Default Does anyone here go to strats?

I was wondering if anyone here goes to strats since i know i go up there every weekend but i never see many ls1's up there. It's a good place to hang we actually get races going off

Ya, I use to go up there every thursday (I think). That place would be packed as hell. But then it died down and now there is nothing going on there anymore.

I went to strats in villa park a couple times last year. It's cool and all, but it gets annoying having people run up to you all night and want to run. A few here and there is fine, and you can get a race off. But some people get really annoying!
