What a great time!!

We had issues with a slipping TH-350. I chose to keep running and finally kicked a rod out. The motor was pretty strong and I saw 127 mph on the first pass. I think that I learned enough to build a good hot rod for next year. I am going to start on a new car before the end of this year. Gump is officially retired.

Once again, this was a great event. No LTX fan should miss this next year.

Thanks to all who organized and attended this race for making it a weekend to remember.

Take Care,

Daren

Good luck with the new build Daren! 127mph is cooking! How many passes did you make before it gave up?

You should have introduced yourself! I saw all the Herron T-Shirts, but thought you guys were customers. Track me down next year for sure.

It died on the third pass. I'm really not upset about it. This goes in the stuff happens category!

Great talking with you last night! Those people that haven't attended this event truly should make the effort to show up, it is about the best time you'll have at a track event. Cant wait to see your newest creation.

Hey Darin,

You and your wife are probably some of the nicest people I have ever met! My car was the white one on the trailer that didn't get to run cuz of a blown head gasket. Your car was a beast for what it was. I have a couple bad videos off my camera of your car that I can send you if you'd like.

I can't wait till next year to see what you bring out.

You know what? THIS is why I still run an LTX car! This group of enthusiasts are the BEST!

I can't wait for the next Shootout!

Thanks to Tony and crew for making this such a family friendly event.

Agreed, I couldn't make it this year but the racing is such a small portion of what makes the shoot out worth going to. The people are what make it

Glad to see everybody had a great time. I just bought a house, last week, so my funds were wrapped up in that..Otherwise, I would've been there for sure. I made the first Shootout, and my Dad an I had a great time. Next year Im there for sure. As soon as I get fully moved in, I'll start working on my car, so I'll be done, for whenever the next one is .

too bad you didn't get more passes in before your engine popped gizmo! what was it anyways? I think I read a stock(ish) LT4? def a nice mph, what was the ET? so your all done with gump's chassis? that thing only has like 7xxx(hard) miles on it right?
