I like Firebird because it is closer and is a nicer track setup... although prep for open nights is hit or miss. I go to both the Pavillions and 83RD hangout spots on occasion.

1996 Purple Firehawk M6 #38 of 41, all SLP options, SLP shorty headers, random tech dual cat y-pipe, BFT SFC, Eaton posi, 4.10, Spoh LCA, Hotchkis PHB, Baer Track kit.
2000 Black Firehawk T/A #127 of 741, 39k miles, lumpy spoiler, SLP Bilstein, M6, whisper lid, smooth bellow, Pro50, Moser 12 bolt, 33 spline axles, Detroit TT, 3.73, XX DS, !EGR, UMI SFC's, QTP LT's, x-pipe & TD's

I'm in AZ and don't run at the track much anymore. When I did, I liked Speedworld.

Well at least I know there is a few people around. Well i got a 68 Camaro that currently has a 350, it'll get replaced with an LS2 when I'm able to afford the engine.

I live in Scottsdale so both of the tracks are a pretty far drive for me.
But I do hit the pavilions once a month... there aren't usually many F-body's there.
I used to cruise Bell rd. on the west side of town but that just got over run by ricers.

About the Pav's yeah there isnt alot of F-bodies, I actually have never taken my car there 1. I just bought it on leave from the sand box 2. Its not street legal. Also i hate 90% of the ricers some arn't bad. While I was there I remember one kid I just wanted to strangle, he was a proud 23 year old high school drop out, living with his mom, with his honda that had nothing but intake exhaust and some wheels and had the ***** to make fun of a friend of mines 600WHP tiburon.

I'm really looking forward to getting my hands dirty when I get home, I know my car needs a good cleaning i got a lot of plans for it, new sub frame, paint, interior, wheels, body, just lots of stuff.

I'm in the West Valley and I'm usually @ 91st & Northern on Friday's and @ 83rd on Saturday's.
I prefer Speedworld over Firebird. More American muscle, less rice fart cans. Also, it's more
of an at home feeling, unlike Firebird where you're sitting a 1/4 mile back from the track.

www.ArizonaCamaros.net is having a BBQ cruise on the 26th, 12 noon @ Papago park...
if you have a Camaro.
