Wasn't sure if is "quicker" to by-pass the Dayton Traffice, or does that just depend on the Day of the week?

I've always just taken I-70/I-75... i google map-ed it just to see what it says and it says it's only a 4 min advantage taking I-70/I-75 to the I-75/35 intersection than 35 east just past Richmond... But I think it would be a painful drive going through all the little towns with a bunch of stop lights along the way and would most likely take 10-15 mins longer... just my $.02

BTW thanks for showing me your car on Sat... made me want to do more stuff to mine.... i doubt the wife will be happy to hear this haha

The entrance onto and off of the ends of the bridges are bad on a couple of them. I hit a couple and thought I had lost the whole bottom of the car. Jason experienced the same when he was over a couple of weeks ago. Just slow down and dont hit them at 70mph or you might lose or at least scrape your ground effects.

I looked on Edgewater's website and saw no mention of Thursday Night Lights. Has it been confirmed that they are doing it this Thursday and if so, what time do the gates open?????

2010 Camaro SS modified extensively. I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)

My understanding is it isn't put on by edgewater, so it won't be on their website. Its put on by the World Drag Racing League and Zerolift (among some other sponsors) who rent the place out every thursday.

Those WV bridge engineers haven't quite caught up to us Ohio engineers yet. Shouldn't joke, we have our share of holes in the roads.

Thanks for the tips, I'm headed that way Thursday night. But not in the camaro.
