Default Wilm. De practice spots?

I went to Atco last night and I became keenly aware of how much practice time I need. Where in North Wilmington can I do this? Where are your spots?

It is closer, but I used to live in Jersey and have a bunch of friends out there.

I don't know anybody at Cecil.

I practice all the time at:

130 Hickman Rd.
Claymont DE, 19703

Here's an example:


The owner of units 28-30 loves it. He asks us to come down and do burnouts all the time.

Ha ha, i haven't seen your new shop yet Fran. I'll have to swing by one day. Maybe get some practice time in as well


I may have to head to Cecil one of these days. I hear it's a downhill track anyway. Maybe then I can get my 12 second slip.


Oh, BTW Fran I believe I saw one of your customers the other day. Black C6 with a huge lope to it up on Foulk Rd.

Just kidding, no burnouts at Fran's house.

Navy's C6 lopes like a 60's Muscle car with a 3/4 race cam LOL
