Welcome! You will find the people on this forum very informative and helpful. Sac Raceway is all right. They don't prep it but it is a good place to practice and have fun with your ls1.

People tend to run little better times @ Sac raceway over Infinion (Searspoint) Raceway.

thanx for the greetings. i was going to go to wednesday night drags tonight but i dont really feel like making the trip out there today...plus i really need to change my tranny fluid. but next week im definitely going to make it out there. my gf's aunt and uncle actually own the raceway but they hardly ever see them. they saw eachother for the first time in like 8 years or so last christmas. so im gonna try and butter "uncle dave" up into letting me and my friends use the track just for us. whos in if i get it organized???
