No, you need to coat the car with an even covering of Summit Racing stickers to gain the applicable hot rod cool guy points.

Wish I could have made it out last night -- had to make up to the wife for working on the car so much earlier this week

So, like Trav, we sat on the sofa watching the Pens dismantle Nashville. I'm lucky to have a sports-nut wife.

And good job on the SS badges, cam.

My wife will be coming with me to the Camaro/Mustang thing. I'll have to talk to her about the thing in Salem. She was born and raised in Boardman, actually. Her parents moved to Delmont after she graduated college, so I was able to visit and view the fun on 224. Do they still do the weekly cruise-in at Chili's?

What's worse is you mentioned yours is a CPA, too. Two CPA's who like sports = freedom for Jamie and Steve.

Oh snap, just ordered my cam kit (tsp 231) and should be able to get it in and tuned before race season. WOOT. I need some drag radials now. Trying to score some 18" rims for them.

Maybe make our own Friday night show -- for people who like to do stuff with their cars rather than just talk about it. A time slip would be required for admittance

Perhaps some sort of regulation on the ratio of stickers/lights to performance mods.

And cam, will you install that cam yourself? Where will you take it to get it tuned?

Also, question for everyone -- where do you go for your inspections? I'm still running around with a Virginia sticker. I was thinking about just running over to Tom Henry. I also need to get the coolant flushed as I'm guessing it's gunked up after ten years of Dexcool fermentation.

Nah, Chilis booted them because... get this... the customers were complaining about the parking...

So... now they get ZERO business because all the cruisers left... taking their wallets with them.

I swear, that town is so behind the times. Becuase a few wrinkled old bags couldn't get in for their early bird special, they got the cruisers booted.

So, the cruise moved the old abandoned Sam's Club parking lot and now the Sports Bar thats right there is booming... go figure. Way to go Chili's!

Im having FJ Performance in export do it. He posts on here as boostedyards86 or something like that, but I got my car dyno'ed there after the long tubes and he impressed me and has a sweet bad ass 10 Camaro as a shop car to boot. I haven't put a cam in for probably close to 15-20 years, and tuning is way beyond me, so I'll leave it to the professionals. I'll just stick with installing 3m hoodpins and stickers!

It used to be the suburb of Youngstown from what my in-laws say. Sort of like Cranberry, though. I feel like the Spanish coming in and kicking the Native Indians out. Transplants like myself aren't letting up -- the beatings will continue!

Ah, that's right by my in-laws house. I've heard of this guy, but not really much else. Does he have a website? I'm going to do my best to tackle my cam install in my garage, but it would be convenient to not have to drive out to Rapid for a tune.
