I'm also in Erie, do you plan on heading to Lucky's speedway at all this year? There are usually a decent amount of LS1's there (and your typical ricers and stangs to beat up on! )
Can't miss me. I'm the Hugger Orange Z.
It's also a 99.

Ok now I know 2 from Erie, sweet!

I think I have seen/heard your car around.......
Where did you get your LS1EDIT done?
I couldn't find any reputable places around here that like to work on LS1's, and have LS1edit.....

Gotta love a track that is uphill the first 1/8 and downhill the last 1/8th...
I didn't know they were open yet?
Test and tune 1/4's on Sat and Sun still? I hate when they only run 1/8ths, I've had that happen a few times.. just turned around and went home.
But,I will admit, I ran my best time there, and so has my brother.
We have both run at Thompson which is a much better track, and a lot more fun, but I can't resist going to one that is only a 15min drive.....
I might have to head out this weekend if i can find the time.....

I might have to head out, I'm going to go get my bottle filled now, and have a much needed bottle heater being shipped from HSW (site sponsor/vendor in Philly) today or tomorrow. I think I can definitely improve my times since last year my bottle pressure was always way low.

FYI: watch out for a couple of stags out there... My bro has a Procharged 99GT vert that runs 12.7's, and another friend has a 01KenneBell Yellow cobra that runs 12's also...
(the reason I had to get the spray, I couldn't let them outrun a LS1!!)
And I saw like a 95GT on slicks run 12.3 last year.... and he was upset with the slow time?........ I didn't even ask what he had done...........

Really, Im always going by there on Depot Rd. Im suprised I never have seen a SOM Camaro. Nice.

You grew up in HC, nice. Looks like us eastsiders have good taste in cars.

I dont know if you guys have also seen a 02 yellow secial edition WS6, thats another guy that lives down off of east lake rd. And there are 3 others around that I talk to. We should get some f-buddy cruises together.

It's actually Hugger Orange, people always think it's red if they don't look close. (My girlfriend has a SOM Cobalt, I like the Hugger orange much better)
Is the yellow WS6 the yellow one with a lot of black trim? I have seen one like that around a few times.
I haven't been driving it much lately because I just spent like 3 hours detailing it, and didn't want to put it in the rain. I brought it out today though.
Gotta love getting on 90 from Depot... I usually end the onramp well over 100mph!

Where do you work at?
I thought I saw you work with ATV's and Bikes and stuff. Cycle City or off road? I'm in both places a bit.... (anything with an engine, I have one or want one!)

I'm definitely game for a cruise. Let me know where/when......
