Ya i feel your pain, i am from Middleboro, but most of the races i have had have been somewhere on the 44 strip, either in Taunton or Raynham. Mostly stangs and what not, once and awhile i would run into something more interesting, but when i got really desperate i would go down to Newbedford, there is always tons of stuff down there and i hear the F-body crowd is growing

I do go up, but its just funny that when I cruise in the buick I run into vettes, vipers, stangs, fbodies. When I'm in the camaro I run into imports mostly. Strange.

ATTA BOY! TNTHUB. Take it to the track. Street racing is dangerous never mind someone can get hurt or even worse killed. Just my .02. I will admit that I have street raced before. But no longer do it.

A probe GT tried to run me on the way to the strip yesterday! I held back but my hand was itching to downshift into 4th! I know what you mean about never finding anyone though, all I see are ricers and stangs, I saw a Rousch a few times but when I learned they were only GT's I finally saw him on 495 and smacked him down to where he belonged.

Check out the Berlin TPKE, in weathersfield. Lots of f-bodies and mustangs. Some high end stangs, saleen's, 03 cobra's.

MorganSS I know what you mean about the Rouch. There is one in my town that is a v-6. Lame.

Haha. My exhaust leak might be hurting me I am actually not running up to par right now. I got exhaust leak, broken tranny mount, header vibrates slightly against kmember, rockers loosened up on driver's side (real noisey), and my TB sticks occasionally @ 1500rpm. I bet I am getting false knock like crazy! Maybe if you bring your 50-75 jets we can run, but anything higher and you should eat me. I amprobbaly only making 380rwhp as it sits. Fixing those problems and a real tune should get me close to 400rwhp.
