Default coming to El Paso!

so it looks like im heading back to ft bliss and i was kinda disappointed at first cause i know Desert Demons was closed in 07-08 timeframe and i was thinking id have to drive like 2 hours out of my way agian just to race for an hour or two before heading back home.

Haven't been to it but I've been wanting to. Working 2000-0400 6 days a week takes away a lot of free time but now I'm back to a normal schedule.
