Default Byron dragway this saturday (nov 3rd) anyone?

I would love to get out one last time before the weather really turns bad. I missed the Oct 20th trip due to a Road America driving school that really kicked butt! Anyway, let me know if anyone is in. I am new to this, so I am not sure if I should notify Byron or if we just show up... So far the forecast is 56 and sunny! Let's close out this year with a bang. Look forward to it, peace out!

Come on Brian! You can't have that thing done by Saturday morning? I'm planning on getting there right at 10am. Hope to see a bunch of guys there. Brian, let me know when you need help reassembly now. Disassembly was a blast!

One of the boys from Clubgp.com is going to run his GXP so maybe I'll take the ride out to root you all on. What is the parking situation like there? Gravel, grass, asphalt?

You can park on regular pavement. I have never parked there before... I've always just been waiting in line, but from what I remember seeing there are a lot of trailers and cars parked on normal asphalt. Hope to see you there.

not sure when it will be finished....I'm trying not to set deadlines b/c i dont want to set myself up for disappointment or stress myself into just giving up. when i have time i'll work on it...if i get frustrated i'll walk away for a bit. it's been smooth and a lot of fun so far (as scott can attest)......

I'm up for meeting up there and heading out. What time? 9:15am or so? I think they open at 10am. I think there is a gas station there? Did you guys just meet there?

Do you guys take the tollway to 20 to 2? Or do you take the scenic route all the way on 72?
