Wow!! Byron dragway, now that's a name from the past. I haven't been there in almost 30 years. Did have a bit of luck there in the day, won a few and was runner-up at one of their old 64 car shows. The first time I raced there some local guy told me that the track just looks like it goes downhill, then I made a pass and told him, for my car to run that fast, the race track most certainly went downhill.

I remember reading years ago that the owner, Ron Leek, ran a foul of the local authorities over noise, or something, and had to close it down for a while. Wasn't it just an 1/8 mile track for a few years, or do they run it both ways? I drove by there on my way to WI a few years ago just to see if it had changed much. Neat facility, nice setting.

Sorry about the rambling. BTW,Good luck with the Chevelle.
