Moroso Update?
Haven't seen any pictures or anything lately, anything interesting to show yet, or are they still just moving around big piles of dirt?

If you check out Moroso's website they have some nice arial shots that really shows the extent of the remodel. It looks like we will have a great venue to call home this fall!

So instead of getting an air dam kit for my car, maybe I should get a snorkel kit instead?

Yeah, and while you are at it, forget about the side pipes. Looks like you may need some semi truck exhaust stacks as well.

I stopped by the track today. It was really raining hard but they were still working. They expect to reopen on time.
There may be a change from the original plans to the drag strip. I will let them announce it, but it will be a great improvement.

They're building 4 lanes instead of 2, and the 2 new lanes will be perfectly prepped at all times, and reserved strictly for Corvette runs? Great news!!

Oh hell yeah man. Roger and the boyZZZ at HorsePower have hooked me up.
They call this package the "SEND ED PACKING MOD"
In light of the accident at Englishtown
Has that changed the top end construction? I would imagine getting a National Event is the goal.
