That thing is rowdy!!! 
IF the weather is dry on Friday, I'm heading to Eddyville. I wanted to go to TSR yesterday, no locals to make the trip with me. I'm def going once it cools down some more, I need that new personal best!

FYI, not to change the subject or anything but incase someone wanted to know, if anyone ever try to mount a set of 15x8" wheels on a C5 vette........can't be done let me tell ya lol - i was bound and determined to do it, ground the calipers down and all that, only problem is, the top ball joint knuckle is in the way......
I've got a set of 16" IROC's that bolt right up but i've got no M/T radials for a 16" rim..... so i guess i'm stuck burnin down my new 19" wheels this Friday night lol - unless some has a set of 255 or 275 /50/16 that i could buy for cheap

The # of good nights to go out is dwindling!

BCNUL8R congrats on getting the car running, how does it run?
On a bad note I hit a big *** coon with my car early thursday morning by the pella corp. bridge and really messed up my front bumper and SLP Grille. 1200 dollars worth of damage luckly insurance is covering it, but still it really sucks to hit something like that, unpreventable.

Thanks OH2LE and Unstang. Nice meeting you guys too. You both have sweet rides. Apparently the cops loved the sound of it down town too. I would be up for a track night. Can't use any sticky tires though as my rearend sounds terrible and will probly break any mile now
