No thanks, not for that price. Plenty of other fish to catch for that money.

I'm interested to see how they fit. I know a guy w/ a 370 has status seats with brackets, but he had to bolt them right to the floor with no sliders because it actual rose the seat up too much? Very sick seats indeed

Thanks for hosting the party Dave, it was a great time and the food was delicious. I think my favorite part of the drive was when we left the golf course and took the twisty road to Shakopee.

So Im not sure if everyone has heard yet but Raceway Park in Shakopee had announced they were closing as of Sept 1st. Well a little birdie told me that recently Mystic Lake/Canterbury Downs has decided to purchase the track and are currently planning on renovating the track and grandstands. Now here's where the good part comes, they want to increase the use of the track and are looking at new ideas to bring to the track. Word is one thing they are considering as an improvement is to add a 1/4 mile drag strip to the area. Obviously this isn't official but it's in serious consideration right now and they acknowledge that this would bring a lot of money and activity to the track. So keep your fingers crossed that it happens and we could have a real drag strip so close to home.

I hope it is lol, the source is reliable for "other news" usually. Im not sure what hoops they would have to go through to make it work, zoning? Do they already own enough land? Cant imagine noise will be a problem since they already race really loud cars there. Insurance cant be much more for a track that runs weakly figure 8 derby crash races lol.

Sorry Dave, I meant to close/edit that thread. I brought up the date with a bunch of the guys, and BIG SURPRISE, but they checked w/ their wives AFTER telling me the date was good to go, and they have plans that saturday night for dinner.

Working on another date, possibly the Saturday before (24th). Mike is checking if he can get off work that short notice at his 2nd job.

Okay then....

Don't know if I'll be up for it since I'll just be getting back from the Canadian border. Tara may not want to ride with me after that little trip...
