Every one of those is true....lol

but the sorry thing is i live in brooklyn (parents live in) where the MIS track is, now that is pittaful. we have the 3rd largest population in michigan two times a year. lol lol

i use to sell back road maps to some of the race fans but they always ended up waiting just as long when they waited to get back onto the busy roads

lmao that is so damn true of the place i live, only its the forestry industry instead of farming.

Oh man, that couldn't be more true of the town I am in. Every one of those is true. My senior year for homecoming we all drove tractors to school. Cops chewed our butts for cruising main.
