Man, that's scary. 15 yrs old w/ a modded 12 sec LS1.

If this meet goes down, I'll stop by. I'm in Orlando often, how far is Orlando from Sarasota?

15-16 with a modded ss is ok as long as you're not an idiot about it... it's when the young bucks start getting forced induction that should worry people, my buddy got a zo6 with an lpe tt for his 18th birthday, before that he had heads,cam,s/c,open headers on his 02 ss. Now that is scary.

If you guys want to do the Hooters deal let me know, and lets see if we can get a descent crowd. I know the GM up there he'd probably hook us up in some way. I'm ordering my Corsa next week.. so I gotta put that on first.

Everyone knows where Hooters is comeon.. I love that place

Yup.. there's Bradenton Motorsports Park (Desoto) down SR64. SLP held their event in 2001 there, I think it was 2001. SLP needs to get off their *** and do their customer appreciation days again..
