Hey guys there is camping/racing in STL this weekend coming up if anyone is interested.
We all gather on Friday night (or Sat morning, whenever you can make it). That is like a Party night.
Saturday everyone starts practicing and the heats get run also.
Sunday are the Mains!

It's about a 4 1/2 to 5hr trip from Chicagoland to the track/camp site (not bad at all for a whole weekend)
And get this it's only $10 a person all inclusive. That is your camp fee, race fee, everything. That's $3.33 a day!
Firewood provided! Bring a tent or sleep in your car. Pit tables are already setup and ready. Electricity is readily available, enough outlets for everyone.
Bring your own food/drinks and camping supplies. I usually bring a light incase you want to tweak at night.

If you've never been to a CampMaxx before it's AWESOME!
YOU CAMP 30FT FROM A NICE BIG TRACK!

There is water, bathroom, everything. Regretfully, I won't be able to make this one. I wish but I just can't swing it.

I will for sure be hitting up the first one next season, you can bet on that! I've been there 4 times and it's soooo much fun each time.

Let me know if anyone has questions on details or anything. All the guys down there are cool and down to earth so even if you don't know them there is definitely nothing to worry about. You'll have fun I guarrantee!

They race anything that has at least 2 cars to make a class. Usually the bigger classes are UMT, SMT, and 1/8 buggy. They will also do electric and 1/10 gas truck, and even mix them if needed.

no one? 50 people show up to Berwyn and not one person wants to go to a place 40 times funner? If I could go I would. I'm just broke. If someone wants to pay for me I'll ride down (if that's the only thing holding you back) I'm just simply broke and can't swing it (meaning beer, food, gas, race fee)

I can't do it either. Money is too tight with the holidays comming up. I'm all over the first one of next season though!

i saw a video of some guys lighting fireworks off of their cars and stuff was that them. those guys are pretty wierd i must say. that fly with the stick up its butt lol its funny just saying that, that was wierd. and wtf was that thing in the last picture

SixVi6-Camaro · (#6 (**permalink**))

Yeah it can get silly but its all in good fun. Think about this.. Imagine running Rc's until 2am with Music cranked, fire pits around, ohh and drinkin fun. There are no neighbors, no cops, heck pretty much just corn fields, forest, and fields.

man that looks like a fun time, I was just up at Devils lake, can't swing another trip so soon, my wife would hide my tires er something, maybe even stop supporting my habbit, and with Christmas so soon, I can't risk it, but next year I AM IN. I tried to look at the page with the pix, but none popped up.

Tex · (#11 (**permalink**))

oh and to clear it up, I had nothing to do with the horse fly and the stick...lol

It's a great time down there. I am definitely going down for the first one of the year next spring. I will post up with plenty of time for anyone to plan it next year (around spring should be the next one).
We should try and get 10-20 people down there, it would be just killer then.

if you go to www.showmerc.com you can research campmaxx and find a bunch of pics and videos of it.

Tex · (#14 (**permalink**))

you little smack talker.....

Yeah the first one next year is going to be off the chain...I hope a bunch of CHI people can make it. Like 15-20 maybe.

I will drive if you buy half of the gas Tommy! naw we will play it by ear when the time comes. heck, four of us could prolly ride with Tune if we fork the cash for the u-haul trailer
