i must be getting old. I remember when I was a lot younger, a lot broker, and the car wasn't even paid off I would have been all over this.
Now that the car is paid for and I have money to do these events 5x over, I'm just like, "Meh..."

Retarded to be posting any of this over a public forum. I know if I was a the owner of the wrecked car, a LS1Tech sponsor, or just a fan of TX2K, I wouldn't want any talks associating me with illegal activities. Some things just don't need to be said in public.

As far as anyone needs to know, it's just a giant car show. I don't know, I'm probably just still angry that Pitt fucked my bracket tonight
, but I was always taught it's better to not advertise anything that could be misinterpreted or incriminating. It's the attorney in me Last edited by Jersey Mike; 03-20-2011 at 12:16 AM.

Doubt he was tuning it. He tuned it up at the beginning of the month.

Associating illegal activities with shops/sites/events that don't want it is like posting a picture of your girlfriend on here.. Its just not going to turn out well no matter what!! Haha
All BS aside, i'm glad everyone was ok and nobody else was involved though..
**Edit
Just watched the other videos.. Why does everyone insist on following? A well shot video from inside the cars leaves me with a better idea of how the race went then trying to chase and accidently getting in someones way..

i believe this is the guy that had his pan hard bar bent while being strap on the dyno at the event before he wrecked. he was trying to fix it the day of his wreck.

this was posted after the event. at least something is getting done. sorry to see a TA had to get totaled after words.
1. I have heard some comments that the cars were not being strapped in a safe manner on Friday at the dyno. Let me go on record by saying that not once did I feel like we were compromising safety on the dyno. Not once did anyone tell me that they felt like we needed to do things differently/better/safer. I have picked up an "Official TX2K12 Strapper" who will be in charge of strapping 60+ cars in 2012 at the event that feels like he can do it better/quicker/safer than we did it this year.
2. I need to go on record and say that the unofficial events (parking lot, streets, etc...) are just that....unofficial and NOT part of the TX2K event. I cannot and will not be responsible for anything that happens at an unofficial event. Heck, i'm not even responsible for someone acting foolish at an official event!!!!!
3. Sunday schedule was my fault...I pushed back the event 3 hours and delayed the eliminations. I take 100% blame for that as it was a judgement call. Had we kept the schedule as is, we would have had 17 cars in the classes racing as opposed to 78 cars. I apologize for delaying those of you who stayed to the end but I felt it was a decision I had to make.
4. Omni hotel........let's just say that this is going to be an ongoing issue for me that will continue long after you all forget about TX2K11 and start thinking about TX2K12. From the draining of the pool (b/c of broken glass and other things) to the parking lot tire marks, let's just say they are not happy. There will be changes next year that will include parking lot access to hotel guests only, HPD officers on site, and a few other changes that will help keep the drama down. This is all assuming they take us back.
5. I have seen the police report from HPD and those that were arrested on Sat night and those that were documented as causing trouble were NOT hotel guests. The Omni knows this and I wanted to pass it on to all of you as well.Let me leave this post by saying that I appreciate that each of your takes time from family and spends money to come to our event. I hope you all come back for TX2K12. I will continue to put my heart and soul into this event for as long as I can and hope you support me by coming and participating in the events. Thanks to you all and see you next year...
