Make the trip out to Arkansas (near little rock) to see Rhino from Gwatney Performance Innovations. He's the bomb around here. To give you an idea, he pulled about 30hp/30tq out of my car AFTER it had been tuned by some numbnuts at Xtreme. If traveling to Rhino is 100% out of the question, then I guess you could settle for dynospeed...just know that it would be settling for less.



Sorry I wasn't able to make the meeting guys. I was out riding Saturday morning and a guy riding with the group wrecked in front of me. He was a good rider but just made a really dumb decision to pass before a turn. (he was new to the group, just met him that morning and he didn't know our rules) Regardless, his life just changed in an instant and it changed mine as well. He was going about 60 to pass another rider (which we don't allow our guys to do anyway), overshot a turn, went into the gravel then into an 8' high embankment and his bike started flipping end for end. It flipped about 2 times while he hung on, then it flung him off, both he and the bike flipped another 2-3 times, he landed face down on the road and the bike over in the ditch on the opposite side of the road. This happened right in front of me and I was the first one to be able to stop and make it to him. When I saw it happen, I thought he was dead. I got to him, carefully rolled him over with another rider and heard him moaning and his eyelids flickering. Within 10 minutes, paramedics were there and about 15 minutes after that, he was airlifted to the med. Myself and another rider in the group went there to see him immediately afterwards. Ends up he has a broken back, broken ribs, and can't feel/move his legs and feet. He just moved here and knew no-one other than work friends. His entire family is in Northern Michigan. I actually was the one to call his brother and his mom. Even though I didn't know the guy other than his name, seeing something like that, thinking he's dead, and speaking with the family is just life altering and really makes you think about what you're doing and the choices you make. I know some of you may not really want to read about something like this, or you'll think we were all just being crazy and riding at ridiculous speeds etc, but just don't judge or make assumptions because you weren't there and you don't know what happened. All I can ask is for some prayers for the man and his family and just remember how quickly things can change based on the decisions you make.

Thank you Greg for saying something before I did. I plan on using Rhino at GPI within the next week or two scheduling around school and work.

Another thumbs up from me for GPI. Only about a 2 hour drive I think.

Greg... wow man that's something I don't think any of us here have had to witness or be directly a part of. Terrible thing for the guy I hope all comes out well.

[GoldCartridgeGamer]

He is in my prayers and thoughts. Sorry it all happened. If anything I can do to help let me know.

You're right Greg...seeing an unfortunate accident like that happen right in front of you certainly puts "life" in perspective. I think all of us are probably a little guilty of taking life and just how precious it is for granted from time to time. Sometimes we fail to acknowledge just how amazingly blessed we are.

Sounds like you did an amazing job caring for your fellow rider and being a great friend to someone you didn't know all that well. We'd all want someone to do the same for us.

I'll definitely keep your friend in my prayers. I'll pray for him, his family, and those who will be providing care to him.

Keep us posted. You did a good job sir.

[GoldCartridgeGamer]

Sarah. Perfect combo, yellow with black rims and yellow calipers. Didn't watch video just saw the car for the video preview.

[Sapphire]

Greg: I'll be praying for your friend. that's just crazy reading what happened.

Eric: yeah that yellow corvette looks great! there's one at Serra that looks just like it.

I enjoyed the meeting we had last Saturday. sounds like we will have some fun next year.

[KC Camaro]

Great season for my boy Dale Jr. as a driver and as an owner. Glad to see JR Motorsports bring home the 2014 Nationwide Series Championship...in a Chevy Camaro I might add.

[Cooley]

Greg, I hope things turn around for your friend. I'll be praying for a speedy and complete recovery.

I'm sorry for not putting the meeting info up yet, I've been busy with work...and a new expansion of an online game I play. I'll put it together soon...the Camaro5 moderators will back me up on the soon part too!! LOL

Y'all made me have a close call...Bar was actually talking about buying me a kilt! Since I have an Irish surname I was able to narrowly miss that proposition!
