That's just what they say. They're usually going up there for a meet of some sort or picking up parts. They live in Highland area, I guess they know quite a few import guys in Alton. I'll have to ask them. When it warms up I plan on making a few trips there just to see what's all going on.

The ones I know drive Hondas, one has a turbo coupe, I've never ridden in it but he says it's pretty quick. I imagine it is with it being less than 2200 pounds and 300+whp. Ericsz you'll have to hit me up sometime. I'm not far from highland at all and go through there every now and then. Id definitely like to go to some meets there during the summer.

Hell yeah Benton is a lot of fun. Went there about 10 times the past two years. I figured most people in that area would be going to gateway though. But you can get quite a few more runs in at Benton.

Well you can come too! My friend has an LT1 Camaro and his brother is almost done with his V8 S10, they will be coming to Benton as well. It will be a lot easier for me this year now that I am working day shift instead of 2nd shift. I can make damn near every midnight madness or go to Test n tune whenever without having to schedule a day off work. Ericsz what do you drive?

I checked about a week ago, Gateway didn't have their schedule up yet. I doubt I'll make the first MM. Too cold and I have class till 9:50 on Scott AFB on Friday nights. It probably won't be till April or May and I'll take my slow car there. Hopefully I have many of the issues fixed with it by then.

I'm in the Collinsville area. If anyone hears of any 98-02 f-bodys for sale let me know. I'm looking for something cheap. I've seen a few with 90-120k miles for $5K or less. I haven't pulled the trigger on any of them yet.
