This is from another list, sounds like a interesting event.  Also, take a 
look at the website  www.meadowdaleraceway.homestead.com

I'm in trouble.  I am drawing a blank on finding a club that can provide a 
vintage roadster, camera, and a few bodies to set up what will be a 
tremendously popular attraction at the Meadowdale Raceway Reunion & Festival 
September 13-14 at the old track in Carpentersville, IL.  See 
www.meadowdaleraceway.homestead.com.

To simplify the project, we will  just take pictures with a digital camera, 
then take the files home and post them on the Meadowdale website.  People 
can then pick them off the Internet and do with them what they will.  If you 
wish to request a donation for this service, that is fine.  If people want 
to use their own cameras to take the picture, we would want that to be free.

Getting a suitable car has been a problem for some.  If you wish to use my 
shiny red Alfa Spider, you can.  But it is in Ottawa, IL, 78 miles away 
(roughly I-80 and I-39) and will need to be trailered to Meadowdale and 
back.  It's a little wrecked on the driver's side, but the other side looks 
great.  With some numbers and headlight tape, it will stand in fine for a 
Meadowdale era racer.  Its future includes a full restoration, so a tennis 
shoe scuff, ice cream drip, or spilled Coke will be no disaster.

You could actually use the car for two photo sites- the right side for hero 
driver pix, the left side for several crew members trying to straighten out 
the dummy driver's latest race damage. But that's strictly optional.

Of course, if you have an available pre-'70 race car you could bring, that 
would make things a lot simpler.

TIA.
