Many of the same things as kdanner mentioned in his post. I am in the Austin proper area and have been running cars since the '90's building fox bodies out of junk yards. I lived in the Dallas area in the late '90's and was a regular at the Motorplex running my '85 and '90 coupes:
Got out of racing to focus on the family for ~10 years and got back into it about 3 years ago. Current car is a 2012 Mustang GT which has been a best ET of 10.87 and best MPH of 126.05. Hoping to best that this Fall/Winter.
We had the chance to meet several members at the Motorplex this past weekend and was referred over by El Presidente.
Thanks and look forward to hanging out.
