El Paso Motorplex is new. The season opens in Feb again(may not close)but we're still racing down here. Shootout in November and i think there is one in December.
Hey SSAuto, we did go down to San Antonio to race with you all. That was a fun weekend. We were all in love with the elevation then dissapointed to come back, lol.
Our forum doesn't get traffic like LS1tech or anything but it gets going sometimes. Just post and we'll make it interesting.
Our events are always posted on our board but we ALL hangout together even if it isn't car related. Parties whatever. We always have a good time together.
So hit us up at http://www.fbodyelpaso.org Sign up and post in the new members section.
I am the board mod on there, I am 85IrocZ.
Also feel free to pm me here on tech or email me.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing from all you guys. Be good to see more f-cars in the area.
Paul

No idea why it is not letting you in 96, I saw you registered the other day under 02ceta, 325 just posted up today, thanks for stopping in troop, try it again, if it doesn't let you, I'll ask the creator of the board to look into it.
Hahaha, yellow huh, just tell Clint, Preston and some of the others that, lol.
