Whiiird. I was just coming in to post up that I miss the SO. :(

I wish the shootout was this weekend. After going to my first one last week, I wouldnt miss the next one even if I had to push my car there. And I almost ended up pushing it home this year.

This year i will be putting my car on the track!

That's why you plant it outside the track entrance and scatter the trans parts across the road and have your passengers attest to the situation. =)

DAMNIT....

:censored

Unless some scheduling changes either for the shootout (which it won't) or my sister-in-law's wedding in Poland (fat polish chance of that happening) then I won't be going. Her wedding is the EXACT SAME WEEKEND as the shootout.

Well, I know while I'm there I'll be getting plastered with all the vodka they'll give me, missing the chance to see everyone again.

Good thing they only serve the best vodka during Polish weddings.

shit, it's looking more like a reality with the fire >_<

Well from what I have seen and read, I have missed quite a bit... Let's just say that life has thrown me a lemon and I am desperately trying to make lemonade... Unfortunately I think that I keep ending up with someone pissing in my face!

Now planning for SO '09! Maybe I can bring some of the KY DSMr's... Damn that just doesn't look right!

Hey, did any of the SoVa guys make it up this year? I don't hear from them anymore...

i dont think any of sova made it. if they did they were hiding.

I am such an ass for not remember his name, but SoVa was represented by the cool guy with the GVR4. He went and got all of you Taco Bell one night, remember?

(Sorry I forgot your name, boss. Been a crazy couple-a months.)

EDIT: Tim! It was Tim!

If you have lemons to make lemonade, you need to find someone whos life as thrown them vodka. Then throw a party!

One of my favorite Ron White jokes :P

Hell Yeah! I'm going again next year, it was great last year! Maybe this year I can get some rest before the 10 hour road trip though. And MAYBE I can actually show up in the eclipse and not the Yaris!(n)

Hell ya! Anyone going from Ca? I'm goin from L.A. to Cinci, pickin up a babe I know and headin on up. Open to any road buddies along the way for a caravan.

Paul

I am definately planning on the shootout this year.. never been, looking forward to it.....im from cincy if there is anyone in the area or on the way who would want to meet up and drive together would be a good time.

Im going but im just going to mess around on the track. 8:1 je and no turbo...im slower than the stock. All for the fun, i cant wait to see others tho. put me down as SAH list (Slow As Hell) lol

I must respectfully and very regretfully renig on the 2009. That girl I was picking up in Cincinatti has to be here in L.A. that week. Wah!

lol

one more thing, how much is the dino shot out going to be. is it like the best dino time or something.

Hear that Dino? ur shot out, lol. Correct me if I'm wrong but I belive I read the dyno was out this year or only for turbos. Wish I could make it but 2010 is do or die. I already have a special piggy bank with a few $ in it getting ready to go.

It seems like the dyno is going to just be awd?

They do FWD cars last, late in the afternoon if at all. IIRC, last yuear they eliminated FWD cars from the dyno competition, as there were only a handful that entered out of the day's worth of dynoing cars.

i wish that i could go on it but it would be pointless. it would want it to tune my car. if the price is right i would dino it to see how much im putting out.

Im still debating on going..

Dont wanna blow my car, but i would enjoy getting to run on the track!

I dunno, ill see how the money goes, if everything is good ill chance it.
