Hi Dustin!
I used to live in Sheboygan which is about 50 to 60 miles south of Green Bay along Lake Michigan. Nice town.....big enough (almost 50,000) but not too big IMO. I could jump on I-43 and head north to GB or south to Milwaukee and be at either one in about an hour. Sounds like your going to UW-Green Bay? If you like to watch or participate in drag racing there is a decent track in Kaukauna. I have been to that track a few times. The gravelled pits kinda suck but the track itself was decent.....well....except for having to stage at 90 degrees to the track then backing into the water box - if you want to use it. Kaukauna is on the north east side of Lake Winnebago. Take 41 south(or east) of Green Bay for about 30 miles. BTW that track is called Wisconsin International Raceway. They also have 1/2 and 1/4 mile paved oval racing! Check it out at: WIR

Thanks for the reply! Yep, I am thinking about going to UWGB. I have spent my last two vacations in Green Bay because I love the area so much and I figured that school would be nice to check out. Do you know anything about it? (UWGB)

I grew up in Wisconsin, so I am already a Packer fan. What do you guys think about the area itself? Thanks again!
