Any of you go to a drag strip?

I'd like to get my gt500 on a strip sometime to see what it will do. I'm a road racer (not with the gt500) but know nothing of drag racing. I'm in the far NW burbs of Chicago. So who wants to teach a noob?

Are you on CMC (Chicagoland Mustang Club)? There's some good local racing discussions there and they usually host a track day a couple times a year. I went to their last one up @ Byron. Good times!

I'm a member of a local car club called Midwest Racing. We're a small club, but we go to Byron once a month from April to September, sometimes in October if the weather is good. All of us are car guys and drag racers at heart, feel free to check us out, we have a website at www.midwestracing.net

I like Byron a lot more than 66, it's just so far away. 66 is like 10 minutes from me.
