570, To those of you who went to the Shootout...
Posted by Shockeclipse, Jul-20-03 05:57 PM
I just wanted to say that I had a great time there. I got to meet a few of you and had the opportunity to talk to others. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the meeting due to the fact that my girlfriend and I got toasted on saturday and were too burnt to continue, so I drove home but decided to make the trip back again for sunday. If all goes well I should have my car completely done for next years shootout (not that it matters because I doubt I will race at all) and I look forward to seeing everyone there.

hellllllllllllllllllls YEAH! The shootout was awesome. It was cool meeting some of you guys. Everyone seemed cool. And for the springfield guys, how long did it take you to get back? It took me about 5 hours to get from norwalk to milwaukee. I'll be back next year with a much more powerful car than this year.

It took us about 8-9 hours I think, with which 1-2 was spent on the 80/90 moving at a crawl! :-( (We had left the Shootout a few hours early in anticipation for the long trip.)

Anyways, I had a terrific time. It was definitely nice meeting everyone, and having faces, personalities and all the rest to go along with the usernames!

It was a really good shootout.

The highlight for me was defenitely seeing so many 2gnt members there! I was looking forward to that for a LONG time! I'm glad I got the chance to finally meet everyone!

Hey Todd, what were those dyno numbers anyway? Did they ever get that girl's talon off the dyno or are they still working on it ;)?

If memory serves... 135 hp and 130 ft-lbs... (but my memory is very unsure). It's nice to be up on top of the dyno while she's running. Thura and me got to play with cam gear settings, in between Todd's runs.

And please be more sepcific as to which Matt D. with the Red HRC Eclipse from Michigan, you are talking about. ;)

It was a great year, next time I'll stay closer top the anouncement speakers so I don't miss my class being called.

*edit* really drawing a blank if those numbers are right or not, Thuura and Dino have a disk of the dyno chart.

Hell yeah guys, that was fun as hell. I think hangin out, drinkin, telling stories, was almost as much, if not more fun then the actual shootout. All you guys are cool as hell, and i'll be honest, some of you turned out to be completely different that what i imagined hehe..it was great to finally get to match the name and personality of you guys. That was a great time, see you ALL next year! I cant wait to see some of the pics and the vids of all this. :)

yes, those numbers are correct

I wish I had more time out there! I didn't get to talk to some people as much as I wanted to!

It was a great weekend I will be back next year! Got to see a bunch of 2gnt cars and people there and some bad ass 4g63s as well. Talked to dino and a few others for a few minutes by the dyno and listen to him "talk" with the chic I was with about 4g63's vs 420s. I also talked to a few of you at BW (BTW who was it that looked at the pics of my buddies wrecked civic lol).
