I believe everyone can learn things from an 1/8 mile track..... esp with the lauch and working on your 60' times.....

Yeah i hear ya...





Sean, Nope OBX is closed..... i think they might go to VMP because its the only thing worth a damn for track prep without driving to MIR.... they prob shut down early anyways...

So, who is going with me and ben and skylar on september 8th to the ride for pride cruise up in northern va? Gonna be a great time and very memorable, not something to take lightly. I went last year, my old crew kind of runs it and im lookin to have some guys from down here roll with me to show support. Its all in memory of 9/11/01, and very fitting because me and skylar leave for our 15 month deployment to Iraq in almost exactly 1 month. PM me for details and i will tell u where u can get the skinny on meeting times, ect.
