Probably not any time soon.

I just wanted to check that show out, and decided to spice it up by running my Grand Am ~ and I had alot of fun too ~ meeting up with you guys was just the icing on the cake...

I got married in 2014, and we're expecting next month ~ So getting my Firebird rebuilt aside, I'm guessing it will be some time before I can venture out to the "mid-west" again...

A couple years before the Pontaic Nationals, I attended the Trans Am Nationals in Dayton ~ that time I drove a Firebird there...

But I aspire to get my '70 Formula done, and go here;

... and I'll be doing my Firebird to adhere to their rules.

Are there any events held at Castrol that you guys (or the Edmonton branch of Iron Indians) attend?
I last went to Castrol on July long 2012... and I've ben itching to go again...
unfortunately it was with a more recently purchased 'wrong-wheel-drive' car
Actually Guidos was there with his G8 (I had met him even before I started going on the internet) - I borke into the 13's that night and was pretty proud of that fact, but he did even better - he was 1/2-3/4 of a second faster than me...
oh well.

Man do I miss Race City - it might have sucked near the end, but at least it was a quarter mile track that wasn't three hours away!
