New member, was referred by a friend of mine.
My name is James, I live in Mid-Michigan and I own a Nitrous assisted Chevy SS Sedan, 415cu in Stroker. I have a lot of friends with Corvettes, CTS-Vs, G8s etc etc.
I and a lot of my friends go to Lapeer dragway, which if you have not heard has a 100% BRAND NEW Track surface, the first 700' (1/8th mile and launch pad) are all new polished concrete. The rest is all new asphalt. The return road and the entire pit area is now paved. Something to think about as the old surface was not very friendly to Corvette owners. Hope to see some of you all out there this summer.

Welcome to the forum, James!
Think I remember Lapeer (if it's east of Flint in the middle of a forest). Nice to see it is not only still around but sounds much improved.
