First off, I have a HUGE list of people that need to be thanked before I do anything,

My first run down the track I decided to keep the 19s on just to see what she would do... Well she broke, and broke good

the track was still super sticky at the low end, and I wheel hopped BAD, before i could even process the thought to let off the gas through my brain, BAM something snapped.. looks like i took out the passanger side axel, and that took the diff with it..

the amount of people who helped me push my car back over to my spot, and imediatly started working on my car was overwhelming, and then even came back to the track after we had already left to help push it on the trailer. So if I forget one of you, It is not intentional, there were just so many of you I couldnt possibly remember all of them..

first the guys from Canada.. Darren (gtp sunfire) and chris (sweetness) I swear I have never met a Guy from canada that wasn't uber nice, and these guys take the cake.. these guys were in there before we even stopped pushing the car.. I swear they wanted it back on the track more than I did...

Then the guys from J-bom, help with pushing, and the use of their tools, Clyde jumped under the car ( he is even smaller than me ) to help pull my axel out, and got a face full of hot axel grease as a thank you.. and never missed a beat..

the guys from wisconsin, chris ( GAVE me an axel ) like seriously, who does that anymore? Dugan, and brian also came on over to help try and figure things out..

PJ, thefake05, the gxp project, Geeds, Chewey, chad, and many many more also deserve a big thumbs up... Like I said, I am so overwhelmed with the amout of people who were willing to throw in a hand to help that I couldnt possibly remember all of their names..

And an even bigger thanks goes out to Paul, his Friend Danny, Danny's dad, and girlfriend, for coming out to the track at like 9 or 10 pm, loading up my car, and taking it home.. I swear, I had Barely even met this guy earlyer that day... and he was there with one phone call to drive my car back home...

And last but not least I have to thank Shannon... She sat back and watched me thrash on this thing for 4 weeks, barely doing anything else, just to take it out and break it on the first run down the track, and never said a word.. If it made me happy, she was happy.. It is rare to find that, so I have to thank her too

I am still amazed at the quality of people that are on this board, and show up to our bashes, and is a big reason of why i continue to visit this place on a daily basis, and will never miss a bash..

So a BIG THANKS! goes out to all of you that showed up, If I missed your name please pat yourself on the back, and shake your hand for me..

Now onto the bigger story..

The bash itself..

PAUL is the man.. this guy got so many things thrown at him threwout the weekend, and never missed a beat, for those of you reading the comments by a few of the whiners... ignore them, this was buy far the BEST bash I have ever attended.. I know through conversations Paul and I had, we wanted this to be about the people, and bringing them together to share and interest.. and I belive Paul pulled that off.. I for one had a GREAT time, even with the storm, and breaking the fire, I wouldnt have changed a thing... I even came back after my car got towed home to hang out.. Thank you Paul, and I will be back next year, you made it happen, I don't go to the bash to win a show, I don't go to win a race, I go to hang out and have a good time, And this bash was just that!

Also thanks to all that voted for the Xsiv Fire... Never Expected to place in the wild class, let alone take 2nd!

Had a blast hanging out with you and Shannon (as usual) & everyone else in attendance.

Great people like you are what makes the Bash what it is......a great time.

get that diff fixed and do us all a favor and don't ever launch with 19s on again! HAHAHA!

It was a blast, I'm glad things worked out for you with the trailer! I'm glad it wasn't me but I am glad I was able to help!

You are so right about Fetter's car, it must be seen in person! No picture I have seen so far has done that car any sort of justice!

Paul, thanks for goin thru with this! It wasn't the biggest turnout I have seen but it was by far the best! I am sooooo looking forward to next years! To hell with next year, I wanna do another next month, or just take a bunch of you guys home with me! I HAVE TWO EXTRA BED ROOMS!!!! There is a dyno twenty minutes away and a track about an hour away! HINT HINT WINK WINK!

My g/f had the camera and got a vid of when you broke. I think the best part is how she said she was zooming in on you trying to get a pissed off look on your face, but you just had a big ol' grin the whole time. She was almost right across from where you stopped.

Nice pics....Raven and I are hoping to plan to go next year....good to hear you guys all had a good time.


Now Boosted...rockin 2007 cobalt ss supercharged!!!!

very sweet pics man.

I'm heading down to the jbo bash next year for sure. Darren (gtp sunfire) was telling me how great it was...I can not wait to go for sure!

sucks about the car but glad you had a good time. from your pics it looks like there was a decent amount of cars showed up. wished i could have made it out.

You can have a side of my car any day of the week. Just let me know.

Great hanging out, me and the other half are staying in North Royalton until tomorrow night. DTP said you're not far, which means next time we're down here visiting her parents I'm coming over! Fair warning.

I used to be in the city next to royalton.. now just 20 mins west... not far at all

time it right and you can help drop the tranny i fraged

lol

Im very sad....

yea man sorry i couldn't help more.. .you're the second drivetrain casulty I experienced at the bash... juggalozeke cruised with us for about 3 miles before his engine took a dump.

get her fixed and bring it out next year =D

I love the flatness btw!


ps does anyone else have toruble viewing the last like 20 pictures in the long threads of pics? nothing comes up on either of my computers =\

i'll fix it soon, going to save a little and buy a clutch and flywheel as well since i will have the tranny out..

as for the pix.. that just means you are using firefox.. I have been using IE to veiw the bash pages, and then resume to normal firefox viewing later, unless anyone knows how to change this??

and pj, if you want any of these pix let me know.. I have 3mp versions of all of them
