Default My first trip to Commerce.........

And I was in the work van! Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet up with any of the Atlanta guys, our time was really cramped this weekend. We were hoping to find some of ya there, but didn't recognize anyone. I guess because of the rain not many f-bodies there. I sure was wishing I had my car and try out that 1/4 mile track. We WILL be making a trip back down there soon!

BTW, that was my first time to a 1/4 mile track and that was awesome! Makes our local 1/8 mile tracks look pathetic!

Should have ran the van (probably would've beat that Ford explorer)

Yeah Commerce is pretty cool. I like Friday down there, because there are more street cars. But Sat. is when the really fast cars come to play.

Lady Redhawke, you picked the one weekend all the Northside and the Southside folks went down to Silverdollar. Bad timing. Maybe next time you will have your cars with you

That's just my luck! We will be coming back down soon, I am anxious to see what my car will do on a 1/4 mile track! And would love to put faces to all these names on here too!

Your going to LOVE that 1/4 mile track, you might not want to leave, haha.

It's odd for me to even run a 1/8 mile track, I'm so use to 1/4. They are great!

Let me know when you all plan to head out there, Clint and I will have to make the trip in the cars.
