This is just a thought and it's probably not what everybody wants but how about a meet at the California Speedway? Again just a thought.

If we would be allowed to set up some sort of fun games to play (small auto X course, or a short drag line??), I'd definitely be into the speedway. If there is a chance to get my E out on the big track, then HECK yes I'm in. Just tell me when and how much!!

Hey perv, I mean perz... I may could drop you a ride, depending on where you are and if no other MB peeples will get you!

Speedway runs about 14K a day to open the doors, then there is all the safety, medical, and clean-up expense. All that said, without full race equipment, you might not get on the "real" track, but I have seen some cones set up in the parking lot for very speed limited time trials.

Bah, I posted a pic a couple years back. Here's one from December after I had just pulled the intake manifold on my boyfriends bmw before a sc install. If this doesn't scare you away, I don't know what will.

If you meant that I work on cars, then yes, I do. I did a complete motor swap, transmission swap, drivetrain swap etc on my blue car. I also worked for a few days alone on my boyfriends supercharger install before he made it back down to SD. I'll most likely be doing the clutch and rebuilding the top end on my 325i this summer. Oh joy.

If there hasn't been a place chosen..How about...

What do you guys think?
