Tryin to get a trip to Texas goin with some chill people and some fast cars. Whos down? As of now, i have NO clue as to dates or anything, just trying to get the jist of who’d wanna go. I know me and sully planned on trailoring both of our cars down with Hatefields diesel truck(when he gets it). Ive met alot of people through RKC, and they have some FAST shit, and are good people. It would be nice to get a fast crew to go, and have a good time down there for a week or so. PLEASE keep all bullshit out of this thread, thanks! ---

I think it’d be more realistic and a better turnout to plan a trip to the Berlin Turnpike… ---

And by run, i mean dig, no pussy racing:lol:tongue Since the scene over there totally blows the Albany scene out of the water, I’m sure there is a spot that they race at. Digs are cool, but I couldn’t care any less about how a car launches on the street. Having something that you can daily drive comfortably and feels like a bat hits you in the chest when you punch the gas from highway speeds is my game:thumbup ---

A bit of a drive so it probably takes 3-4 days to get there and 3-4 days back plus staying there for a few days so that probably means taking 2+ weeks off from work. Not possible for me. ---
