The 2nd annual Ladies Only Drag Race at Byron Dragway was a huge success!  Weeks leading up to the event, all weekends proved to be a huge wash out with flooding rains — one of a race promoter’s and race organization’s worst nightmares.  However, the day of the Ladies Only Drag Race, the racing gods cleared the sky and brought the ladies nothing but sunshine, a great track to race at and smokey burnouts!

Women from all over the Midwest gathered at Byron Dragway in Byron, Illinois to show off the skills behind the wheel and support the premier motorsports organization for women, Car Chix!  Racers were thrashing and testing as much as possible leading up to the event.  Unfortunately, a number of mishaps occurred with a few of the racers cars prior to the Ladies Race — Nonetheless, the ladies still came out in full force!

In addition to some of the hottest racing, Car Chix Ladies Only Drag Race attendees were able to meet with a number of the Women of the Motorsports from the 2015 Car Chix Calendar! Including: Miranda Lawson (Ms. January), Erin Braasch (Ms. February), Natalie Sorak (Ms. April), Jackie Braasch (Ms. May), Carissa Casimer (Ms. August) and Danielle Dobczyk (Ms. September)! Also, Shannon Butler, Ms. March of 2014, also known as Chi-town’s Most Feared Female Grudge Racer, had her new 4-eyed twin turbo mustang on display!

Thank you to everyone that came out to the event!  It was a blast!  Congratulations to all the winners and participants!  The next Ladies Only Drag Race is scheduled for October 10th at Sikeston Dragway in Sikeston, Missouri!  Hope to see you there!  View the full 2015 Car Chix Schedule to see when we are coming to your neck of the woods. All merchandise that was for sale at the 2015 Ladies Only Drag Race at Byron Dragway is up for sale in our online store.
