RPM Event Series
Saturday July 10th
Soldier Field
(same day roll in!)

A new Performance car show is debuting this year. The show is being organized by the Original founder of Hot Import Nights, and the Original founder of the NCCA and F4 Challenge. Due to overwhelming support for their judging practices last year at D1GP, they have decided to debut the show here in Chicago instead of the West Coast! With the national show scene in a difficult spot, this is Chicago's chance to shine and show the Nation exactly what we have going on here.

RPM is Performance based car show. It welcomes any modified or high end performance vehicles into its fold. The show is all about the enthusiasts, who work hard on their cars to make this scene what it is. Frustrated with the way the national shows like HIN have devolved, RPM is a step back to the spirit and feel of the original HIN. With an emphasis on modified and performance cars, there is no make and model bias at this event. Domestic, Exotic, Euro,or Import, we all have the same spirit when it comes to our cars.

Looks like a really good time!!

I might have to plan and budget going to this one. For those from out of town, I wouldn't stay downtown. Car parks are not always low car friendly or secure. The cost to stay downtown is pretty high compared to the suburban outskirts.

If I go, I would be staying around the Oakbrook Mall. It's pretty reasonable and safe for your car overnight. The drive in is a straight shot down the Eisenhower.

 

If anyone needs any pointers for hotel rooms and such, let me know. Always willing to help out. Luckily, this is same day roll in, so need to take cabs or anything if you dont want to.

 

Classes for the Dyno Challenge are in!

Highest Naturally Aspirated Horsepower 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Highest Forced Induction Horsepower 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Closest to 500 Horsepower

 

Bump! There are going to be a ton of Z's at this event.

 

The free VIP tickets with car registration promotion is ending on Thursday! Make sure to get your car registered!
