Default Daddy/Daughter Day at Byron

A day at the Byron drags through the eyes of a newbie, my daughter. Its fun to get a different perspective.

My daughter is going to London for grad school. Lgaff was going and I've been talking to her about the drag strip for a while. She drives a 92 SHO.
So I thought it would be cool for her to experience it. Something for you guys to think about doing sometime and then they can edit a video for you too.

Your lucky that your daughter is old enough to enjoy it. I've still got little ones 10 and 12. And the brutal acceleration just terrifies them to death. But then again they used to be terrified of fireworks. Now they can't get enough of them.

Very nice Dom! Thanks for posting the video. I wish our track would let us take passengers.

Watching the vid, I picked up a couple of points. I hear the motor bog out of the hole. Need to come out at higher rpm. Also I think I let off just before end. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Awesome, Dom! I loved every minute of it!

Great that you have a daughter that is adventurous enough to try that. If she didn't get hooked, for sure she will not forget!

Have to see if my daughter would like to try that one day.

Both my kids like riding in my Z, they also like to help wash it.. I have a boy (8) and girl (5)

My boy went to the track 3 years ago with me, but I am not sure he is quite into the car thing yet. my daughter tends to follow her brother currently in those thoughts too
