Yeah, just keep me updated, or like I said before I like helping out planning events so just let me know if you need help. I know that planning out this kind of stuff can be overwhelming.

What I think would be awesome is a cruise down to New Braunsfel for a huge GM float the river trip

if we were to do a peoples vote I would say

each person can't put in a ballot for another vehicle from his/her city/area. So someone from houston has to vote for either dfw/sa/austin vehicles.

and yes an actual aftermath party would be AWESOME!!!

and hahaha ok so who are you anyways? a steven nut swinger? or just someone that joined up to be a nuisance? i didnt realize someone could get so bent out of shape about something they didnt have part one in making happen? its my opinion that your opinion doesnt even count.

i wasnt aware that a simple in dash dvd screen was riced out and played out? thats all i was looking for. thats how the judging sheet read, it has a separate spot JUST for VIDEO. if you didnt have video it was a zero. zero's hurt points bad, sir.



wtf do you think trophies from most other shows are made from? gold? nope.. that same 'cheap' plastic. maybe next year you can front the big boy cash for some 'real' trophies? until then you get to STFU about it.

on the camaro subject i was merely pointing out the fact that HIS camaro was very unique and is NOT something you see every day. if you had actually paid attention to it im sure you would have known that. his camaro was > every car there ten fold IMO. also trying to get across that this was the HEAD JUDGE'S car. its not some ordinary daily driven v6 POS you see on every texas highway every other mile.
wooooooooo woooooooo wooooooooo there steven nut swinger i got no one to come in to talk for me. if i got something to say i say it myself. i got what your saying and replied back on the score thread.

If anything, Im there to run my car and have a good time on the track and with friends, and to meet and make new friends. Thats what its all about in my head.

The track didnt have the best prep and I think overall, people were running slower times than expected. I myself was expecting something faster than a 13.68, but whatever, it was fun

Hopefully next year we have pavement and a better track to run on.
i think most ppl ran slower times than usual

Yeah, I still wonder if that's a matter of poor track prep, or that it was hot and muggy that day. Maybe if we have the option we aim for mid/late March so it's cooler out?

True, it was very muggy out. I dont doubt that had something to do with it. The only cars that got any traction were the ones that did full 20sec burnouts. All of us FWD guys could barely get off the line without spinning. Even some with slicks had issues. I think in March we might still be seeing uncomfortable cold days. This years timing was fine IMO.

Still, it was really fun and I had a good time.

all day I was running 14.6 and 14.7 at 94mph, then my last run the sun had gone down, and it was cooler. I managed to get a 14.4 at 100mph, so imo I believe it was the heat and humidity

I hit a 14.4 with a 2.5 60ft @101...that heat and humidity was a killer! And I couldn't figure out the best way to launch on that track, tried a few different methods and finally hit a 2.33 60ft but i was hot lapping so my times sucked.

What he said. We were all for doing it at Ennis again except they tried to give us a winter weekend again. Is that Dallas raceway people keep mentioning a big public NHRA track or is it private like Hennessey?

Yeah, then I wouldn't get your hopes up about Dallas Raceway. Usually if they run IHRA/NHRA their weekends in the spring/summer are booked solid. :-/

Yea, Austin/Waco would serve better as a big meet/party instead of a car show/raceday.

That's not a bad idea, we'd probably have to do it around Hutto as I'm not sure of other areas around Austin that have wide open expanses of road. Back in NC my friend's RX-7 club used to just get lunch and cruise around once a month. It was fun as hell.

That would work really well as the mid-year idea I was cooking up. (well, if we could find a free lot even better, but yeah)

well mabey we should put it together as a mid year event this year and see how it turns out kinda as a prequel to the bash, if it turns out good we could do it for the bash next year, that would take car of having to have a track give us a date at least for next year
