I had a blast seeing a lot of old faces and meeting new people. I left and went to D.I.D.'s dyno day and just got home. I am BEYOND burnt. I am sleeping sitting up tonight

Thanks to all the guys at Speed Inc., especially Larry who gave me a shirt for showing him my weiner.

Who had the black Camaro with duals and WI plates, we ended up getting on I90 in a row, and I nailed it for a couple of gears... Hope you had also seen that statie on 53, that's why I slowed down and tucked in behind some slow cars.

White Camaro with black hood and salad shooters that was loud

Thanks to Speed Inc for opening their doors and putting on a fantastic event! After watching hours of non-stop burnouts, I have come to only one conclusion, I NEED MORE POWER!!!

Also, who did that SL65 belong to?

Yes it was definetly a gorgous day out and evrything was good and safe. Does anyone know what kind of power that 95 white lt1 convertable was putting out or what his motor blower combo was? i'm guessing alot of boost in that one and also I think he had spray on top of it. I have a video of his burnout and almost loseing it torwards the end but you cant see the ending too many people/smoke. I think that red camaro with the black wheels fucked up his clutch im not sure he dropped it and stalled it right away. All in all it was a gorgous day I too seen a few schaumburg cops roll by with no looks luckyily I cant wait till next year.
be safe guys

Hey guys,

I'm a loser and forgot my video cam to record my burn out, the only blue GTO I believe to do one. If anyone has it and would be willing to give it to me, that would be great!

Haha, thanks man. I am so sunburned, my skin feels like sandpaper. It looks like ONEBADWS6 is going to be rubbing aloe on me for a few days

I'll have to come out there again soon and check out your wife's stang. I think the street is sticky enough for us to do some wheels up passes
