I drive through Seymour all the time. Its in goldsboro NC, which looks like a pretty small town. Raliegh is only about 60 miles away. It's a fun city with lots to do.
I couldn't tell you about the car scene, but jacksonville nc has a good 1/4 mile track.

the car scene has went down hill over the past five years but there are a bunch of nice cars on base.
I've been at SJ since Sep 2004

I'll be at Seymour Johnson come Aug of next year, gotta finish up with Osan AB first. Most people I talk to about have mixed fillings about it. If your O.K. with a smaller town then most seem to love it. If you love the big city better most seem to hate it. Just did 5 years in San Antonio, I'm ready for the smaller city life for a bit. Everyone says it's close enough to anything you can want, and racing will be better then LA. because of weather reasons.

If the military gave me Hazard Duty pay and Tax Free I still wouldn't go to that shithole known as Barksdale. I've known faaaar too many friends who've had their cars stolen (espcially Fbodies) or just been shot at. Plus its humid as hell down there and I'd prefer to not be on a nuke base.

Let me assure you guys of this......YOU DON'T WANT TO COME BACK TO KEESLER!!! My wife has been stationed here for 9 years of her career and it's like a sink hole you can't get away from. Since Katrina things have just gone to ****. There's hardly anything to do if you have a family. There are a few shopping places coming back, restaurants, and movie theaters but nothing like it was before.
As for the car scene.......Limp dick at best. Yes there is still Cruisin the Coast in October but that is only 8 days out of the year.
Can you tell we are ready for orders?
