yep, failure on that road does have a price, much like Lime Creek lol


so Twink, wanna' trade commutes for a while?

I know where you live!!! Metric/ Lamplight. Don't worry I'm not stalking you. I was driving a gray several cars behind you on metric. There's not many white 8s with Jersey plates. Of course there's a white with Chicago plates down my neighborhood.

Another good route:
Mopac - 2222 - 360 - 2244 - 71 - Hamilton Pool road - RR301 - ends at 281. Turn around and repeat. At 301 watch out for low water crossings, cattle guards, and livestock.

by the time i get my act together and get texas plates my distinguishing feature will be there 9.5" wide black RPF1s.

On a side note, Im a little disappointed with how popular black wheels are down here, i was one of very few back east and it seems that everyone here has them.

I still cant wait to start meeting group members and hopefully networking. The little woman and I arent bored of each other or anything, we are just looking forwarded to start making some tx friends.

PM me your number and delete it from the forum...better way to prevent internet prank calls...

We are going to be meeting up tonight at the Gingerbread Man downtown at approximately 6ish...then arriving at the track no later than 6:45...track goes hot at 7pm...

First timers is 30 bucks I think...after that its 50 bucks...

The group is composed of other track ****** (instructors, hobbists, former drivers, current drivers). We use the rental karts because it equalizes the playing field and at that point becomes a driver skill thing. The competition is fierce and its no holds barred racing when we hit the track. It's all in good fun, and only for bragging rights...I've only broken both thumbs so far...so its not that bad...heh
