I'm seeing what the Weather does..I want to bring the Camaro down but if it's shitty I might not go and chill at the house with my girl.

If the road condition gets better tomorrow (DRY), I'll be there.

Looks like Nik and I will be working so we won't be able to make it. Good luck and have fun. If there's a way to sign without acutally being there, I'm all for it.

WTF with this meet? I went there granted a little later but I couldn't get in. There were still quite a few cars at the lanes so I know it wasn't close. GL with you guys. BTW, signs to where this place is at would be helpful for non locals.

We saw you driving around. I asked Chy if he had your #. Sorry you couldnt find the way in. It was a street down. When you pulled out off Airplane DR, I thought you turned left. I didnt know you left.

Straight from Airnav.com the Runway is 3,980 ft long. so it is plenty big for a 1/4 mile. with plenty of braking area and burnout box room. plus it already has taxiways to drive back to the start too.
