Hey all,

Steve wanted me to get these full sizes up, cuz cell phone screens just don't cut it. Special thanks to Hilton for understanding my current situation and still making this possible. C6 Corvette wheels in gunmetal. Comments?

It definately looks better than it did, but maybe it's the lighting or the camera that has it looking so so. Get some better lighting and some more pics. Did you wash it? We all know how you very seldom wash that thing lol.

^^^is that the soonest they are gonna open or is that the first big event? JD sounds like you are hit the track hard when it opens. i may be doing some heads at the first of the year i dont know yet. im really thinking of saving the money so i can make it to a few meets at the track and when something breaks i will have money on hand to fix it right away.

Check out the date May 9th. Track should open in early March. It is getting resurfaced and many many updates before it is opened. My source tells me the new owner, Ray White, (also owns Royal Purple Oils) is spending $250,000 on upgrades that are everything from new bleacher, to building a family center to fixing the bathrooms and replacing all electronics and redoing the concession area with plans to sell homemade foods and they are redoing the tower. They said some homeless people moved in and wrecked the place.

Do the drivers & fans right, put on a good show, advertise, and serve good food. That would be a start, and then again the guys & gals that like the sport need to show up. As soon as we (EFI Racing) can have a meeting with the manager we will pledge our support.
