50th Anniversary of the E Type Celebration
This year’s annual event was one of the best and certainly the most comprehensive outing we have ever done. The three day event included Slalom on Friday, Concours on Saturday, and “the picture” on Sunday highlighting the 50th anniversary of the legendary E-Type.
Saturday was the “really big show”. We had 83 cars on the field, 44 judged, 39 displayed.
On Sunday 41 E-types lined up for a group shot of the cars and a shot of owners with their cars.
Extravaganza!
The Illinois Jaguar Club invites everyone to join us at the beautiful Pheasant Run Resort in St Charles Illinois for our three day Extravaganza. We have locked in until June 28th 2011 a special rate of $109 per night. Get directions and check out the resort at http://www.pheasantrun.com/ .

This is a first time event for our club and we welcome all of you experienced drivers to join us for 50 seconds of fun. Later in the day we will be welcoming those of you that will be joining us for the Concours d’Elegance on Saturday. Don’t forget to check out the many options for entertainment at the resort. Laugh it up at Zanies Comedy Club, or catch a show at the theater. Why not check in to the Spa to unwind from a hard day of racing.
If racing isn’t for you then Saturday’s annual Concours d’Elegance should hit the spot. Registration will be from 9:00 till 11:00 AM. Judging will commence at noon. Some of the best cars in the Midwest will be on display so come out and bring your Jaguar. Following the Concours we will have an awards banquet with cocktails beginning at 6:00pm, a culinary delight created by the chefs of Pheasant Run Resorts will be served at 7:30pm. The Awards for the concours will be presented directly after dinner. This year a 1960’s theme will be featured, so if you dare pull out the tie-dyed shirts, bell bottoms, and rest of your “Groovy” items and join in the fun!
