The Sam's on Fry Road & I-10 has a gathering every Saturday night. Its not something I would attend but its quite a few cars.

Maybe if some LS folks would go out there I would prob go as well. It seems to be alot of ricers and people with new camaro/mustangs in the mix.

I dont have a problem driving out to a "far" meet (im in pasadena) but usually when i go out to them its just a bunch of squirrels, who want to roll race thier 12-13 second cars/trucks. Im talking about the high horse power digs, not this newish roll racing bs. i would love to go to a meet where you see a few trailers a few blocks away and cars like yours running doing wheelies and what not.

Like the old RSI meet on wed nights and the occasional grudge race on holmes, out at church on sunday mornings. those are when racing was racing, when people got their 1500hp cars to hook from a dig on bare concrete. those are what i would love too see again

I prefer dig racing more than roll racing. yah its fun leaving rubber at 80mph I used to do it but getting the same car making around 1K+ hp levels to hook from a dig on concrete thats impressive for both the driver and car. it takes more skill to drive a car out of the hole than to honk and stab the throttle from a freeway speed. plus it makes for better videos.
