No the problem here is I can cruise in the z28 for 5 hours everywhere around town, and not find a damn thing with more than 200hp. Jump into my friends Lancer to go pick up a pizza, Trans Am, Camaro, Corvette, new Gt's, Evo's, *****'s!! Everywhere!

Corey you need to come cruise with me this Friday. We are having a dyno day in Sarasota at Heffners Performance. If you want to dyno your car we are charging only $50 for 3 pulls since it is a club event. I have the least horsepower in the group @ 920rwhp on a 98 degreee day. This is in my S/C Viper not the 69. You can drive down there with me Friday morning. Sunday we have a private rental at Bradenton track or DeSoto Speedway it is called now. You can run your car or just come and hang. If anyone is interested in coming to either event just drop me a line for the times.


Now what were you saying about no fast cars around here

Oh its not that they aren't around, its the trouble in finding them. Judging by what I saw out at OSW, there is obviously a ton of vehicles running the same times I am, so there should be a lot of close street action, but I can't seem to get any.

Can't make the track event as I have to work Sunday... well what time is the track deal on Sunday? I really don't like rearranging my work schedule but I guess I will give it some thought. I just went to OSW last week though. You said you guys are sharing the track Saturday though, is that still on, any details on that?

I dyno'd my car not long ago down at RevXtreme and haven't made any changes since.
Its good stuff though that you have things going on. Would be nice if I had a regular weekend like normal people. If I'm not having my usual Thursday activities of Xbox and alcohol, I'll be interested in going to watch some dyno action, although my truck has been on jackstands for 4 months, I should show that thing some loving.

That Viper is making some sick power, congrats. You're making 620 rwhp more than my Z28.

Sunday the track opens at 9AM and goes hot at 10AM. We have 6 cars from Texas that are coming. Underground Racing from N. Carolina is coming. Fast Cars, great weather and new friends. Not much more anyone can ask for in life.

Car washes in the Spring Hill area?Whenever I drive the Z down from Cleveland,Ohio,it needs to be washed.If I drive down on a friday/saturday,I'm generally able to find a fund-raisig car wash along the way once I get down to central florida.But coming down during the week,I generally need to find a car wash,not the drive in automated type,but the wash yourself is what I'm looking for.Back in 04 I used one,based on memory,south on Mariner,possibly past where Mariner changes to Shady Hills Rd.Don't know if that one still exists.

We had 200 cars registered thursday night and than more in the back parking lot.


Old Towns big event is Saturday night. Larger crowd and normally there are over 300 pre 72 cars but a night like tonight where the temps are going to be in the low 70's Old Town could double that number and has many times. Dam now I am thinking of going.

Depending on who is going i might take out my 98 WS6, I have been up there one so far this year but it is always the same crowd and i never seem to see mnay or any F bodies up there so i rarely go.
I would be interested in a track day, i have yet to run it on the track yet.

I might head up there this week, never know whats happening on Thursday.
I usually park a few rows back due to the car usually being dirty and the clear coat coming off the driver door and roof. You can def. hear my arrival and departure though.
