I live in minden which is about 25min west of you. There's the red river raceway in gilam, la which is about 45min from minden. From what I've heard there's not much going on in Ruston, but in shreveport and bossier there are alot of f-body's and mustangs. Lot of mustangs in minden including my wife. I work nights but if you want to meet up sometime it's nothing for me to get off a night. I'll show you to the dragstrip. I have yet to run mine because of work and still doing mods.

I used to live in Ruston for a couple years.. Absolutely dead F-body wise...

I used to drive all the way to Monroe looking for trouble but that place (and Pecanland Mall) is boring too.
