Cool

I was there from 10 to 12 noon hanging out with some of my corvette buds, and as always it was WILD and a GREAT TIME, and I was pleasantly surprised that by the time I left the FUZZ had not yet shown up! Thanks SPEED INC and CREW for just another OPEN HOUSE bar none the best in town!

I was there later, and did not see any cops. Dood (Jim) was videotaping, I'm sure he got a ton of video. I drove the Camaro there.

Guys I'm uploading my video's onto my computer as we speak. I ended up with about an hour worth of tape so it may take some time to edit it but definitly tons of good burnouts today.

Did you have the unpainted sunoco hood on? If so I can't wait to see the car in action when it's built.

I have about an hour of tape but is that from when you first came in? I have a couple of the 30th T/A's burnouts on tape and that'll help me find it.

Also from your avatar I take it you have a red Trans Am. Was yours the one with the unpainted WS6 hood?

With the salad shooters right?

Did you do a burnout? I have a video of you going into the crowd as you pulled out of Speed's lot and then it cuts out and I have it from you driving away and getting on it alittle.
I know I also have a video of when you showed up but I think you came strainght in a parked if I remember.
