Only $15 for T&T. Ive heard they prep it better and you get more runs in then you do at the rock. I have waited over an hour every time ive been to the rock between runs on fun days.

CF is a 1/4 mile and usually worth the drive because of the track prep. The track is IHRA with almost non-existent tech, so for true street cars it's popular. To me the best track is Tri-State in Iowa. It's 280 miles one way but worth the drive.
Here are some local club boards.

Weather permitting I will be at the Midway this Saturday. We should pick a time and meet up.

Well it is the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" so skiing, fishing, tubing in Somerset, WI,hunting and snowmobiling are really popular. But there is no coast like the Gulf Coast. So are you moving up?

Well, got a phone call today and looks like they will have my $ package together in 2 days and let me know all the details. Was wondering what is the cost of living like? Would like to find something with a garage to keep the TA in during the winter. The job will be in bloomington. Does anyone here live in or around that area? Or does anyone know of anyone needing a roommate possibly? If anyone can help thanks.

Congrats. I used to live in Bloomington. It's one of the more congested suburbs, but the western part is nice. Cost of living is slightly above average, but MN offers a good "way of life". Here's a link to look for rentals, you can also try apartments.com. Apartment rental is on the high side pricewise and most offer a garage option at an additional cost.
