Thumbs up New To This Site......hello

I just found and checked out this site today and just thought that I would comment on how cool it is to find a site that actually has a forum geared to Canadians. I am a member and use 2 other f body sites alot but they dont have an area for Canadians as a matter of fact I havent even seen that many other Canadians onthose sites.
I own a 93 firbird lt1 of course so I didnt think that this site would be of any help to me............boy was I wrong, keep up the great work guys.
I also see that there is a KW area fbody club. Does anyone know if there is such a group in the London area, I live in St.Thomas actually but I know there wouldnt be anything in St.Thomas LOL.
Thanks again guys.......Great site

Welcome to the board.

St Thomas is where we go T&T'g. When we go we'll post up and would be more than happy to meet up.

Have fun and see you at the track.

If you read their website, it says it has been settled. It looks like they have a full season scheduled aswell.

Ya it has been settled it looks like the track is going to remain open.....for now. I went to the drivers meeting a couple of weeks back. Dave said that it cost them 200 grand to make it go away and that they now are going forward with spending some $$$$ on the track but he said not to expect him to spend 2-3 hundred grand on resurfasing the track. He did address the return rd and said that there would be something done about it and that there was going to be some paint applied......to what he didnt say.
Im just woundering how long it is going to take some other idiots to try to shut it down...that is why I said for now.
The only real change at the track is that races cant start till 1pm on sundays, but as Dave said I guess that instaed of having noise at breakfast they will have it at supper time. In my opinion looks good on them.
Hope to see you guys out there this summer and hope we can get some f bodys out there in force and show them guys with those blue things how it is done . Im ussually out there fri and sat night and most race day saturday and sundays.
