That was me. Put the car into 2nd gear and the line lock was engaged. I felt it engaged and heard a pop inside the car when i popped the clutch thought at first it was my rearend. The car won't shift into gear when the car is started. If the car is off i can shift gears. The weird thing is when i got into first gear and started the car it takes off with the clutch engaged so i had no idea what's going on with it. Speed will look at hopefully this week.
Sorry guys for the pathetic burnout attempt.

Ok I have quite a bit on tape. Over an hour actually from actual burnouts and such.
I'm currently working on putting together a video of the open house. Once I do anyone that see's their car in there just shoot me a PM of where it's at in the video and I will be more than happy to help you out.

this was my first time coming to this and it was well worth it. drove 500 miles each way and saw stuff I never seen before. I woulda done a burnout but with as far as I had to drive I didn't want to risk something.

On a really weird side note - after I left I went to Woodfield and saw CHARLIE MURPHY there.
UN frickin believable!!!!

The Speed Inc. Open House is awesome, and it's great that you guys waited longer and for better weather.

With all that rubber down, did anyone lift a tire?

that was my plan when i left..there was a ton of rubber but it wasn't sticky at all since it was all radial rubber and no vht or anything. i footbraked it and competely blew the tires off for 3 gears, i had to click 2nd after like 20 feet i was spinning so hard. oh well, i tried

Well you didn't do a burnout when everyone was coming in which is to bad because there wasn't a huge crowd to get in the way of the shot. I honestly don't even remember seeing your car other than when it was parked so I probably didn't get it on video.

gotta say i loved the open house like i loved going to every other one since 2005. Speed inc did a OUSTANDING job hosting, along with the specials and just being there to mingle with all the folks. I also am going to be putting together another vid of it, sooo much footage idk how long it will take! haha. The turn out this year was UNBELIEVEABLE. so glad to see so many die hard fans like my self. and mad props to the man in the thirdgen bird for covering us ALL in smoke! i had the camra still
recording while in the smoke!

http://media.putfile.com/LS1-Speed-I...use-vid-I-made

a quick vid of last years, not alot of fotage cause my battery died and hosting it online SUCKS! **** quality. i was still learning the editing world back then, haha

i plan to make this one pretty good so keep an eye out

glad everyone had a blast, and I look forward to next years!
