Default Irwindale
I'm going to irwindale this Thursday. Anyone else going? Would like to see some fast ls1's to play with or any muscle cars for that matter. I've posted this same tread in dodge forums and Camaro5 forums and have not got a single bite. Is it not cool to drag race anymore? Hopefully the ls1 family is still into it.

I was just looking to see more muscle cars out there.

I knew f-bodies would represent

I heard about LSX shoot out after it was over, lol. I have seen a CTS V out there too. It was very quick and beautiful.

Let me know when your car is done and we could have some fun at the strip
