Default Anyone in modesto or near?

I am moving to keyes and I was wondering if there was a racing scene down there. And if there is any good shops.

I live in a small town called Planada, outside just south of Merced and I work in Livingston just south of Turlock. I'm around and about sometimes. There is not a shortage of fbodies or gm powered muscle around here. However, a lot of the ones that I've seen are weekend cars.

Sad to say there is not that many fast muscle cars around there. I went out there with my car about a year while visiting family. There wasn't anything that night. I know the muscle that they do have, usually go to Tracy to race.

Hawk...Im in Turlock all the time, never noticed you car, very nice man. And there is a decent racing scene you just need to find the right people to hang with, there are definitely a lot of ricers up here. Were always out in Modesto usually just in a parking lot kicking back, if your around you'll see a few Cobras, GT's FBody's etc.
