Default Island Dragway

Anyone go to Island, either on Fridays or Saturdays? We usually have a small group of local F-body people go every Friday starting in April. I'm always there on Saturdays for the Pro Bracket class.

I go to Island Dragway. Not a fan of the road that leads in but the people are nice. I may be there next friday in my 99 TA. It's black with gunmetal rims, and my helmet has Beg for Mercy on one side and the phoenix on the other. Say hi if you see me, my name is Al.

I was there several times last year and will be there again this year.

Not a bad place. They repaved the track late last year.

That's what stands out in my mind as well from the one or two times I've been there, a LONG rocky/wavey road in to the parking/track area.

Didn't want to call my car out this year on the internet? They could definately use some renovations but I don't mind the place. The biggest turnoff for me isn't the entrance road, it's the attitude of some of the employees. About half of them are outgoing and polite, but the other half act like you owe them something to run there.

You really cant let it go can you! I am honored to have so many internet stalkers. I'll come to your shop to call you out if you want. Your brother started the nonsense, I tried to end it but you never show up with YOUR car. By the way I have been 10.34, you have been 10.35. Either way I'll be @ Island like I stated and you can either bring your car or stay out of my threads.

Were you in the Pewter SS racing a Black Caliber R/T? I was there, I had to get fuel, I was driving around the pits in a white T/A with a black hood.

This is the kid I heard about. "I'll come to your shop to call you out if you want" Why is it that you always try to be so big on the computer?

Ill be big in real life too buddy. Youre little friend finally comes to the track and brings 4 people with him! You guys kill me. Like I said Im at the track every weekend, car #2593. Feel free to stop by. Are you the one with the Black LS1 popping, sputtering and spitting flames!!!! Good luck with that. I was running faster on 7 cylinders buddy. I have never had a problem with anyone on the forums until SSP showed up and Im the one being big on the computer! I dont act big, I just dont take **** from people when they talk non stop over the keyboard. These two talk so much crap moderators delete half the threads and posts they make. Race your "CAM ONLY" car against me or shut your mouth. Charlie started it, Im ending it. RACE or STFU. By the way why do you need to lie so much. You make a thread saying you and your brother are building 440's. Now you are going for the cam only record again. You should run for President, you dont know what the hell you are doing.

Oh yeah and like every other thread of mine you comment on I should add one of these
