Default Byron Dragway tommorrow...

Any locals interested in joining? The chicago SVT club will be there and I guarantee most of those cars will be whooping my ***...

Dont waste your money going to 66...you will get like 2 runs in 3 hours. Your better off going to US41.

I got about half a dozen runs in...I was having a great time destroying the windy city corvette club and even a few from the chicago shelby cobra club!

On my first pass I ran against a C5 yellow vette and everyone was looking at me like I was about to get my *** kicked...anyways I completly destroyed that first vette with him running a 13.2@105 to my 12.3@113.

Once we got back into the staging lanes he was a little shocked and asked what I had done to the SRT. Needless to say after that run everyone took me alot more seriously.

I had an incredible race against a new 2 door awd BMW 335i. He had a tune, exhaust, intake and few other goodies. I ran 12.433@112 to his 12.483@108. Toward the end of the track I passed him pretty strongly. He was more than shocked considering he had a 1.6 60ft compared to my 1.9.

It was fun but no new records for me. I do have a few of these runs on video which I will post shortly.

Nice runs! What was the weather like? Just wondering if warmer air slowed you down like all of us down south friday night?

Damn!!! Pulling on a turbo car on the top end—that's pretty damn cool!

It was high 60's but the DA was pretty high most of the day (from what I was told). I ran good overall...My 60ft's were hurtful but otherwise things were good.
