YOu guys should have totally come out on sunday. It was so nice out and our IS's were basically the fastest cars out there.

This friday it's 15.00 instead of 10.00 like on sundays. It's between 6-10. I wont be able to make it till around 8. It's going to be cold as **** too so bring some warm *** clothes. Sundays are usually the better day to go, but this sunday I am going to six flags. Friday nights get crazy with all the gangsters and that type betting. It's funny as hell. Lots of motorcycles too, but I think the cold weather is going to keep a lot of people away. Also, it will help our cars run faster. I will call the track tomorrow and make sure street cars are cool on this fun&Grudge thingy. I am 99% sure it is.

Here's a link to the site.

Ha, I am even going to let my girlfriend race my IS. Don't let her beat you guys cuz she can drive.

If you guys come out I can walk you thru the steps to race. It's easy man.

There is no reason not to run your car. It's the same price always regardless if you want to race or not, so you might as well race. It's totally fun, and people don't mess with you or anything. I am going to try to post some video from this last sunday, if I can find a good app that will make my avi files under 100mb for youtube

Yea man I haven't ever run a car at the track but it seems mostly self explainatory.. I'm sure pointers would help tho, I don't wanna go out there and it be all blown and badass cars and ours be the slowest ones, that'd suck lol.. Anyways I most likely will come out seeing how it's 10 mins away so no big deal

yea i live in arlington so it's real close to me also. 10min maybe. OH dude, there are cars that run in the 6's out there, but they come in on trailers. Even the stuff that looks crazy fast usually isn't. 8's out there is totally good, and people wont talk **** about that. Your car will run in the 8's for sure. 9 is even good. Trust me we are faster then stock mustangs and you see a ton of those out there. You even see people in stock corollas out there. You can race whatever you want. Don't be worried.

Alright man, you talked me into it.. I'm coming assuming this weather about to come in doesn't create a problem. We gotta figure out a meeting location or way of finding each other so to speak.. Is Javier coming too?

Hey, I have to go to austin this friday for work, and also the weather is ****. If i don't go to six flags on sunday then I will go to the races. Check back here on sat, to see. You can also PM me.

As far as meeting up out there, it's not that big. We will be the only IS"s out there too. Everything else is either a mustang, or camero..

Javier, lives on the far side of dallas so not sure if he will come out.

anyways if i go this weekend it will be on sunday. Friday nights are fun though in good weather.

Haha, Javier probably won't be coming, considering the road will probably be frozen over...

Oh, and get ready for the announcer guy to call your car a "Honda." When combfilter and I were staging for our runs, the anouncer repeatedly referred to our cars as "the Hondas." I guess he had never seen anybody run Lexus' before
