They used to have a site called abilenestreetscene.com I just did a search for it and it brought up this... http://www.wtxracing.com/ looks like some of the same guys are on there so give it a shot. I spent about 8 years there and we had a decent car scene for the size of the town.

I'm in abilene now. There are some nice cars around here but the get togethers/cruises are weak. Usually only a few cars will show up. Like 99WS7 said http://www.wtxracing.com/ is a good site to find out whats going on in the area

thats because the local car seen here sucks. most of the guys fall into 1 of 2 categories.

1. College Kids with ricers
2. Car Guys that go to DFW to do anything. (i am in this one)

i wouldnt mind getting a LSx / car-in-gerenal "club" together, have have weekly, bi-weekly, or whatever get togethers.

I know its been a while since someones posted here but I figured I'd give it a shot and see if ya'll are still here. Cole I believe I saw you at the shopette a few weeks ago, is your car dropped a little bit? I'm a B1 engine troop, got a 02' SS and a 91' RS. Funny thing is when I got here I realized my roommate is also on LS1 tech, has a 98' head/cam T/A.

-Edit, Nevermind about my roommate, that R-Tard posted above you is him

Awesome. There's a good bit of nice cars rolling around here, I just haven't had a chance to meet any LS people yet. There are alot of car enthusiasts on this base, thats for sure.

Camarorokr, yes my car is lower. H&R with spacers for the nivomat load levelers in the rear. Car is about 1.5 to 1.75 inches lower then stock.

And you guys should check abilene racing forum. A few local guys, mainly mustangs and imports. There are weekly meets, every Wednesday at Cabo's on 277/S 14th at 730pm. I am there when I am not working.
