Anybody know what kind of shape that track is in now? I grew up in Rockford and I can recall it almost shutting down a few times. I don't think it's certified for NHRA events anymore either. I think at one time it was a premier track in the Midwest

Never been there, but they seem to have decent amount of events on their schedule.

Well I'll be there for sure, would be cool if you guys can come too.

Byron is well maintained. Even early season will be plenty prepped for our cars. See you guys there.

I would love to go but why so far isnt their a drag strip closer to chi town?

Looks like I may not be able to make it. We should actually plan a date for all of us to hit up the drag strip. Went to Byron a couple weeks back, track was in good shape.

For me it's abot the same travel time to us41, GLD, and Byron. Regardless Byron would be my first choice of the three.

route 66 raceway is a little closer but their next t&t is 5/14.
