I'd be interested in a summer meet but not necessarily any sort of race/drag event.

I know that BBOX, Dave, and myself are going to Logan Motorsports May 5th for a tune ("Powerfest") and then we're off to Byron Dragway. That's the plan for now at least. It's the Powerfest thread in Land of Lincoln NECO.

Sweet jesus . . . I'm just not going to have time for everything this summer . . . I don't think I want to drive three hours to race an 1/8th mile track though.

NascarSigEp · 04-16-2007, 01:45 AM

A summer meet would be great. I don't think a drag event would be so hot.

Catwoman3700 · 04-17-2007, 01:27 PM

I know some people that might be interested in bringing bikes down!! Hee hee....
Hopefully they won't tell us to

Echoman · 04-18-2007, 02:58 PM

I'd be down for something Omaha/Lincoln/Des Moines/Suoix City based. Kearney is way to far for me.
