Default Byron Saturday

Any one intrested in going to Byron Sat. If I can get enough people that can make it for sure i will try to secure a lane. I dont think it will be a problem to do so. But i need at least 10 or so. If you plan on going let me know by Wens. night at the lates.

Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike I am from Algonquin also. I can't make Saturday going to the Westwood lunch posted here by PerfectlyFrank but if you /guys decide to go Sunday I would in.

BTW if you decide to go Sunday you should come to the Saturday lunch in Schaumburg and if you want to pm me we could meet up to cruise there.

Mike I am near Randall & Corporate Pkwy kind of new to the area so not familiar where Huntington is at. We will have to meet up on a future car event pm me if you want on the next one you go to and if I can make it we could meet up to make the cruise there and I’ll do the same. It’s cool to see some one from the area on the forum.

Talking about Byron and Sunburst Corvette club reminded of this video I made I thought I'd share below which has some runs and pics I took from Byron of members from the Sunburst Corvette club when they were up there last time.


Notes
All vids and pics I took are from Byron except the 2nd and 3rd video which I did not take.
Most of the still vette pics in the video are of members from Sunburst Corvette club at Byron except of course the pro street vettes.
I really like that black C6Z that was up there.

I'm sure you'll have no problem keeping up Ken...you make 9's look too easy. I've got a new Timken wheel bearing arriving next week, so next time you guys go to Byran count me in...plus It'll be a little cooler weather by then. Have fun and be safe guys!

I saw that it says 50% chance for Byron tomorrow 35 % chance here, I have been there in the rain they close it till it stops and then they need to dry it, It takes forever, Maybe we should do it next week ?
