They probably will be since I don't think they closed like they said they were going to. The track is okay, just the boards don't work half the time, or the tree doesn't work, last few times I was there its been a waste of time, nothing worked right and they get the box too wet you almost burn out into the wall even when you "try" to go around the water.


Anyways maybe we can all meet up one friday night for T&T.

Hey guys, Blount county here. Hey Vann, I met you a couple of times at steele...finally took the v-6 deep in the 13's, but I need a little more power. Working on an engine swap now (or at least rounding up parts with not much luck). Anyway, I'm gonna try to get to Montgomery sometime to run before the swap...Let me know when a bunch of you guys are heading down there and I'll round up some of the local f-bodies and get down that way.

Whats up man, congrats on the 13's. What kind of parts are you looking for? More than likely you can find them in the for sale section. Maybe I can get the trans back in my car before this cold weather ends. I would like to hit that 10.90 mark.

Thanks, yeah I've been on here about twice a day looking for parts. I had been looking for a wrecked car to swap everything, but that isnt working out too well. I've been buying parts here and there, but I still need a motor and trans. I'm going from 3.8 A4 to a ls1 m6. Surely the Z will hit 10's...I know you came close a few nights I was at the track. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

I called the number to the track awhile back and all the rain we had must have messed up the repairs they recently finished, although I haven't been by to check or anything. As warm as it's been the past few days and being cold at night, would be perfect to be out racing. I guess most of the tracks will be closing soon if they aren't already though.

I went to steele's website today and Denise from there had posted on their forum that a contracting company had came and looked at the damage last week.... so that means they haven't even started fixing it yet.
