Its like that here now. Its worse as you get closer to the coast, but up in the hills a lot of people don't even have AC units, just don't need them. Mid June through September is rough, but the rest of the year stays very mild, averaging in the 70s. Track usually closes January and Feb, and is open the rest of winter as long as its at least 50 degrees (usually is).

Explosive, check out the Raleigh area. Its bringing in thousands of people from all over due to the job market. Hardly anybody is a NC native in this area anymore, lol.

We'd have to go again. He said he thought for sure he'd lost then way up top he just pulled. I killed the g8 nicely from the roll. My car runs awesome from 30

Good run, surprised he didn't hold you off better up top though. You're Mach is surprisingly quick though, eager to see what she does at the track.

I would agree with that set up. Then you can launch that sumbitch!

I'd stick with a 26" tire. 28 is a lot of tire. Will drop that gear ratio way down too.
