Actually, thats pretty funny. I was the only F-body running w/ ETR for the longest time, and now we've had an F-body invasion. I think we've got 4-5 signed up for our next event.

Just saw this one over here Eric, glad you enjoyed yourself and welcome to Street Modified!

Yeah, as Ryan said, there were i believe 3 F-Bodies signed up the event I ran. The event for next month should be a blast with even more F-Bodies!

Thanks for the good word Ryan, I really need some sticky tires, but i think ill just stick out the next couple events in SM on street tires.
