Default Coming home...

As some of ya know I've been here in Iraq since July. Well I'm supposed to be flying back sometime around the 27th for my 18 days of leave. It looks like Fontana's not gonna be open, so just Irwindale and Perris? First day I'm home I'm throwing the 9", PST DS, and some BMR and QA1 **** under it, then I'm gonna put 500 easy break in miles before we take it out. Here's the last racing I got on video...

that sucks... they still have it up on their website, ********!

Irwindale pretty crowded lately? I think when I used to go like 2 years ago it was maybe 4-5 runs per night, but that's when everywhere else was open too. Can't remember winter time tho.

Lol ****** David man, how's the baseball coming? I'm surprised you're still in So Cal. Any big meets planned from the last of january to mid feb? I'm probably going to get a tune when I come home, I've been saying that **** for a year now but I'm leaving Carson so the altitude's not an issue anymore. I know it has a lot in it, and I have to get the nitrous tuned as well. Does Tim (nimr0d) still post up here, he's got a 30th Ann. Z28?

i was looking at 65-66 el camino's... but my car has come too far and I like it too much to sell. I've put 30k miles on it and it's only died on me once and that was when I burned out the ICM 2 years ago at Perris. I got 24 mpg making a round trip to Colorado and back too. Plus I don't have the money or time to truly restore a classic car lol
