Another epic meet this year... very special thanks to Ryan and Heather for being amazing hosts yet again. I think everybody is slow to post pics as they get back into real life. I have class tonight, or else I'd be posting everything up!

But for now I'm just going to put up a single picture to get the ball rolling :wink:

I was really planning to attend this event all year, but ran into issues with my parents car and they needed mine to see my grandma in Illinois. I was very bummed to not attend, have been waiting to see all the pictures to see the fun I missed! (maybe I dont want to see them as I will be pissed...haha)

I'll get around to posting some of mine this evening, I've been swamped since getting back home. I didn't even unpack until last night!

But it was definitely a great time once again Ryan, thanks to everyone that showed up, you all made the weekend very worth the 15 hour drive, haha!

I was glad that I managed to go this year. Had lots of fun!! I know I spent a good amount of time watching and enjoying Jerry work on his brakes, ha! Anyway, it was good seeing everyone, new and old faces, and it was great of Ryan and Heather to host this meet!!

Anyway, I've been busy as well, still need to get pictures off my camera, and I need to get those 720p track videos off my Xoom. It will probably be a few days before I get everything together and uploaded.

That's a great starter pic! I thought it was awesome rolling through town to the parts store, and impressing everyone with our mini convoy, and especially when Kyle and Peter let loose their G8's!!

I have some videos too but I'm not sure how they came out,Ill post those later.

Then on the way home this happened :banghead:
Image

I was driving home from the track and about 20 minutes from my house the car started shaking real bad and I pulled off the freeway to check it and I found this
Image

I'm not sure what exactly caused that, but thanks to my awesome girlfriend, she came and brought my tools and we went and got a new hub assembly and I fixed it in the parking lot that night. Even though that happened, it was still a great weekend.

15.004 @ 93mph. 79 degrees F, 945' elevation. New summer rubber really helped.

Just a front trans mount (current one is busted, made worse during the meet) might net 14's! I'm thinking FWI too...

*dang* Ryan, that could have been much worse had one more lug stud snapped. :eek2: Glad you got that worked out though!



Never got around to posting any of my stuff yet, still uber busy.
But I can tell you I ran a 14.50 at the track with the '01, on the 3.6 MPS. The '93 ran a 16.3 and crossed 200k miles on the way back from the track!

I was not at all impressed with the cutlass. Last year I ran a 13.77 @ 99 MPH with a 2.0 60 ft, this year so far I pulled a best of 13.77 @ 100 MPH with a 1.9 60 ft. I should have been much better this time out as I am now no longer running a power robbing flex fan and also slapped on a Holley 750 and ditched the Edelbrock 600. For some reason the car just seems to fall on it's face and make no power after 4,000 RPM. My cam makes power from 2,000 - 6,000 RPM and I have the heads and exhaust to easily flow that. Next on the list is ditching the Edelbrock Performer intake manifold for my newly acquired Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. The performer intake is only rated to 5,500 RPM and the performer RPM intake is rated to 6,500 RPM so I am hoping that will help.
