Grew up there. Lots of Cops. Roads are in bad shape with lots of pot holes in the older parts of town. Winter sucks as they never do a decent job cleaning the streets.

Now I have not lived there since 83, but my sister still lives there and my mom and dad live down in Scanton and go to Topeka for shopping and to see my sister and her kids.

I think about the only place that is worst then JC is Ogden if you count that. I really only go to Topeka for Heartland Park Drag Racing, and occasionally stop and eat at one of the places off Wanamaker.

What you doing in JC, military? Ill be here until around the end of January and then I get out of the military and go back home. Which is way better then JC.

Yeah Ogdon is sad. I lived 20 years in Manhattan and everytime I had to drive thru Ogdon to do work on Post it depressed me.

Yea I went tonight, the track was horrid. First pass I went 13.3 @ 110mph but after that it was all down hill until the point that I was running in the 14's. No traction what so ever.

And I know your car, and Im sure you have seen mine quite a bit.

And I just checked, there is another Test and Tune next month on the 26th, hopefully the weather hold up. And if it does, hopefully I can get atleast a little traction.

Pretty well summed it up with crappy roads (for the most part), and a lot of cops.
