Anyone know a 1/4 track around polk county or anywhere closer to four corners. like Orlando, Kissimmee area. I went to Orlando Speed world and was very disappointed. first I thought it was gonna be dry. No. Then, On their site. It advertises a 1/4 mile track. So I drove all the ******* way out there for a 1/4 mi track. NO. They were running the 1/8..... Pissed and not wanting to wast a good trip I ran anyways on the wet track. **** it right. with bad reaction times I could only muster a 9.1. Two G8's with intake and exhaust only did 9.1's and 9.2's so I didn't feel too bad.

I want to find a 1/4 mi track to test my firechicken before I cnc the heads and install my TSP 228r cam sitting here. anyone?

Bradenton is furher. I guess Orlando's dragway does do 1/4 just not year round??? So now I have to wait.. I guess....... Dammit.

I think I may have a car from one of your people.... Maybe, It would be a long shot if anything.

Red 98 TA painted black spray paint, beat to **** and then some. Bald tires 107k miles when I bought it. Maybe along shot. I bought it about a year ago now and is holding up strong. I'm gonna be rebuilding the whole car. I love me a good project with a hopeful happy ending.

Yea I had a good tax return so I figured I'd buy a Cheap LS1 and it was some asian guy in Lakeland. I beleive Dom was his name too. It's beat to ****. looks a lot better now a days though. Drives great too. I am rebuilding the motor and getting it painted very soon. I like projects, I don't think I ever bought a car that I wouldn't have hopes and dreams for. I just wanted more info on what's actually in the car if anyone knew anything, like gears, shift kit, headers what happened to the car to get it in this condition. It's kinda beat up still, I own't lie, But I like it. cheap Horse power.
