**** snow!!

This happened earlier tonight in franklin on Arno Rd. definatley wont be rollin up in an 8 tomorrow night if i go at all.
I was creeping up a hill right when it started snowing and wheels started spinning so i coasted to the bottom of the hill and while i was turning around here comes a 97 bonnaville skiiding at about 30 cant stop and plows into me and continues into a ditch after taking out a mailbox. not a good night at all

(damaged items from what i can see and feel)
1 OEM fender
1 OEM front bumper with mazdaspeed ground effects
1 clear cornering light
1 OEM headlight
tire rods were destroyed somehow so i had absolutley no steering which made hitching up to the tow truck difficult
possibly other driver side suspension components

needless to say i am less than happy about this happening so here are the pics of my baby on the tow truck before leaving

Cost will be $175.00 Drivers will receive a lunch ticket at the driver meeting. Gate fee will be $5 for spectators. Lunch tickets will be available for purchase for spectators for a minimum fee.

We are going to limit track day to 40 spots. 4 groups of 10. We will furnish lunch (pizza & Soft Drinks). If you don't like pizza and soft drinks we would be glad to point you in the direction of Murfreesboro.

This is non-refundable! However if you decide not to go, we will try to sell your spot if possible.

well I'm staying at the Microtel about 15 min away. several of the Florida guys are staying there too. It'll run you about $71 a night minus a 10% discount for telling them your with the "rotary car club".

so like $230 - 10%
