(NW ILL.) Next 2 week-ends at Byron Dragway
It looks like....
Sunday the 8th: Ladies day...AND girls race free. How can anyone pass that up?
Saturday the 14th: Chicago Corvette Club and Northern Illinois Corvette Club race day...this could be really good.
Also both days are "Test and Tune" so anyone can run all day for $25 or so. Plus the drive out to the track is pretty scenic.
If the weather is good, it might give me a reason to try out my "new" MT DR's. 
Just checking to see if anyone else might be thinking of going.

Absolutely....I'll post here a day or 2 before to update whether I'm going to go or not. It does sound like with the 2 Corvette clubs out there it might be a little crowded, but who knows.
Anyway, I'll let you know. Maybe some other guys will be going as well and get there early enough to let you know too. We'll see....
Also, Joliet (Rt 66) track has T and T the same day (and others). It's a little more money but probably more organized. Go here:

In any case, I'll PM you with my contact info.

Boy, that could be fun... I'll know my schedule better as it get's a little closer. If you can get more of the really heavy hitting (fast) cars like yours there, that would be a really cool time. -Chris

We have 12 guys confirmed for the 14th with the Chicago Corvette Club. Can't wait to run my C6 with the N2O to see what it really can do.
Come on out it will be fun. We have a C5 TT to test too.
I was there 2 weeks ago not very crowded at all.
