and yes, i think we have all razzed him in person about the taillights and exhaust, but he still seems to like them. all the local ricers love that car. should run quite a bit better this year from what i hear

Re: South Bend, Indiana

most people around South Bend always run at Osceola, but US41 is by far mine and some of my buddies' preferred track even though its 2 hours away and OC is 15 minutes away. if you havent heard, Papa Norm (owner of US41) passed away last week. current word is that his son will be running the track this year and operation will continue as normal. im personally not a big fan of his son and the way he runs things when he is in control of the track, but at least the track will stay open with the normal schedule. Papa Norm was a good guy

Re: South Bend, Indiana

wow, i didnt hear that norm passed away. Thats sad, he was a good guy, met him a few times while there. Atleast they will keep the track up and running. There was some sort of word going on that lingenfelter's son was going to buy out the track...

I'm not sure if thats the exact name, but there is a Michiana area f-body club...you can register over across from Walmart on CR6 at that car part shop (dunno the name).

Why are car clubs gay? I've never been in one so I dunno, but they all seem to have a lot of fun.

Clubs with stupid names like the ricers do is gay, but it's always fun to have a group of guys to hang out with. There is a group of us that hang out a lot, lots of fun, we just don't consider ourselves a "club"

Re: South Bend, Indiana

yes, street racing is bad . you should especially never endanger liter bike riders by challenging them

speaking of that Greg, when yours and Jons cars are done im game for some rematches on the RR if you want. still need to run Nutsmack too. looks like thats the only kind of racing ill be doing this year

Re: South Bend, Indiana

In the group of us five or so that usually hang out, I am BY FAR the slowest. I have ported LT1 heads and a ported LT1 intake, hotcam, bolt ons and an xpipe.

Re: South Bend, Indiana

You know me all too well Darren... So do I get to pilot your bike and YOU drive my car this time? By the way, did your new bowling ball come in yet? Also, when does my pile get to come over and go under Dr. Darrens surgical knife
