I was there but my car was not. Still at home on jackstands awaiting the clutch install. But it was a great time. And huge thanks to Speed Inc for hosting. Great to see the shop and works in progress inside.

I really had my hopes up that he was going to do something but I can't say I blame him. It's an extremely expensive car.
I was also hoping the Lamborghini would have really gotten onto it so we could hear it but alas it wasn't to be.


I'm currently working really hard on the video. If I don't get interupted I hope to have it done tonight but if not tomorrow at the latest.

I didn't bring the SLR so I didn't take any pictures.

I didn't see you do a burnout. I thought the whole group from Hooters was going to drive through and do burnouts but only like 6-7 people did. It's to bad because it wasn't crowded yet so it would have been a perfect shot of the burnout.
