They worked fine for me in Windows Media player

Looks like you guys had fun and the Car sounds Great!

We used to take my V6 out there and play in the cones..what a blast that was...the only thing we didn't like about it was that you have to pay $20something to run and if you run in the morning you have to stay through the afternoon runs and be a track worker..and visa versa...so even if your done racing by 10 or 12 am, you still have to stay there till 7-8 pm working the track...that made for some long hot boring days so we kind of shied away from that...

I had an open Cutout with a QTec. I still have the stock exhaust manifolds and cats on there so it dosent sound like completely open headers.

How often do they do this, and how much does it cost to run? I think this would be really fun, even if you weren't driving a fast car. Is there a schedule somewhere for events like this?

Default Looks like it was fun

This reminds me of a PS2 game I have, called "Stuntman." I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I should move to Washington, closer to where all the cool stuff happens.... nah, Oregon is home, I grew up here.
Thanks for sharing the vids.
