I'm originally from Missoula but I live in Vancouver WA now. I think Code4 is from Kalispell. He shows up here once in awhile...... Not many Montanan's on here.

Welcome aboard though...

I'm pretty sure that the total number of members from Montana counting you & I, would be 2. I live about an hour from Kalispell. I was just in Great Falls a week ago picking up a toyota engine for my 4runner project. We are planning a trip to Cut Bank this summer with the local club. Supposedly the city is going to shut down part of the hwy for 1/8 mile runs with a tree & possibly a timer. If you are interested I'll keep ya posted. Welcome to the site.

Cool man. I'll probably slip into Montana in early-August right after I graduate. Plan of attack is to hit up Holter and Flathead lakes, and drink our socks off!

Did I just hear some one else is from G-Town? I now live in Bremerton, WA but I am from Great Falls. All of my family still lives there, graduated from GFHS in 99. You graduated in 03 from CMR, my cousin graduated in 04 from CMR (Joey Zahara). I had to leave to find a decent paying job after getting my Mechanical Engineering degree from MSU. I'm actually heading there this weekend...

I live down in Bozeman. Not much of a car scene anywhere around here from what I can tell. Have lived here since March of 2007.

One in Billings, one in Anaconda (1/8 mi) & one in lewistown. All more than 7 hours from me.

We also race at cut bank, helena, & Malta, once a year. These races are a blast. We find some asphalt somewhere, usually an old airport, & line them up. No track or track prep. Pure king of the hill grudge racing.
