If i get everything done on my Christmas break i will try and get some times in then. As for going straight for the 7s, i don't see that happening. I am going to go out at low boost for a little while and have some fun. It will be nice to know that the car is capable though, just in case i get a wild hair

I'd give anything to have someplace like that to ride! I used to race quads, but that looks amazing.

Ernie some people say that some of the best supercross riders come out of the west coast ,simply because of the weather permits to ride all year around , out here the mx scene is big, there are a bunch of tracks and alot of shops .....I only wish it was like that for rotaries .....

Not at all, you are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else. This is after all a public forum.

Holy shnikies! And I was complaining about 2" of rain last week.
Looks like about 2.5-3'. I don't envy you guys east coast winter weather. I don't know how you guys can live in that. How early do you have to get up just to get to work on time or do you even go to work on days like that?
