Well wednesday I worked 9 am to 8 pm and then came home and packed and left, I went to my grandpas for the night (border of IL/IN cause it shaves ALOT of time not having to through Chicago rush hour) So thursday mourning me, my girlfriend, and Vince Morris got up went out to breakfast with my grandpa and then headed out for the bash. We got there about 3-3:30ish. The only other J in the lot was Dave. We checked in got settled in, found Dave and went out to Walmart then to Buffalo wild wings for some dinner. When we came back to the hotel the drinking started. My goal was to be drink IN the pool by 6 pm.... it got slightly delayed but a bottle of vodka and a couple hours later I was drunk in the pool
Thursday night was preaty much just a parking lot party, got to meet alot of new people and put some faces to screen names. I had a blast.
I was real drunk so most of the pics I atempted to take didn't come out except for this one....
Mr. Andy Brooks's Exesive fire looking all sexy in the dark.
Next mourning we got up got some of the free breakfast, I had some crazzy mourning after drinking @!#$s and broke our rooms toliet LOL seriously I had to go to the desk and have them send someone to fix it. But anyways, had to food stayed in bed hung over for a while and decieded @!#$ it, let go see the Simpsons, me the wife, vince, and Dave started to walk out to the car and we started getting yelled out out the 3rd floor window by one of the Iowa guys we met the night before.... 5 minuets later we were all on the way tot he movie (Which was @!#$in AWSOME). We got back from Simpsons and found out having the show at the track was cancelled due to heavy rains the night before so people started setting up in the lot for the car show. We sat out there for while got to hot and hoped in the hotel pool with some of JBOM, anyways onto some of the show pics...
I NEVER expected this to happen but participant voting = the Gay Tan Cav winning 3rd place in the 3rd Gen Street class LOL
The car show was cut short when a microburst form hell decieded to destroy everything leaving the roof of the hotel and the near by tree line raining down ontop of our cars, here just a couple pics I took.
There were alot of people who ended up taking damage, I got hit by a shingle scratching the drivers door along the top edge, making some pretay deep scratches into a big section of the passeneger side of the windshield, the windshield trim , passenger mirror, fender, and the hood all took some damage, the windshield got it the worst but the rest isn't bad it just covers alot of surface area on a few different panels.... money to finish the GTC project
That night again it was back outside in the lot drinking and stuff once night came, I didn't stay out real late, I hit the bed not long after midnight.
Friday we got up and went out to the track. we got there and it was delayed do to rain so me the wife, vince and Phewes went out to the local @!#$ hole serial killer horror movie set that was surpossed to be the restaraunt hahaha so of corse I got a pic there
after lunch we went back to the track and the racing began, first picture I got from the track.....
Andy Brooks broke his @!#$ good, its a good thing the track had there sweet broke ass piece of @!#$ minivan / tow vehicle
luckily that was the only major brake down anyone had this weekend.
The Quick 8 finalists (Speedracer Z with a turbo 2.4 vs. ? with a 3800 supercharged Z in the All out class, and Flying Skwirl vs. Wenzel in the N/A class)
On the way back from the track decieded to have a spontanious highway photoshoot with Phewes, since i was driving I was tell the GF what to do with the cam, she got some good ones although with the seats and harnesses in the GTC she had a hard time moving enough to get my own car out of the pic LOL and its kinda funny, you can see my can in his wheels hahaha.
Once we got back awards were given out and alot of people starting leaving. But last night had to be the most fun, again hanging out with everyone in the lot drinking etc.. I have to say JBOM is a blast when they have been drinking hahah.
The next mourning some people were going out to Cedar Point for the day, I wanted to go but the girlfriend doesn't do roller coasters plus she has to work tommarow AM early, so we hit the road and headed home. I let her play with the camera in the car to keep her happy and I told her I would post up a couple of them hahaha.
of course the ride home was the first legitimate nice day of the weekend....
a random picture out the window on the Chicago Sky Way
Sweet home Chicago
And a picture of the never ending Chicago traffic jam, Sunday about 2:30-3:00 in the afternoon and cruising about 15 mph down the highway. The sad thing is this the usual LOL
Again it was great meeting everyone, the MI guys, the Iowa guys, everyone from out east, the local Ohio guys, etc... I really did have alot of fun, this was only my second bash but despite the weather and everythign ese this was my favorate.
