I just drove by South Gate park and saw an assortment of SRT vehicles(about 12). I pulled over and told them to meet up at Irwindale thursday they said they might go. Maybe the heat will keep the crowd down.

Well just bring the helmet and thell them you run in the 8.60/8.70 but hide it in the back lol. CMONT called me he will be there as i will be helping him as its his 1st time out. as HEMI@LAST mite make it.The guy to beat will be SRTOCHO out of STACK as hes putting out more hp than all of us and his 08 jeep and him are 106 lbs lighter than me. He told me his body wt and options in his jeep so i fig out his race wt from mine at 5084 lbs to my 5190. So we got out job cut ou 4 us lol. On paper SRTOCH should beat me by .11 in the 1/8 mile yuk. HEMI@LAST has a pertty fast JEEP and so does LYLE if he shows as well. I will try and help evey 1 i can to better there times no mater what they run its all in fun. Oh well let the best man win.
