Default SPEED INC open house photos

Well Between drooling over the shop cars and waiting in line to pick up my exhaust I managed to take some pictures. Here are a few and below is the link to my fotki album. Maybe we can make this the picture thread and have everyone who took and uploaded pictures post them here. Enjoy















Silver LT1 camaro guy who burn up a nice set of tires in the above pics, you made my day worthwhile

Pics Here

Anyone else have any photos? How about some of the shop, etc...?

Weird to still see snow up there when it is 84F and sunny down here

I'll look for some pic links from the regional site, though other folks might post up more pics.

I was there with Anne and I took some pics of the some of the engine compartments.

In spite of it being 20F and salty, the turnout was pretty decent.

By the way, Jim aka Dood does a great job of taking pictures. A lot of the pictures in the 2 two pages give you a good sense of how Speed Inc. is set up and, the rest of the pages give you a sense of how much fun it was.

Very cool pics! I may have to make the trip for the next open house. Looked like a great time. Did the cops put an end to the burnouts?
