I'm going, who else is?

Just want to give everyone a heads up about the traffic around Autobahn on the 9th-10th.

That same weekend is the Busch/Nextel Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Depending on which direction you are coming from, you may be redirected.

If you are coming from the New Lenox [east of RT53 on Laraway Rd], you will not be able to take Laraway Rd directly west to RT53. They block traffic before RT53 as an entrance to parking for the back straight of Chicagoland.

Also, get there early/on-time or be prepared to sit in traffic on I80. Traffic usually backs up onto the highway each year if I remember the traffic report.

We usually get to Chicagoland around 7:30 and traffic is already stop-n-go down RT53.

Also, you will probably want to be stocked up on fuel and not have to make a run, because it won't be a quick one.

Hope this helps someone.

I posted this on www.nasaforums.com too but I'd rather not have someone miss it and get to the track too late.
