Default Notes from the Pike last night...

First time up there this year. Things were a little slow, but still a lot of cars around.

BK was a pretty much a joke, but the Mopar **** did have their cars parked in the front. I have to laugh when I see their cars, most have some really shitty paint on them, yet they think they're show cars. The real kicker was that even though there were only about 15 cars in the parking lot, they were still making everything other than Mopar park in the back... so there was the three Mopars in the front and all the other cars in the back. LOL, ******* tools.

DD was busy but looked to be a mixed crowd. I didn't stop in to check it out, but it looked like a lot of rice bikes.

CC had a few ricers, but the cops were keeping them out of there.

TB was packed most of the time, a couple Mustangs and a lot on Neons.

Wendy's was packed with the rice crowd. I was borred so I drove through there to ruffle some feathers. As I drive through the lot looking for a parking space I had two serperate kids running along my car trying to see if I had DR's. LOL! When I finally parked several of the import guys came over to size up the car. Many of them were little punk ricers, but I was surprised to meet a few cool kids who had mad respect for American muscle. I heard a fair amount of smack talk, but none of the ricers wanted to run... I guess the SC scared them a little. What really caught me off gaurd was how many of the little chicks that were hanging with the import guys were into the Z06. I must have had at least ten chicks come over to the car saying how much they loved the car. I thought all of the little chicks today were only into rice, I guess not all of them.

While driving around, just about every import had to pull up next to me and toot their fart can and BOV. I had one guy in a Honda trying to race me (like I would on the main drag...). He kept pacing me and then hitting the gas. At one of the lights, the guys GF (pretty cute) rolls down the window to see if I wanted to go from a roll. I said sure, lets go on the highway to be safe. While pulling away from the light he was again pacing me at about 60 mpg tooting and snorting his BOV so I desided to let him see what he was getting into... I hit it, lighting the tires up at about 65 mph getting the car sideways, then let off. At the next light he wouldn't even pull up next to me and pulled off at the folling light. I guess he didn't want any.

All in all, it was just nice to get out and mess with some ricers and enjoy the nice weather... for a change.

Hope to meet a few of you up there this summer.

only way that alcohol would be appropriate would be after the fun, with everyone not going anywhere til they sober up. no drinking and driving whenever im around. but thats my 2 cents

Hey WET1 , I know a few of those Mopar guys and some are very cool and have some fast cars, They do all the work and all the talking to burgerking management and arranged it. So they have the right to tell you where to park (I beleive). But hey continue to hang around with the ricers and wonder why no one wants to play with you, so when your ready I can introduce you to a few guys that will race your supercharged car for some $$$.. and yes they do go to burgerking , I just think its alittle early still and the weather being up in the air every friggin weekend dont help..
