Cool. I only know of 2 or 3 in the Des Moines area. I hope to have my GN on the road in the next month or so. Maybe I'll have to take a trip or two to find the rest of the COOL people out there.

My local track is Mid America Motorplex in Pacific Junction, Ia. Exit 35 on I-29 south. It is an 1/8th mile track and we are there almost every weekend.

I live in Pella about an hour from you. I do most of my work in Des Moines and I'm there about three days a week. There are some guys in Grinnel as well. Eddyville and Newton both have 1/8 strips often open on Friday nights for test and tune. I would interested in seeing your project some time.

I think you need to get a boat and sail there. My home is fine but some of my rentals are not so good.

D.Phillips you should join us Eddyville some night. There were three of us there last night. We had a lot of fun. Jose may have his new set up ready! It will be scary fast.

I'm probably a month or so from my first drive/ride in a TR. Never been in one. So, I am really looking forward to it. I have been working on my GN for two years now, and it's almost done!! I would like to check out your TR some time...I've loved these cars since I was 14.

Sorry for the last minute notice but myself and two other members will be at Eddyville Raceway Friday night 6-20-07. Jose is planning on bringing his gn. He runs high 6’s – low 7’s on an unopened stock block. You must see to believe. If you have time come join us it will be fun.
