It's funny how in all Salinas, CA there are only two guys that are down to do it. This challenge is for anyone. I just want to get some races in.

Even though the odds are against me with the camaro, that race is guaranteed going to happen to show you guys that I'm down to go out there.

Why not have some cars that are at my level come out and play for some money?

here in Salinas there are cars in all leagues (imports and domestics). but we just don't know what league you are exactly in. like ace said, give us an idea of your mods and what you run and we can definately find you someone people.

we can't just simply rely on pictures and on he said/she said type stuff.

Nice to meet you dude. You guys are cool. No drama or anything involved. It was a good night. Ill hit you guys up whenever someone is willing to race you guys. We'll see what goes on with the LS1 RX7.

He was only squeezing a 100 shot. He was going to up the shot, but then the lightning puked the motor and it wasnt safe to race anymore.
