Are you moving there for school? I just graduated from OSU a year ago. Not a lot of big warehouse companies in the Stillwater area, but there are some big manufacturers on the north side of town. Armstrong, Kicker, MerCruiser. There are a couple of Wal-Marts and tons of restaurants. I used to work at the NAPA on S. Perkins, the pay wasn't all that great, but it was better than most and the core group of guys that work there are pretty cool.

Also, just a word of warning...if you are driving a modified car, don't drive around with your fog lights on. The Stillwater PD likes to pull people over because they have a hard-on for drunk drivers.

anyone want to go to the sheriffs test track with me?

DeatschWerks

When?

oueng

next sunday the 20th

DeatschWerks

Are you coming out with the BMW/OKS group?

oueng

yes sir. I have been going out to the Porsche ones and now i want to start doing both of them.

DeatschWerks

Cool. It'll be good to have you out there.

I'll be in a window-less Q45 with a friend of mine. :D

oueng

sweet i will be in the Grey ski-on

DeatschWerks

Anyone else going to make it out? A friend of mine (the guy that owns the Q I'll be driving) has thrown out a friendly wager. Those of you that have not been out with us, if you beat him in the Q45, he'll pay for your entry fee. ...if you don't beat him, well, you still had a good time trying, right? And you won't own him anything.

DeatschWerks

I didn't see you out there. Everything okay?

DeatschWerks

Well, bring your car up to Hallett. I'm one of the DE instructors up there, so I can ride (or drive) with you to make sure you aren't doing it wrong! ;)

you can ride i pretty much know all my techniques i just need to get out on the track. ive been autoxing and grip driving ever since i had my license. wat are the fees like? and isnt there traack in texas to?

DeatschWerks

There are lots of tracks in Texas.

I believe the fee for the day is $95 (+$5 gate/entry fee) and then $35 for your DE School (required for your first time at Hallett). If you'd like to rent a transponder it's an additional $20 (good for tracking progress), and if you'd like covered parking it's $15...I believe.

...plus gas, food, and expendables (I'd recommend an extra set of brake pads and rotors and some good fluid, just in case)

The Finish Line Cafe (onsite restaurant) has some really good food (lunch is typically $8-$12).

oueng

yeah i didnt get to make it out. someone locked my phone and i had to use my entry fee to get it turned back on. i am looking forward to the next one. maybe a trip to hawllett in the future.

DeatschWerks

You should. Let me know when you are coming. I'm trying to be there every weekend we have a DE-HST group...but I'm sure there will be a weekend I miss.
