Both our Z06's were on stock sized toyos slipping all over the place this weekend. Hopefully we'll have our drag radials mounted soon (my BFG 315mm DR's are in the garage waiting on wheels).

Next time it rains and then stops at night we need to go out and get some pictures while the roads / parking lots are still wet... last Friday night was perfect for this - I went down to the new wal-mart and got some of mine before they came around asking what I was doing (they were pretty cool though actually):








Also - next time we take a caravan to Reynolds I can get some good pics too; that road is PERFECT for side-by-side "in-motion" pictures. Here's a few I got of Wes's car on that road (out towards Pratt & Whitney) before he sold it:

If the weather holds out it should be a fun night. Or will it be saturday? Either way it will be an awesome display of american muscle Vipers, Vettes, and of course not your average Iroc.

Are you on the g8board? Is Vengeance working on your car?

The reason I ask is there's a guy on there that had some work done by them.

Those headers should ship in roughly a week. My dads out hunting and he'll be away from home during that time. Might be sooner but I wouldn't bet on it.
