I haven't been to the area myself but I hear the surrounding country is pretty.

I'm up for both, I'll be a spectator for the Drag racing but I don't mind
hanging out.

That would be cool; I would like a chance to check out some more challenging

Nope, I missed that post. Even better, I'll should have my drivetrain and axle
