More seriously does anyone know someone in the area they would trust to set up their rear end?
From what I can tell, I would go with either Andy @ Autosport, or Jon @ Slim's (2568814449)

If anybody knows or catches wind of a person selling my things, PM me.
Ever catch anyone?

Beware of these low life bastards that would rather steal than make an honest living
I hate to hear that, but at least it's not like NOLA, where the whole car just disappears.

Safe is a relative term. In hard times, a lot of people are more desperate to make a quick buck. There's no excuse for vandalism and criminal behavior, but it's not just a Huntsville thing. It's rampant everywhere.

HSVRACING and ars.net usually have some get togethers. hsvracing is an interesting crowd.

It's nice to see someone who can multi quote instead of having to read 8 posts with one quote each in it. I've decided I've had a nice car long enough and it's time to ruin it. I put the $80 ebay manifold and a billet 71 T4 to see if the turbo could would touch the engine or not. Rod bolts and head studs have arrived. Still a few things on the list.

thoughts and prayers for everyone who was affected.

Hazel Green here (north of Huntsvile), Id also like to say I hope everyone near is keeping their faith and just praying for the ones who lost everything. Im one of the fortunate ones whom wasnt affected, but myself and my family are praying for our neighboring Harvest and all other affected areas. Not that its crucial or important by comparison either, but I was also wondering about the track how it fared? God bless, guys.

So anyone go to steele this past friday? wtf is up with Steele's trap speed? Seems like I never got an accurate trap all night long on any of the cars we had up there. My dads stand kept getting wacky numbers and so did I.

I remember them having plenty of problems in the past with the timing equipment but they usually fixed it the same night.

I took my 2000 SS to the track today and played around some N/A. The car ran pretty well, real sluggish out of the hole due to the 3.42 gears but should run perfect when I spray it. Here is a video of a pass
