There's a fun street scene in Lubbock, check out www.racelubbock.com for all the GTG information and such. Actually, there's a good sized GTG planned for August 19th, would be cool to see you and some other new faces there!

Take a walk on Texas Tech's awesome campus and you'll see some of the finer things in Lubbock The car scene here is decent for the size of the town, especially when school is in....we have regular GTG's and cruises and there are two 1/4 mile tracks within 30 minutes of lubbock

I like the laid back nature of this city, the people here are extremely nice and after one semester at Tech you'll have more friends than you'll know what to deal with
