On Friday nights I usually stay in because I have to wake up at 6:30AM on Saturdays so I can be at work when they open. Saturday nights it varies...sometimes I just sleep because I'm tired, other times I go out and have a good time.

Do y'all ever go out to the 1/8th mi strip in Benson. I haven't had the opportunity to go there yet for test and tune night, but am told it's something like $8 to be a spectator or $13 to run your car for the night.

does anyone work past 7pm. We could do a friday or sat meet @ 7-8 pm. A good spot is Frankies off of Glenwood. BTW if anyone wants to go to benson on a thursday night let me know. I`ve been wanting to try my car out in the 1/8th for a while.

Yeah, I understand the mountains are a bit of a drive for most from Raleigh/Durham for a meet. I feel likewise about doing the opposite. However, were someone to wish to have a meet in the mountains over a weekend, I have this to offer. We run a performance shop in Black Mountain and can perhaps offer to do a clublexus/SELOC dyno day and beautiful curvy mountain road driving event. Our Mustang Dyno allows for accurate 1/8 and 1/4 mile standing start runs so any draggers may find that of some use. And we are a mile from #9 to Lake Lure and only minutes from many other epic drives, not to mention a much shorter drive to Deals Gap. Any interested individuals should contact me at the shop (828) 664-9010 or by e-mail Ian@Appalachianperformance.com. BTW, This isn't a sales pitch or anything, we're just motorheads that love our Toyota's and want to meet like minded individuals to hang out with.

question for you all. Ive already looked through the car care forum but there are to many opinions. What products are you all using to clean vinyl, your leather, ect..?


also debating on washing the car. im scared because of the way the clouds are looking!

Okay guys... How does October the 20th sound? around 7-8pm. As far as a location you said frankies. There are plenty of spots tbh so i am sure we can come up with something. The mountains sound nice but maybe we can do that in November? Sometime before or after the holidays (Thanks Giving).

Also with a thursday night meet to benson drag sounds great but tbh with you guys i don't have my after-nine yet and i am sure my mom would disaprove . I get my after-nine though in november (the 15th) i believe.

Also for the member list so far:

If someone can't/ can do it on the 20th post here and let me know so i can update the list. Also more input on a location.
