I know there are a few. Anyone live in the Tennesse area near Illinois too?

I live in Paducah. I plan to take my 3rd gen to I-57 dragstrip on Saturday. Have you ever been there? I wonder if it hooks well.

I went to it with another member back in September, but the track was closed due to rain out. I have no desire to run my car because it is only 1/8 mile. I guess some track is better than no track.


I sort of live in Carbondale. I live in the dorms at SIU so I am here until May 10. I'll be getting my own place next year so I will live in Carbondale for at leat 9 months.

I know what you mean about the 1/8 mile thing but I'm so ready to race this year I'll take what I can get. I do plan to go back to Bowling Green this year. I went to a f-body gathering there and had a good time. What do you have done to your car? Any times? Oh! There are a few people from Carbondale that post on this site. www.kytnar.org It stands for Kentucky Tennessee Auto Racing.

Hey, I'm interested in your f-body club. I went to a f-body gathering there in BG and had a good time. `When do you plan to have another meeting? I went to College with a guy that was from Benton, IL. He had a red 70's camaro. His name was Chad Wilson. He is probably about 28 or 29 years old. Do you know him?

I have heard the name before but he is 3 or 4 years older than me so I can`t place the name with a face of course I could know him and not realize it as I worked at the busiest gas station in town for about 4 years and spoke to a great number of people on a regular basis and never found out their names. The club I am has a site it is mtfba.org but ther is a club in Kentucky but right now the name has slipped my mind but under the links on the club site there is a link to it.

Come to think of it I remember the car now it took a few minutes I had to think back to freshmen year in high school but I believe it had a rather large scoop on the hood and some pretty good sized tires on the back. I could be wrong but the only other red 70's camaro I remember from high school was a pristine 81 z and that one belonged to a gut by the name of Kyle Bacon and shortly after he sold it someone totalled the car which made me sick when I heard it.

Yeah, that was probably him. The car wasn't all that nice but I just remember him driving it around in Evansville and I could tell it had a stall converter in it.
