I used to live in Manitowoc. Not a whole lot there, especially job-wise. Moved down to central IL. Not much here either. LOL.

There's a lot of things I miss about Wisconsin to be honest, but I doubt I could move back.

I really miss the layout of cities up there, down here its one big sprawling commingled concrete mess of non-zoned properties. There's no feeling of individuality in the Houston area.

I really miss people with driving ability. You don't realize how WELL and COURTEOUS people drive up there, until you come here

I miss WATER !! I've always lived no more than 4 miles off the lakefront (Michigan). This is a change, and I don't like it..

On the plus side, it stays warm here, our racetracks are open all year, performance cars on every corner, good food !!! There's a crapload of "Texas Pride" that is pretty unique to the state, folks really do feel close ties to Texas..

Wisconsin International Raceway they have a 1/4 mile dragstrip as well as 1/2 and 1/4 mile paved ovals all in one grounds. I am in New London which is just west of Appleton or SW or Green Bay if you prefer. I plan to make it down to GLD a few times this year.

I live in Stevens Point now... grew up in Kaukauna. Bought my car last year and never had the time to make a run. I am hoping I can find some time this year.

Are there any car shows up by Steven's Point? My parents live in Adams County and I am up there often in the summer.

I think there is one in Plover once a year. Not too big though. Always a short trip to the Iola from Point for their show which is usually in July.
