Sorry for the late arrival on my part but welcome to TX man! I'm in the North Austin area, haven't been to the track yet but I have hung out with a few people here and it's a lot of fun. I work a ton and I am going to college so I don't have a lot of time to hang out but it's cool when I can. Again, welcome!

huge word of advice for a fellow soldier stay the hell away from a shop called Sunshine performance unless you want to pay out the rear for silly crap and horrible tunes. example 1200 bucks for a roll cage that is not NHRA approved when you can buy the whole 8=point off jegs for around 500 and still NHRA approved. and the car scene down here is constantly moving, on fridays so far i seen everyone meet up on the side of the theater but that was about 2 months ago. god knows that it has probably moved to another location

Welcome to the Great Place! lol. Yeah the car meets used to meet every Friday by Academy, then they moved to Dick's, now I have seen them over by the theater. Just cruise around till you find some cars on a Friday. And if you do not already own one, buy a gun if you end up on Rancier at any point in time lol.

Thanks for the heads up, thankfully I do all my own tuning and fab work. I just need to find a dyno that will let me rent time for a decent price.
