Yeah, I know that we dont have a lot of areas that we can rely on down here. Once you get the PM, let me know. Ill bring my black and white striped ref shirt and a whistle.

I have some ideas but as gE63 mentioned much earlier it will take some time due to getting off and back on the freeways/roads. Either way it should be a good time with the loser buying all the beer for the winner and ref

I wanna ref with you? I know both Sean and Arjang, and I gotta see this go down. They both have good driving skills with a temper to match. LOL It's a race match made in heaven.

Then we can ditch them and go race. I will buy you a pitcher after!

Oh Jangy's gonna like that comment- I am not sure how strong his car is but I hear good things --- since we are doing rolling runs its all about trap speeds ...

Benzgal, this is a one ref event. 2 men enter, 1 man leaves. Bust a deal, spin the wheel .... Welcome to Thunderdome:

That whistling hose wouldn't be a Twin Turbo now would it
Thanks for the compliments bro!~ I bet your black on black Vette looks sweet.

LACR is a 1/4 mile track, I say bring your Vette out and have some fun!~ It should take you about 45min-1hr to get there from the immediate LA area, given traffic conditions aren't too bad. I know a lot of Vettes and similar cars are out there for the street legal drag thingys...

Here's a short excerpt from LACR's website which includes their address and phone number just incase you want to go.

"Los Angeles County Raceway is an NHRA 1/4 Mile Championship Drag Strip and International MOTO Cross Track.LACR is located at 6850 East Avenue T, Palmdale, CA. (93550).
LACR is 45 minutes from the San Fernando Valley just off the Antelope Valley freeway on Palmdale's Eastside.
From Los Angeles take the 5 Frwy. North to the 14 Frwy. North (Antelope Valley Frwy.) get off at Pearblossom Hwy. take it til it crosses 138 it will turn into East Avenue T, LACR is one mile down Avenue T on the right hand side. LACR Information: (661) 533-2224"

Were on the same page, I actually live in SB, but travel to LA about 1-2 times a month, so LACR in Palmdale is about 3-4 hrs away...
