Those of you in NE we plan on hosting a race for a few different classes at MAM. We don't have a date set in stone as of yet but we're looking around the beginning of October. If we can get a good turn out MAM plans on throwing in on the purse as well.....my guess is the true street class will bring the biggest crowd which should fit most of us ls1 guys.

If you are interested check out the site
http://www.midwestspeedfreaks.com

here's the thread about the classes
http://www.midwestspeedfreaks.com/fo...c.php?f=4&t=21

Also, keep in mind that when this race turns out as good as we expect there will be two more races next year as well. hopefully those will be held around the beginning and the end of the season.

So did anyone make it to st. paul for GCA days on the 10th of July? Was a badass time. There are quite a few video's on youtube of the 1/8 mile races. I had my mystic teal z28 there again. Raced a 2010 camaro with exhaust that was a 6 speed manual and then raced an 85 mustang with a bored over 460 and beat him bad too.

Damn, all this talk about Nebraska kinda makes me miss it a bit. Lived in Lincoln for 8 years and G.I. for 15. At least I made sure to leave a few parking lots with something to remember me by, rubber is still there till this day. That was 2 years ago....LOL!

What tires you use. I leave black marks all over the place, but they are usually faded or gone the next time I am around
