yeah, well she probably would, cause she enjoys driving my 240, but the problem is she lives 2 hrs away near ISU where i went to school so i will have to come to the next meet, since i have to make an appearance down there this weekend. keep me advised if anything comes up after this weekend and i will be there, thanks matt.

thedriven.org meets at busse wood religiously, so whenever they get around to updating their website, it'll be on there. I check the forums every once in a while, and also clubfr.net has post-ups of almost every local meet. when i know of anything, i'll start a running post of events on this forum
