Default Victoria guys ---->

Looking at a transfer from New Orleans to Victoria, I would actually have to relocate and not sure how much time I have to do so. I'm looking for apartments, most the stuff I'm finding online looks a bit crappy. So where are the decent parts, where do I avoid and any one know any nice, newer gated complexes? I think the office is actually in Edna, but they told me Victoria, looked close enough on a map. Also do you guys have emissions testing?

Thanks man, looking on the internet and not finding a lot of stuff to choose from. Noticing a lot of stuff is income restricted, i.e government housing. Not looking to good

I asked a couple of guys at work that live in Victoria, they told me the only really high end stuff is on the North side around Target or behind the mall somewhere. Im not real sure at this point I know one of them is a gated community with small Garden type homes from what I here

It is about a 20-25 min drive from Victoria to Edna, if that is were your office is located.

Sorry - don't live in town so don't pay attention to the apartments. But try to stay on the North side of Victoria.

Hmmm, you'd be under 2 hours from SAR.

Good luck on the move Neil.

Look at the bright side Neil, there's bound to be a heavy saturation of third gen TPI and LT1 cars in the trailer parks... you'll fit right in.

I worked in LA for about two years, I'm from Houston and have lived in Houston this entire time. I will say, I do like craw fish. Todd, I'm only two hours away now from SAR, if you guys go out there I would go too.

Good deal. Wasn't sure where you were living now. We might be going to SAR before the shootout. Allow Tony to get some seat time on the new set up. However, I will definitely be going after the shootout because Mike Maher will be testing out his new big block in his third gen. It ran a best of 8.95 on the small block with 300 shot. Should be insane on the new motor.

Todd,

Last time y'all went to Dallas right? I think Tony likes that track for what ever reason. With this new job I hope I'll be in town more often, be cool to see the blue beast rollin out.
