Damn it, I saw Mt Vernon and thought the Swindlers were setting up some illegal street racing in Washington! And trading parts too!

Bump for Central Ohio awesomeness.

Grew up in Newark but won't be in town for this

STEPHEN FIELDS · 03-31-2010, 12:30 PM

I could be wrong but I think this is the same weekend as the springfield swap meet and Blacktopbandits HAMB get together????

STEPHEN FIELDS · 03-31-2010, 12:33 PM

**oldsrocket** · 04-04-2010, 08:23 PM

I've often driven by this track on weekends and seen the smoke off of the staging lane. Lots of accomodations in the area.
Good luck!
