Darlington only has test-n-tune on wednesday night, which I couldn't do either. Carolina Dragway (Aiken) has test-n-tune on Thursday and Saturday, either of which works a lot better for me.

Yea. I hate goin down that road to get there but I'm always down to go. I drove the T/A to work today though and the p/s pump took a massive dump on me so I gotta get that fixed first.

haha last time I went I told the lady that's always at the entrance that I'd give her and extra $20 if she got the road paved. She just laughed and said she wanted to pave it but it would cost tens of thousands of dollars.

I'm leaning towards Darlington, but we can see where everyone is coming from and try to find the best mid way point. I think it would be cool to get 30-40 cars out there between ls1tech members and guys that we know.

I can do most saturdays also. I just get off work late in the afternoon sometimes so that decides where I can go. I may make a trip to midlands in the next 2 weeks or so, then we can all get a good date picked out for darlington. Anyone that wants to go to midlands is more than welcome to come.

I'll definitely roll out to midlands on like a Friday night, probably won't run though. I've run there a lot but I haven't run the 1/4 yet so I'm really lookin to hit Darlington, even if there's just a group of like 3 of us.
