We meat as much as the weather permits. Sometimes we get a little and just go out and cruise for the lack of anything else to do. Never really got hassled for for racing.

County is a threat on JD road 24/7. Kev93z, myself, and another guy had a near run in with them real late one night. Moline and State are more common sights during daylight hours but you never know.

You could pick up a decent LS1 F car for 7-8 grand. A guy I work with wants to get one so I've seen a couple online and in wheeler dealers that he has with him at work. Usually 98-00 Z28's. It would be well worth it if you would go the extra distance financially. IMO
