BTW if anyone is interested, I think im headed out to the track in sealy this friday with my roommates (Cts-v & gto) and our neighbors with the s r t 4 and vette so if anyone wants to roll out there with us we will probably be leaving CS around 6:20. None of us have ever been to the track before so we are probably going to make asses out of ourselves but it should be a good time!
