I was hoping to go to Tri-state near Hamilton when the weather warms back up. Kil care and edgwater always seem too busy for me. 3 am going south on I-71 between the two Lebanon exits is good as well. You can see a couple miles down the road for cops and it's a nice straight shot for a few miles if you give a minute for traffic to clear.:D

not to deter you from setting up a drag race meet of sorts, but there are plenty of 20fters that attend CJ, including my own.

set up your drag meet, AND go to CJ!  :burnout:

I was not serious about racing on I-71 by the way, it's just a good spot for finding your top end. If I go to CatJam, we should hook up, since I know a few of us will try to caravan on the way.

Ed, aka 1FSTCAT lives in Norwood, and he may be interested as well. He has about 400 hp at the flywheel, in an 87' 5 spd w/supercharger. I'm only running about 325 hp w/5 spd. I need to buy some drag radials for it before as well so I can hook up next time.

I have been on this board for 6 years and this is the FIRST Time that anyone has suggested meeting up for some drag racing....and hell I now live 100000 miles away. T-Bird is in storage for the next two years until I return to the states for another tour. Good luck fellas with coordinating some drag racing (Heads Up, I hope) if you can get enough takers.
