Yup. Early May is awesome for me because nothing doing at work and I usually take a little time off right around there anyway. What's the quickest way to Texas I don't like traffic so I will be taking back roads

You can have them if you want them. Paint is not good shape but I'm sure you would strip them down anyway. They are much bigger than factory ss logos. They did seem to be nice fit, size wise.

I kind dig the smaller size so far. I haven't had a chance to walk up on the car from many angles yet though. This is why I don't do cosmetic mods! OCD and performance go perfectly together. OCD and aesthetics are a death spiral.

Thanks for the props brother. Nothing like having the car qualified in the number 1 spot, by 2ish seconds, only to have to leave before the finals because of a preplanned family event.

Did you learn nothing after traveling with the Chicago Caravan? I will travel solo or one or two cars down there and meet within an hour of the fest and then caravan in.

Again, I will run with a few cars, if you can keep up, until within an hourish of the place and then I will join into a large group but I am not running 20ish + hours with that many cars. "Can we pull over? I gotta go potty."

I will bet he was hammered at the time too.

Man, what a weekend. Zeke and his Youngblood were great to hang out with. Meeting the guys from Lethal and chatting with them was cool. Hangin with Jordan from JDP, again, at the Autocross and then in the parking lot was great. Having Danny Popp drive my car in the AC, AWESOME!!!!!! That man is Nucking Futs!!!!!! I am sure there is more I am not remembering but it will come to me.

I did tag one of the black Suburbans with a Monkey Business sticker. Turns out it was none other than FbodFathers, He, he, he.

I can not wait till next year. Even more mayhem will ensue.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
