They called for rain every day last week and it was nice out, so keep our fingers crossed and ride it out.

It's still always packed. I had some buddies go last friday and it was pretty packed. I think that'd be pretty fun actually maybe if we met up at Streets of Woodfield and then cruised over to Strats.

Wait, thats the place over off north ave.. NM. I was thinking about a diff place.

I went to strats twice in the last few years. And unless you know people in the crowd, or are looking for a race I tend to shy away.

Bunch of evos, srts, and a few heavy hitters looking for cash races. Alot of cops, a thing I tend to shy away from as well.

Strats is going down for sure this saturday, I never been but know a few guys that go. It's going to be mixed but will have lots of muscle.

Lets make this happen, all I want to do is chill, not really trying to race. Let's do it, this Saturday, don't back down.
