I had a great time guys, Sorry Josh//darkhalf and I left a little early, G/F's wanted to go to I cubs game. Next time lets hope for just a bit warmer weather, it was really nice when Jacob and I first got there, but it started getting chilly quick. It was awesome to actually put names to screen names, and put cars to pictures We will deffinatly have to do it again, be it dinner, or a cruise or both.

Thank you Jason for not posting the picture of my car. I hope that is one of the ones that turned out crappy. I am glad you got your car squared away in a hurry.

Hell no that wasn't my driveway! That was another friend of ours. I had a really good time at Rookies. Looking forward to doing it again when it gets a bit warmer. I don't know what other people think but I say we keep going there and get more people to show up, they have a great parking lot and easy to get there. It's nice and convenient for the WS6 store guys to show up and hang also!

Welcome to the Iowa thread!
Cedar Falls is better than average for track prep, some days it is real good, some days not so good, it kind of depends on what kind of cars are there. We'll see how it is this year.

I'd be game for that. I'm getting the car retuned in a couple weeks and it would be cool to see where it's at.

May 3 sounds like a good time I'll see if I can get off work for that. I agree on making rookies a regular meet spot. I think we could get a big group together since we had around 10-15 cars saturday.
