Any places I should check out for slots. Thanks!

But I hear the ribs, italian beef sandwiches, and deep dish pizza are pretty righteous. Never look around on an empty stomach!! :) nd

I guess no slotters in Chicago?... I'm from CT, but I found some listed below from Illinois. Probably take some mapquesting to rule out if any are too far or within striking distance. Good luck. nd

These guys seem like a fun group. Look at all the tracks they race on. Not sure any of these are HT members?? One is listed in this forum recently (the Oconomomo one):

Hiya Guys, there are LOTS of slotters going to Chicago and lots there. There will be a large race at ChicagoLand raceway where there will be races for SCX, BRM, Fly, Slot It, and others! Check out Slot Car Illustrated to see the announcements of the races.

I will be posting news about the races on SCXWorldWide.com and Slot Car News as well as plans are firmed up. Just a note, I'm not hosting/planning these races myself.
