I don't know why the first ones are so small. Weird.

I am really Jones'n for a trip to K'ville. Love the roads down there.
Hey, look at it this way, if they don't take credit, you aren't in debt for your eats for the trip. Sounds like a great time. Must be the short route if you went 279. HaHa.

The roads were awesome and I know some people were not happy with the pace but I for one am glad I was with the front group!! I had some scrapeage but I need a new cat anyway, haha.

I had been out there before but the other cruises I go on tend to be slow (damn sissy EVO owners). The pace that was set by the leader was just up my alley. It felt like a track day. I had a blast. VS8, I'll see you next thursday at Academy.

Oh, and these roads were not so nice to our boosted brother. I heard some funny remarks though. let me just say that white smoke is not normal for boosted cars and oil does not run rich, haha. It's a beautiful ride though, the best looking of the bunch by far but get that **** tuned!!!

This weekend was awesome. Sorry if our pace was not up to speed..lol
I have never run my car as hard or as fast as we did today, but will be better next time. By the end of the day my driving skills definately improved.


Kudos to Seatownracer for putting all this together,looking forward to the next meet...Thanks for a great weekend!!!!!!!!!

Wish I could of gone.

On the bright side I got free compression test and got my alignment dialed in. I will definitely have to make the next state meet. Woe to the poor soul who rides with me, I'll put my car to the test!

Looks like those of us who didn't get to make it really missed out! I'll be anxious to see everyone's pictures and hear some stories.

This was by far one of the most fun weekends ever...the roads were incredible and hopefully LordET's video comes out good...We had a pretty good buffet lunch in Campwood....ummm was there any funny stories? The Aero van at the river who asked "ya'll wanna race for pinks?" to the 20b 8 and 7 was pretty classic
