I wasn't able to stay as long this time, but as always it's good to see the crew and hang out! Definitely something I'd like to make more of a habit though when things aren't so busy...
Got to see a 2007 ZO6 make few pulls too...

Yup, definitely went to the wrong place. The state does suck for a lot of things I guess, there's no denying that! If you have firearms, start checking into the the laws for those... you'll be disgusted by the laws and my have to ship them back to IL.

I guess... my wife asked around on some boards for places to go, but no one had a place within an hour that was still open so we went to the shell station down the street. Only took the c6, and I still have to get the GTO done.

I'm afraid of what they'll say about that car if they had problems with the c6.

So anyway, where should we go? Feel free to PM

I'm also too far to make a suggestion, but I heard someone refer to Ron. We have a Ron here on the forum that can probably help.
