Sorry if anyone called me and I forgot to call back...I had about a billion different numbers and got them mixed up.

You must have gotten to Air Park right after we got kicked out.

Cops never came to Rivergate though...you must have been one of the guys that left when someone yelled out "cops!" as a joke... :

It may have been a joke, but we got to the end of Rivergate and there was a Memphis Police car blocking the exit at the bridge.

We went to Air Park around 10 - 10:30. Right after we got kicked out of AutoZone.

Right when everyone else did.

I heard "5-0" and was already mid-sprint. It think it was like 12:30.

Haha, I think we might have gotten there a little bit after that.

Maybe that is why it was empty

Yup. Most likely. A lot of people turned onto Track Street or something like that.

Got a ticket last time and embarrassed this go around. Some fellow in a ragged out '96-98 GT wanted to run, so I figured he'd be easy pickings. I asked how it was hooking and he said, "like shit." Mine's about like slippers on ice, so I wasn't too worried. On the line he dropped the clutch and dead hooked from about 3 grand, while I was babying it off idle to keep from spinning. I caught him by about 85 and managed about 3 lengths around 100.


We pulled over and talked a bit. He had a PI swap, 3.73s, and what sounded like at least a catback.


Won the run, but it had to have looked bad from the crowds point of view.



Damn Rivergate!

wow, left to early once we got run off from the first place me and 4 other f-bodies headed back to the hotel because we didn't know where to go. I guess I should have called Matt or Dustin. It was fun while it lasted, hope to make it back up there and have some fun soon.

Yeah, once we got kicked out of the first place we headed to a gas station right down the street then went to Rivergate and stayed out there for awhile...I left at 2:30am and there was still a ton of cars there.

Would've just been a smoke show. That's what I get for running around damn near on the wear bars. He hooked like a son of a bitch while I sat there and did my best impression of an old lady.


S'all gravy
