Just got my Lightning last week, I'm in Austin too.

I'm very tempted to go, but I'll have to see if I can scrape up the $$$$ it's gonna take. That's a long drive for a big thirsty truck.

I'll let you know for sure thurs night in this thread.

I'm out of the racing scene for probably a couple months. I just puked oil out of a hole in my block Friday night at SAR.

If I hadn't run last week I could have put on that same show for you guys this Friday (I was going to run last week or wait til this week).

There are usually a handful of SA racers though. I'm sure Red02 and a few other will chime in.

Herb

we will meet in the academy parking lot at william cannon and I35 about 5 or so then leave around 530. we have a pack of cars going down i35 so people that dont know how to get there dont get lost. otherwise if you know how to get there you can just meet us there. it doesnt cost alot. doesnt take much gas. 15 bucks to get in and race as many times as you can. Where is this car show at? we might go.

Yeah, I've been down there a bunch in my Focus before, it's just that I'll need a $50 tank of gas on top of the $15 gate in order to pull it off. I get 15mpg tops.

I'll probably go either way, who am I kidding.

ya that pressure is always there. my freinds tell me to take them off roading after i clean my truck and i say no way but it always ends up happening. can you meet us at william cannon and I35. its always a fun drive down there considering you have alot of cars to mess around with. I dont think we will make that car show sorry, sounds fun. post some pics of it. We will video tape the who thing at the track and post it on the internet after we make a nice video out of it.

Bootbox, did I see your truck Saturday at HEB in CedarP?

I'd go for sure if the temps got colder, we usually leave Austin in order to make it to the gates as the open at SAR.

Yeah, I was at HEB sat picking up some BBQ stuff. Didn't see your truck though, hoping to meet you this week at the 1431 and Parmer meet.

i was in my other truck, maroon ranger with "austinsvt.com" sticker on the back glass.

If weather holds off there should be a good turn out at 1431.

Stay tuned for SVT's only show on May 14th in austin, info coming soon.

Got my tracking info for my mods today, I was hoping to have the stuff on the truck by friday but none of it will be here until friday after work so it'll have to wait. I don't really want to go down unmodded.

Next time for sure though, have fun.
