Default LTX Shootout

We had a blast!

This race should be on every LT1 owners must-do list. Lots of really nice cars were in attendance and the racing was really cool.

Thanks to Tony and all for putting on such a great event.

Also, thanks to Mike and everyone else who helped push my junk up to the water box. I enjoyed hanging out with all of you. I hope that my enthusiasm wasn't too much!

I really enjoyed meeting everyone. I would have to say that I had as much fun after the race as I did running it. You guys are a class group of racers.

Thanks,

Daren

Thanks for the consistantly wheels up launches

It was nice meeting you, Gizmo... and thanks for the breakdown on the rules about your car... I'd heard little tidbits about the class, but didn't know the details.

And yes, the event was awesome, as well as all the competitors/spectators.

Missed it this year, Tony and I sent our motors to the shop at the same time and it took almost 9 months to get them back. Mine was not done until a couple of weeks ago, shame, I would of been the only Turbo car there..Next Year. Also sorry I could not get to everyone, .Tried to help out Loyd, Larry at Speed Inc and a couple of other racers,Heck I didnt see much of the racing due to being in the pits more than at the track. Also Needed to keep on Tony's car. But all in all had a blast, met some great people and am looking forward to next years..See you all there.....
