners of the track are still very positive about having an AMA show at the Grove and sometime over the next few weeks we'll set a date and let everyone know when. In the meantime, on Behalf of the Chicago Norton Owners Club, the AMA and myself a BIG thank you to Great lakes Dragaway and the hearty souls who came & braved the lousy weather and hung in with us only to be disappointed...We look forward to seeing you and many others in the Spring for the re-schedule of this event! The email address for info & questions will remain active and will be checked regularly so send your questions & comments. I will reply!
