Hi I am in Memphis also.

What kind of car do you have? Race much?

Tonight I am going to Memphis Motorsports and see what my GTO can do.

The Navy headquarters BUPERS is there at Millington (moved from DC). It's been an Air Station for years though. I went through there when I joined in '91.

I live close to Millington myself. Millington is a growing community with all kinds of places popping up out there. I live off HWY 51 about 10 miles from Walmart in Millington.

My 2001 Z28 automatic with crappy 2.73 gears ran 12.90s consistant...mods were Pacesetter headers, SLP lid, and a tune. These cars are cheap and easy to make fast.

If you ever need some automotive help, just shoot a message my way!

That's good stuff. I would be broke living close to the Track cause I would be going there just about every night for T/T, and paying for the stuff that broke on the Car..
