'98 Talon...gone, but not forgotten

Just as a taste, I'm going to host a couple of my old pictures, since my SO thread killed KaptainMyke'sKasa and forced him to sell a kidney to pay for his bandwidth that month. BRB!

Thursday, a group of us rolled out of Chicago towards Norwalk in a grand caravan. (I didn't capitalize that, as it's not a proper noun.)

Along the way, we picked up people in Indiana and the Michigan crew met up with us. (Michigan would = many red DSMs belonging to guys named Matt and a chicken fucker.) They had not arrived yet when this picture was taken.

Sometimes, being the last person to get drunk can be a good thing. I had only about 4 hours sleep in the 2 days at this point, but Chickenfucker (and my bro, Aaron there) insisted I take the Z to the likka sto.

There were donut holes Friday morning. Shamu loves him some donut holes.

Dude. (inside joke)

Here you can see the group leaving to check out the dyno events at Buschur's.

When the sun set Saturday night, this Best Western had only seen the beginning...

Todd give the Shootout one thumb up. (The other thumb is required for beverage service.)

Drinks were invented, corn was molested, and shockers administrated.

There was even arts & crafts time! Here we see a Portfueler being made. (Note: this trash can took all of 30 seconds to fill.) (inside joke)

Aaron is not from the west side. He is from Indiana. And check out the PVC on the wall! Dino was mystified! (inside joke)

Portfueler! (inside joke)

At the actual shootout Sunday afternoon.





Silver car, lower right is the current fastest all motor 2GNT. Daniel ran a 15.000.

Has anyone seen Bill?

A promise is a promise. I won't post it. (inside joke)

The faster the car, the sweeter the keyring. (inside joke)

Next year, we need more people in this picture imo.



The Shootout will be one of the most exciting events you ever go to. Drunken debauchery pales in comparison. I think anyone who went will agree with me when I say that, it doesn't matter if you join this board the Wednesday before the SO... if you make it to Norwalk, nobody who didn't can call you a n-double-0h-b. So much goes on and you get to know a lot of people. I don't even think it's really about the race. It's about getting together with 2GNTers and having one helluva motherfuckin party.

What happens in Norwalk...

"Dude" Thank you so much for that. Made my night. (I got it running again BTW, so get yours by next August and we'll compare and contrast, which I look forward to greatly I might add.

The SO is really chill. Get there Friday (or whenever, but I like Friday) and chill at the hotels with hundreds upon hundreds of other DSMers who might be the coolest most laid back people ever. Saturday, Buschur has a "show" and dyno open at his shop. Nothing formal, just a chance to hang out. Sunday is race day and is 15 to watch and 35 to race (I think). Probably the most fun 4-5 days you can ever have.

Also, be wary of the countless numbers of people who say they'll go then for some reason come up with "reasons" not to go. Every year 100 people promise they'll go then most back out. This is the true mark of one's dedication to the craft. "Do or do not. There is no try" (To quote a true genius).

It's running again shitheads.

fuck yeah...the shootout rocks. I've been the last two years and will be going this year. I am one of the few that keep my promise about that :p

This year i was the licqor mang, everyone was finding watered down sugar water with a lil bit o booze in it. Leave it to me to sniff out the real shit

As for that pic, driggs, i was kept in the dark on everything this year. I liked it better a couple years back when there was at least a time for a 2gnt intro/meeting at Best Western. This year still rocked though. Jus sucks i don't remember alot of the people i met for the first time.

ANYONE WANT SOME SOCO!?

And he wonders why he couldn't make her happy...and someone obviously hasnt moved on. lol

No need for a DD next year. I'm bringing beer from out of state, and getting shit faced where I'm staying (where everyone is staying for that matter) I can leave my keys with the safe up front and not have to worry about a thing.

NEWIE NEWIE!

will they really hold your keys up front? wow.

just called to verify my reservation. its on fellas. she said 3 nights but then i said the 11th-15th and she said yes. i dont think the 11th-15th equals 3 nights but oh well. will call them periodically to make sure me reservation doesnt "get lost" with all of the flooding that they have comin in.

btw, how big is a king room? that is what i have.

Hey,
I have got to the SO the last 2 yrs. It is the best time ever. Im hoping this yr i will be able to hangout with some of you guys. I was kinda wondering to when everyone will be going down and where they will be staying?? I would like to hang out with this group next year. What ever u do do not miss it. It is a blast!!

everyone here hangs out at the Best Western. regardless of 2gnt being there, that is where the party is anyways.

^^^^^ Brian,

Post that savings strategy in the pits. I want to come up with as many ways as humanly possible to make sure people have no valid excuses for not going. This way, we can seperate the cream from the milk so to speak. You have no idea how annoying I find it when all these people promise to be thre then at the last minute say something like, "I forgot to order my windshield washer fluid, so it won't be in in time to go. Sorry y'all, I can't make it." Those bullshit excuses make me want to womit.

That's such an awesome idea. Props brah. There should be a "getting to the 2005 SO strategy thread".

It's running again shitheads.

The only reason that i will not be there is if i dont get a new tranny by then. But i should have that may March. If i cant stay down there with you guys at the BW can i still hangout with you guys at the SO. But even if i dont get my car done i will jsut have to drive something else. alicia
