Default Byron Dragway - Oct. 20th

Me and some other LS owners will be heading to Byron on October 20th for a test and tune day. Hopefully the air will be cold and dry so I can try to beat the 12.28 I got back in September. There are no events on the docket for that day so you should be able to make as many passes as you want. It's $30 to get in, totally worth it. Byron is the best track with the best track prep in the tri-state area.

Heading there on the 19th with a group of guys. Hoping to dip into the 9's with the cool October air. Can't do the 20th as I fly out to Vegas that day

Yeah they don't tech unless you count cleaning the windshield to write the number on your car.

I went on the 20th, got the car all ready to go and the guy 2 cars ahead of me hit the wall pretty hard. He was fine but they did close the track down for an hour and a half. I ended up leaving without making a single pass. Guess i'll have to shoot for 9's in the spring now
