Yes Byron is about an hour west of Elgin and that's just going straight up rt 72.

I'm suprised that you have never heard of it. The Wheelstand competitions are unbelievable!!

There is also Greatlakes Dragway in Kenosha/Racine Wisconsin. That about an hour and a half. If you are in the Barrington area you are in the middle of all three (Byron, Joliet, and Greatlakes) All about the same amount of time to get to.

+1 for great lakes.. Not the fanciest track but cheap. like 40 bucks to race all day. If you go on a weekday at night there it is pretty empty and you should be able to make a dozen passes no problem. Tuesdays and wednesdays are the best.
