Byron is a great track to test on part of district 16. John should have taken a pic of the nucular plant thats this track is known for.Wish I knew they were going there to test it's about 1.5 hrs from me.

Somehow I missed this one....

The traveling team consisted of...
Mike Leavitt
Todd Leavitt
Roger Kelly
Jackie Gillespie
And me....

The five of us all squeezed into a Dodge 3500 similar to the one pictured...

Towing a 26' Thule trailer loaded up with bikes, spares (thanks to Roger), tools, gear, luggage, sleeping bags, food and so much more....

If you saw the size of Roger and myself, we were squeezed into the back seat, but poor Jackie was in the jump seat in the center... for over 14 hours!!!

This trip was done on a very low budget. We stayed at Craig's house during the week and he was very generous in so many ways... he even paid for our dinners out. (Thanks again Craig!)

I have some video of the Nuclear plant as we drove up to the track. Unfortunately we did not have a schedule of when we would be at Byron, so I was unable to let anyone know..

When I have some time I'll edit and publish the video from Byron.

To pronounce Mike's last name - Lev (as in leverage) it. Hopefully that helps!

The pipe is an FMF fatty... and yes we are waiting for the design of a custom pipe from the engine builder... (2T Institute) We will be testing the cylinder and head this week, to see if it improves the power and/or delivery. We're very excited to test it out.
Life is short.

Thanks John for filling us in on the "crew".
Sounds like a great bunch of people.
This Craig guy from MicroBlue Racing sounds like a class act.
Just making it to the track in my book is a win.
Just like what Mike said earlier..people were cheering for him
You surround yourself with good people, stay headed in the right direction, think positive and good things will happen.

With the 'A' in there I would have never pronounced it like that, so thanks John!
