I was thinking of going too but I noticed that on both days there are other events besides test and tune. How many passes do you think we'd make? I feel like the wait would be very long between runs

They pretty much have events at every test and tune at byron. If you get there when they open around 10:00am - 11:00am you will get plenty of runs in. This weekend they dont have Major events, I think Sunday when I'm going is chicago garage. Weather
Looks awesome. 65 degrees and sunny

When I went to Byron last time with Jason I was there from 10:30-6 and only got 3 runs in. I didn't get in line until about 11:30 so maybe I would've gotten 4 in. I really want to get back out there also but Im hoping to get out to GLD before the season is over. That track always works for me. Byron not so much

You probably went when they had a big event. I've been there when I could've made over 10 passes if I wanted to, then I've been there when I only made 3 passes as well. They don't have big events this weekend. If you get there at some point in the morning u will get plenty of runs in. I like GLD as well, but the track at Byron is better IMO. Even though I did run 8s at GLD I just like the consistency of Byron better.

I agree with a car like yours Byron seems better. Yes there was some kind of bike shootout I think so it was busy when I went. Maybe I will try to make it up there also. Ill see how my schedule is. If I break something Ill just load it up in your trailer so you can follow me while I drive the Junk box home

So you think chicago garage shouldn't be a big event?

That'd be cool if we have descent group out there. If weather permits, I'll be at a track this Sunday

Sunday is forecasting to be a beautiful day for racing! My mani is still not fixed (gotta take care of family first) so probably not much point in me running. But I may try to make it out to at least watch you guys run

Yea I dont think Chicago Garage will be a big event. This late in the season, they normally dont have that big of events besides last weekend the wheel standing compeition.

Its going to be a perfect day for racing. I plan to get there around 10ish and be there most of the day. We all will get plenty of runs in. Ill be there for sure

It's the MAP short runner. I thought about going to a ported stocker but I know I'll lose a little bit of power if I do, so I really want to stick with the MAP. Just need to get these two small cracks welded. Hopefully I'll see you guys Sunday!
