Is Goodguys in Chicago canceled this year?

Yes it is.

Lack of attendance coupled with scheduling conflicts with the facility led to the end of this event. Sad to see it go. I really can't believe that the Chicago area did not support this event any better.

I heard Only 900 cars showed up last year. Our car was one of them. On Sunday an additional 200 late model cars were registered. Its too bad about the cancellation. This was a good event.

I also was sad to see it go but I can honestly say I am not surprised. Attendance seems to be terrible for anything automotive related at that track. Super Chevy even cancelled their event there.

Yep. Most every event that sets up there has a hard time of it.

Yep ever sines they opened that track they have had trouble getting people to go to events there. I went to the first 4 years of the NHRA races there and then they added the second event and attendance went down. Then they cancelled the second race after a couple of years.

I think it's because here in Chicago we have so many cruse nights and such we get to use our cars more often, or maybe we just aren't car show guys anymore. We like to drive them. I know I do (well that is if I ever finish it ).

Maybe we should try to do a Pro Touring cruse night or maybe something like a poker run type event?? Sometime in early fall?? Maybe I will start a thread to see how many would be up for something like that??
