there is a possibility depending on timing and price. the more notice the better. it is my final goal.
you were close peter, 3 ich zzp catback, 3 inch zzp intake, and steering rack spacers. that should go good with that 3 inch header and ls4 TB with spacer. also, couple of things that i am seriously considering but not going to mention yet. not to mention i will need to retune.
i still need to make a big crate egine depot order when i can afford it next.
AND I THINK I MAY NEED TO EAT A SNICKERS COZ............. i am seriously considering doing a simple 2 tone with no print. jess has me seriously considering doing a pearl white and pearl tangerine.

ya ill give lots of notice. I am really tempted on selling the car in the summer and buying a wrangler. I live to far from the track now and i think i would enjoy a jeep a lot more. Im done with the speed game i think.

From the girl has moved more into this scene it's a blast and the people are so damn nice.
Plus instead of having to take slopes at an angle you can say "**** it I'll take the curb"
makes things much more entertaining.

i decided to put a small sample on the car. i must admit, it looked absolutely naughty. i would do it but that would mean i would have to repaint everything. to be honest there is no way that crappy tire has any color remotely even close to either of these colors. closest color they have is plain white and the orange off the late model skittles. i could have my stuff powder coated to match but at what cost. i am still tossing the idea around.

hey mark........ummmm i hate to say it, but Badlands Motorsports Resort has passed its 3rd and Final Zoning Application and said property has now been officially rezoned.
"Today at the regular meeting of the Kneehill County Council, the Badlands Motorsport Resort Land Use Bylaw # 1657 received third and final reading and was passed.***Our land is now rezoned to SPECIFIC DIRECT CONTROL DISTRICT DC4 that will allow development of* BADLANDS MOTORSPORT RESORT.There are no contingencies. We still need permits, and to get those we need to complete a Environmental Impact Assessment (slightly more detailed than the Biophysical Impact Assessment we have done) and a Traffic Impact Assessment, but we knew this all along.* There is no more public hearings.
The Project is a go."
Think of it this way, u could be out there racing every weekend and not have to drive back to Calgary till Sunday night, just stay out there with ppl u know. Cmon its Win/Win. Hell if you guys got a mini mobile workshop you could make money out there every weekend selling vinyl work
u never know, it could work and you would be rollin in the dough

still living the pipe dream are you? if the kneehill county has approved it that means they have moved locations. rosebud is in the county of wheatland. i have also been told that this guy doesnt have his funds in order. so you can keep wishing all you want but i have some serious doubts this will ever come true. let me remind you i had a inside person give me my info and i know he isnt feeding me crap. you might as well get use to travelling to med hat or edmonton.
nathan when i asked this person he let out a mild laugh and said fat chance (this is a reaction he gets when there is no hope) let me remind you that the purposal was recieved with open arms and and ears.
this rumor has been around for over 10 years and they have yet to break ground. to be honest the county of kneehill is even further away and it is almost at med hat. it makes even less sense now to open a track so far away.
rumors i wont believe until proven wrong. so til they day you show me the construction at said location i wont believe it. or if said person tells me otherwise.

dont worry man, i will have your favorite drink lined up and we'll go pop a few lawn chairs open and watch the ground breaking 
no pipe dream Mark, they have come this far, having the land rezoned is one of the biggest steps. I predict ground breaking in 2015

naysays.............we'd have never figured out flying if the wright brothers just gave up, cmon guys instead of being so damn negative about it why not support it? What possible reason could you have to not want new race tracks in Alberta? Some very dedicated ppl are trying to build 2 different race tracks and all i keep hearing from ppl is anti-supporting negative comments.......you know what they call ppl like that for the first few months after it opens for business?? hypocrites, who nag and throw **** on good ideas for no real reason other than to cause a scene and get "attention" like children do............guys we are all here because we love cars, we love horsepower, and we love torque........support the proposed changes, dont fight it, they are being proposed for your benefit, and everyones benefit, why fight against something that is good?

you miss understand nathan. not bringing a negative attitude about a race track. i just dont think that one will happen. to build a track with no oval, no drag strip, in the middle of bumfack alberta. i dont like its chances.
stainless is so soft and smooth, it reminded me fine peice of silk. i will tell you jon that cia is one fine piece. tomorow i plan on doing fuel filter and those hoses. i hope those gaskets and rack spacers show up soon. lol i may need to put my other axles in sooner then later. i am kinda waiting to put the car on stands til they show up. lol
