Default Hello from Texas

Hello everyone,
My name is Wes and live in East Texas. I am an avid car enthusiast and drag racer. Well until I lost time for drag racing with work and kids. I've spent the last several years building a Turbo 2003 Cobra and finally completed it but have no time for racing anymore. I've always liked Vettes but have never been in a position to own one. I especially like the C5 and newer models. With getting older and less time for playing at the track I've finally decided it's time to back to the streets and possibly time to step up into a Corvette. The board seems to be a great place since I've been lurking around for a while. Looking forward to talking with everyone and maybe one day meeting a few. Thanks everyone and thanks to the admins for what looks like a good place to hang out. Thanks again Wes.

Thanks for the welcomes guys. If anyone wants a drag car I posted my cobra for sale in the C6 classifieds.. I know it's probably sacrilegious being a Ford but she needs a new home. Lol.
