It looks like you had a decent turnout. That stock looking maroon car is pretty.

Thanks guys! My new Hoosier was sitting on my porch in plain site when I got home, lol. Hopefully that helps a bit. BADHAWK-they are Sun Star style. Took about 2 weeks to get since they build them as ordered. I blew it on the backspacing though. I had to run a .5" spacer so they wouldn't hit the caliper and had to grind on each caliper as well.

Just before I took this pic I heard the car nose over, not sure what happened:

The ice is an old trick of the trade. Good for 1 tenth

Depends on the amount of heat soak the motor gets. My engine runs at 155-160 and gets so much air in the intake that ice doesn't do me any good. Plus you don't want to get that opti wet!!!!!!!! You can drive my car for an hour, pop the hood and put your palm on top of the intake and it won't be hot.

My wife and I have already started planning our trip for next year, I will be there but don't know if I'll be able to resist the urge to further mod my car. Might have to just enjoy my time there and race extreme street, with no prayer of winning that class.

There are a few things I do need to do to my car to make it a FULL bolton, and maybe I can just limit myself to those mods.

Clutch
58mm throttle body
short stick
subframe connectors
real big n littles

NEXT year should happen for me... the wife (aka teacher) will NOT be going back to school next Sept b/c she'll still be on mat leave. That's been our problem last few years... we keep having kids and end of Aug/early Sept schedule is a cluster**** the little ones start daycare and she starts her school year... its been the hardest weekend for me to disappear on.

Hats off to all organizers and those who made the trip this year!

come on out next year man! its a blast!
