Post Byron Dragway August 5th or 6th

To all Illinois area Lightning owners.

I met RobG Sunday at a local SVT vehicle show. We discussed trying to get a group of Lightnings out to Byron Dragway all at the same time. We have tentatively scheduled the outing for Saturday August 5th, and or Sunday August 6th. If enough of us get together, we could form our own club as did HALO. We could call our club something like ILLNESS(Illinois Lightning Lovers Needing Excessive Speed Stimulation). Let me know if anyone else can make those dates. Hope to see you all there. Christy Ann, start driving now so you can get there in time.

Bob,

Boy, will Lisa ever agree with that name!!! I'll check my schedule and see if I can make one of those dates, (Sunday only, LaMaze(sp?)classes Saturdays for me). Sounds like a good time just waiting to happen!

Later,
Jake...

Thumbs up

Lightning Bob,
Are you interested it the Borla Cat-Back ?
If my new stuff arrives I could bring the Borla with me to the track. Also, anyone that needs directions I will post the track phone # when I get home tonight so you can get directions. Later.
Rob

Put the Borlas on the side for me. I'll get them at the track. Ordered the throttle body from Mike this AM.

Byron info: http://www.byrondragway.com/
By the way they resurfaced the track in May and it is supposed to be outstanding.

Thanks,

Lightning Bob

Jim:

Did you get your cats changed out today?
If so what was the problem? RobG and ZorPrime just ordered the complete Bassani system. I'm sure they also would like to know what problems you experienced. Hope you can make the August date. Bring that other guy BigD (and Mark of course)with you.

We can do it again later in the fall when ET's will be better. Work on your neighbor to get his out of the garage and put some fun miles on it, 1/4 mile at a time.

Unhappy

Bob,

{whine on}
Am I missing something or are there NO maps or directions on Byron's website? I kinda' thought that would be a dandy thing to have on there. The photos of the pavement are nice, but I was hoping to find directions and see it in person.
{whine off}

Later,
Jake...

Mark;

See: http://chasinracin.com/track-locator/usamap/il/

Byron is the orange dot between Rockford and Rochelle. If you get into Byron you won't have any problems finding the track. Just roll your windows down and listen. If I remember right it is just South of state route 72, just west of the river. I'll get you better instructions before then.
