:flag1:John, Don, James, and the rest of the HPE Staff.

Many thanks for hosting the 2009 Texas Camaro Nationals at your Lonestar Motorsport Park, compliments of HPE. Many Camaro enthusiasts enjoyed the afternoon get together in spite of the hot Texas weather. The event started with a grand tour of the HPE facilities, including the Tuner Schoolroom area, ending with a view of the dyno-jet dynamometer and the new 4 wheel dynamometer. Then off to the patio near the showroon for the debut of the HPE 700 LS9 Camaro by Hennessey Performance Engineering !!!

I happened to be the first non HPE employee to get a chance to ride in this special vehicle. Well let me tell you that as we went down the 1/4 mile strip I stayed pinned to my seat. The power, torque, and speed through the gears was phenomenal. I will post a few pics at the end of the post for viewing. I hope my facts are correct, but I believe John mentioned that only 24 of these collector cars will be built and that 13 are already sold !!! So if anyone is interested, you better get your order in.

Then we drove a bunch of the 2010 Camaros down the the 1/4 mile strip and parked for a group car photo afterwhich the racing began. Some folks enjoyed free dynos and just visiting with the HPE staff and other Camaro enthusiasts. We ended the day with a visit to one of the groups favorite watering holes......Wild Wings off IH-10 West in Katy.

So on behalf of the H-Town Camaro Club, thanks again for an outstanding event and we look forward to an even bigger 2010 Texas Camaro Nationals in the Spring of next year.
