Only 2.5 weeks to go!!! I cant believe how fast time is going by. My car is still in a ton of pieces, but it WILL be ready to go by then. I need to get the suspension dialed in better for hooking on the street, and tune for a little more n20
Our group tends to hang out in the parking lot near the large trojan horse. Anyone that is interested in racing, or going to the spot and laying down some rubber should go to that parking lot Sat. night and there should be more details about when and where.

So ready for this!

Got my Automotion ride for this year up and running the other night. Sorting out the tune now, and should be ready for the 5 hour ride up and some cruising.

Yeah apparently we have another member with a TA that I wasn't aware of. Why will dude go around talking about UnikMuscle cruises that he supposedly went on when no executive or member knows who he is. We don't let just anybody into the club.

Anyway I'm looking forward to cruising to Automation on Saturday. We should probably find some country roads all the way up there. That might be more fun than catching the hwy all the way up there.

We should be getting down there about 7 pm on Friday. Im guessing that we will prob. take a ride down the main drag, and then hang out by the wooden horse for a little while. Then back to the hotel for a few pre bar drinks, then off to Marleys. Hopfully we can find an after bar party to carry on to. Sat. after the burnouts we will prob be up by the horse again and organize the races for that evening.
Loaded up the slicks, track bite, methanol, and pump sprayers last night. Hopfully we can get the street hooking really good.

nice. fastGBcamaro, sorry we didnt meet up with you guys for the races. we realized the campground we were staying at had gates that closed at like 1 and you were talking about heading out at midnight so it would have been pointless for us. next year though!

No prob. you didnt miss much. Got out to the spot and heard on the scanners that the police were called and were heading out to find us. After that a good portion of the group decided to just go back in town and start drinking. A few of us still found some open roads for some street action, but def. not like years in the past. Still had a good time, but we need to rethink how/ where we race. Might have to just make more runs on the interstate in small groups.

It was still great meeting a bunch of people from the forum. Next year we need more LS1tech members to show up.

Definitely a fun time, no doubt. The night-time cruising was not nearly as fun/busy as it's been in the past, which bums me out. We did more drinking at the hotel than anything...my malibu didn't like idling in traffic too much either.
The burnouts were a good time though...other than the clusterfuck of a parking situation.
