I had to do Byron Saturday only, work stuff needs doing Sunday, So I didn't see much in the way of wheelie action, just a few practice runs.
I did meet up with Royce, we had a great day, and a good mexican dinner later. The best part of this hobby is the friends you make!
They had a FINE drag racing show going on. The Chicago super Stock Mafia was out in force, some dozen plus 8.50 crowdpleasers doing 3 foot wheelstands off the line. Nice show by the topdawgz pro mod gang too, with some awesome runs. And sme group I didn't catch layed down some six second @ 200 plus runs.

Gallery of the pics I took is here http://www.firstgens.com/picture-galler ... day-1.html

You guys that are there today (Royce, Harley, Jeff, &?) add to this thread, and put up your own galleries with the pics you took. Royce took a bunch of vids yesterday, would like to see some of them as well.

Yup great day today. :thumbsup: The weather was nicer (warmer) sun was out. The wheelstanders where cool, but for me the real action was the final rounds for all the race classes. :thumbsup: Some nice wheelies there to, and from guys trying to go fast not just flip the car. The Gremlin won again. Now granted he had a real nice wheel-stand but it's also a purpose built car and there were some others as nice that won the other prizes (without having purpose built cars). The camera is dead, and I will have a ton of pics to sort though so I'll post some pics tomorrow. Oh almost forgot also got to hang out with cool friends as well. Including a real life celebrity. :bowdown: ( Royce ) :bowdown: Who got the royal treatment all afternoon, and had more friends there than anyone I've met, and he probably never met any of them before this weekend. :clink:

Yes it is, and you'd think it would flip on a dime, but the best he could do was 4-6"s of air under the front after 4 attempts.
