Just let me know when you all can make it down and I'll head out to the track :) The more CZ28.com members the better! I should be able to get a few more F-body guys to head out there as well.

As of right now it looks like it's going to be partly cloudy on Friday... any of you guys want to come out to Elk Creek this week (8/27/04)? Not sure if I'll be able to run or not but it'd be cool to meet up with even more CZ28.com members. I may even get a couple of 'stang guys from NC to come up for the show :D
