Really? I actually live in Pekin , not a lot of IL people know where it is. heh heh

The ironic thing is though that when I bought my OZ is that the sales woman was Vanessa Williams. I still have her card. Really nice lady,cute too. heh heh

There was a person in the Peo. area that posted once but I have yet to get a reply from them.

Do you work in Peoria?

Auto-X is usually in large parking lots.. one car at a time.. the track is laid out with cones to go around. You run against times.. you are also placed in classes with like cars..

eh, who cares about times.. just go and have fun.. learn how your car handles and brakes.. it is well worth it just for that imo.

Well it handles badly (marshmellow suspension) and it brakes even worse. If I didnt throw all my money away it would better

yep, u gotta take out that 75 pounds if u wanna race anyways..although if u bolt it in there enough, im sure they'll let u have it there and call it some balancing act sicne lancers are 60 front, 40 back.

well ive actually only driven on a course, i havent done parking ltos yet..i went to this go-kart track which was VERY cool, full of turns and interesting chicanes and places like Rockford Speedway where it's an oval and u go through slaloms on each straight..
