Default Byron April 24th

The North Shore Corvette Club is having an event at Byron Dragway Sunday April 24th. We should have our own staging lane for morning test & tune and do a bracket elimination at about 1:00pm. Would be nice to see some Forum members there.

Yes, at the Woodfield Sears Auto Center parking lot, 8am for caravan. May Betty not be a sleeping giant on Sunday.

Sunday, sunny and 80 degrees. For those not going to the Vettester Show, come on out to Byron and test your reaction time and shed some rubber.

Jeff, you should of stopped by. There were probably 40 cars in total there max., run as much as you want. We had 8 show up, no Corvette Forumer's though, maybe next time. Sad that with 250 + club members, we get such a low turn out also.That's why I'm reaching out here to make these events more interesting. We have two more coming up, Byron and Greatlake, keep ya's posted, some autocross too. I came in 2nd in our bracket race, with a best of 12.89 for the day. My son came in from Milwaukee with his Ford Taurus SHO, 13.79 best. Not many pictures, was in car dragging most of the time.




2nd place trophy, comps of Byron.





My opponent for this run, Jr., trying to SHO off.





We had our own staging lane. Car in front of me came in 1st, for the bracket race.





Lanes next to us, not many there.

Sorry I didn't make it over Frank (Kevin had me trapped in his car). I'll try next time and take your photos!
