Wish it would have turned out better for you Mita, as far as bad race fuel, i wouldn't think it would be that, knowing that dad has a race car and get's it by the 50 gal. drums, sometimes we have some left over from the season before and use it the following year and never had a problem.....maybe you have an injector stuck open, spark plug loose, just some ideas

Had to leave late from VA, so I knew I wasnt going to be able to get here in time to do any track stuff, so no DRs today. See yall at the cruiz in and then tomorrow for the show.

Cruiz in was a blast, lots of nice cars, the blvd cruiz was killer, had some fun with the locals and got to blast off a few barks here and there. Very happy that the Z didnt over heat with all that stop and go... Still fun though, anyone get a shot of the lineup down the blvd? Was having so much fun, that I forgot that I had my camera on me

Well said! It was great seeig the turnout at the track today folks.....Bill was not going to invite us back unless we showed a genuine interest in the track and I think we had a great showing. Thats the most fun I've ever had in my car, definitely the most I've beat on it, and I'm proud she didn't overheat once even with the A/C on!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone out there tomorrow morning and afternoon! Be sure to go see the sponsors and show em some love, and check out the tshirt sales. The tshirt sales are the main form of funding for this event, and to keep having the Beach Bash we hafta sale some shirts! Also, everyone get some good pictures and video from the weekend. This way we can show everyone who missed out how much fun we had this weekend. See ya'll tomorrow morning!

The track was SO fun. I was eliminated by the yellow car. No shame in that, LOL

I really hope we can keep doing that and convince more people to come for it.
