I'm gonna try to make it, but I live in knoxville so it depends on work. I will be there some time this year for sure bc Knox only has 1/8 too.

Freakin rain!!!! I forgot to mention I have an office in Jc so I'm up there about 4 days/week, maybe we can meet up one day. Most of my friends think I'm crazy bc I race and not many go to track so I usually go Lone Ranger. Lol when I first got my camaro my v6 Buick outran it, I'm sure you will do better than I did at first, it's not where you are at now that matters it's where you're going... Maybe we will have sun next time, rained me out twice in four weeks so far...

Sorry been busy lately. Lol no seriously my 98model 3800 lesabre.. my poor baby had a smog era non h.o. Original 305. With a whopping 190hp. Lasted about a year. Prob a high 10 second 1/8 car. I'm with you I've only dreamed of a Gn. Bad news though I ripped tranny out last Friday night at knoxville drag strip so it may be longer before I get up there now. There are 13 or so weeks of street fights right? Oh if you make it before I do please post vids. Ill PM you my number I'm up in Tri cities for work quite a bit, maybe we can meet up and grab a bite one day and I can get a look at that bird.
