What's up western new yorkers. I am living in florida right now, about to finish my enlistment and move home next month. I am from the Tonawanda area. I was just seeing if there were any events/ meets in the local area to get involved in. I drive a 2001 T/A WS6.

There is the "shread and regan 103.3 the edge" Cruise nights at Lancaster Speedway every wednesday night (used to be at summit mall). Have grunge racing, show cars, bass off, all that crap going on. Of course there is the usual cruise nights listed on rodandpiston.com and whatever else that friends might know about. There is also a huge show every year that I go to right after July 4th weekend, the "Rod and Piston Super Cruise" Its a pretty good show, last year there was about 300 cars there and its seperarted by classes/years, and I took first for our class

i miss home... there isn't much here for me in florida. i'd rather be on the mountain snowboarding, and play some ice hockey. The only thing is i will sure miss my car when it goes in storage every winter. where is this quarter mile outside of geneseo? that sounds like it's worth it to me... about an hour and a half drive?

another question... i am going to be installing some ported ls6 heads, a cam (undecided, but know i want something mild), port my intake, and throttle body. any local place thats a reputable tuner for these cars?
