I'm from Hertford NC about 1.5 hrs from there. But I go to Chesapeake about once a month Sadly I generally have to take the van though.
Let me know if you want to come down to NE dragway some time and I'll meet you there. I'm generally working at the track but it's always cool to meet people off of the site.
BTW welcome to the best site on the ls1 cars in the world.

I was there too, almost got to run the car at least they let me run once Sat. night.
Yeah I work with the rescue squad so I'm there with them at least one Sat. night a month sometimes twice. Are you going this weekend I believe the Quick 8 door slammers are going to be there to make up the race from two weeks ago when the timing system got struck by lightning.

What is NE an 1/8th mile? I usually go to Va Motorsports Park, I have a friend I stay with 20 min. from the track. Pretty convenient, race all day and party the rest of the wknd. It can get crowded on saturdays though.

Ya it's an 1/8th mile track. They prep the track pretty good most nights. On my 1 and only run so far I had a 2.00 60' with street tires and my girls carseats in. LOL.

Do any of you va beach guys recommend a shop to install longtubes and a ls6 intake, as I am incapable right now due to major lower back problems? Thanks!

Some local guys would probably be willing to help you out at my place. Any of you VA guys on Eastern F-body? Check it out, www.easternfbody.com. We are all going up to MIR for the tech race in September, and we have a shoot out there 3 times a year, you missed the first two, next is in October. It is always a blast.

I work at Langley, know a lot of the guys in VA Beach.
