Default SpeedInc Open House?

Well this April is my 21st birthday and since it isn't on a friday or saturday night i was thinking whats a better gift than a cruse down to SpeedInc for their open house. So the question is what weekend in April is the open house? That way i can let all my professors know i am not going to be at class as I have more important things to do.

unfortunately i didn't have the money to take advantage of the bmr stuff, and it was too bad the cops rained on the party a lil but it was an awesome time.
that was the first chance i got to cruise with a larger amount of fbodies. can't wait for this years.

I really enjoy burning up tires at their open house (see sig) Not sure if we can do that anymore due to the whole getting arrested thing that happened last time.

Man they need to have another one.

It was awesome last year with the Toll Booth Hole Shots, The Speeding Cadillacs, The Sudden 45mph speed limit when all the m6's saw a State Trooper, The Burnouts on the street, The TT'd F-body's.... but then PSJ and Matt D ate all the pizza...

... then Ben Stiller showed up in a squad car and ruined everything

Yeah, even a video was made of it LOL.

Can't blame the cops, burn outs on a public road with a ton of people standing on either side of the road.....


Remember the Pro Mod car that did that in Vegas and killed a few people?
