it was a racetrack.... but it was track for RC cars lol
good pics. not sure if i met you or not.....i was out in the lot the whole time.
Nice pics and was nice to meet ya. Look at this way, atleast you didn't blow it up like you planned, lol
Yea we were pretty pissed when we drove down looking for the track and nothing was there. We asked locals and they said there was no track around there, then I called the number and the guy said it wasnt the racetrack lol. I was also told the track was closing at 9pm nd it was 8:15, so we bought a gps right there and headed back to the hotel lol.
Tabs yea I met ya, didnt know who you were until you said "Im tabs"..haha.
And for anyone else who I didnt get to meet or doesnt remember me, Im the crazy guy with the m45 ld9 with 2.6 pulley, trying to spray a 75 wet shot on a stock bottom end
I'll get some more pics up later and try to get some dyno videos up.
Hey mike it was nice meeting you on friday.. that sucks to hear about the track, we didnt get there till 825.. after 1.5 of driving, and then we got one run in, you didnt miss anything trust me lol
.

oh god you should have seen the look on wade's face when that old hag at the gate said 'now we are closing in a half hour, do you still want to run?' 'eh yea... we didnt just drive an hour and get LOST to not run but it would be nice to get a price break or something' 'nope, sorry, regular prices still remain'
and the track was junk, timing was junk anyways. i was there when you were calling wade trying to find the place so i know how pissed you were. LOL
trust me mike, you DID NOT miss a damn thing. although... i was looking forward to seeing what that thing could do (even a solid pass down the strip without MELTING the engine down) to!!!!! LOL
me too...didn't have much of a choice...but it wasn't bad when you knew the way and was able to go straight there
Sounds like Paul is 0-2 on tracks!!!
(or is that 0-3 since wasnt last years track the "backup" track?)

wow someone actually to a picture of my car. i'm suprised. also what happen to the indigo blue photoshoot?
Yea I know there were quite a few people that got lost looking for the track. Talked to Wade who said he was with a few, passed vincent morris when we had turned around, and my friend said he saw a few in a parking lot down by where we were but when we turned around to find them they were gone. Idk...guess Ill have to get back to the track soon, atleast then I can blow it up here in MD
But I should be able to get my bigger injectors in and get some tuning done before I go so I wont lean out as much, even though a 75 shot is still a hell of alot to throw at it haha.
SpeedRacerZ- I took many more pics and spent alot of time looking at the motor, love that idi cover! Also took some dyno vids Ill post soon, that thing had my ears ringing after its dyno runs! Think it made like 315whp at 4500rpm, just dumping fuel pretty much. I was sad when I didnt get to see it run at the track
J.R.Thompson- Of course I had to take a pic of your car, its indigo hottness! I would have loved to get an indigo shoot, my car was parked away from the show most of the time though haha.
Once again I had a blast! Already looking forward to next year, my car should be much faster and more show worthy by then!

No problem Dave, it was cool meeting you too and yea it was damn hot out. lol. I only put down 178whp on the dyno dynamics, didnt even get any dynojet runs but they would have been around 210 with the 18% increase. I was also leaning out alot so that was hurting me. He had to keep shutting me down, and I didnt have hpt there with me to make changes. I wanted to get to the track so I could use the spray and get some good times, whether I blew it up or not
I better see your car on that dyno/track next year! haha
Sorry didnt get any track vids, being as I didnt make it to the track lol. Some of the dyno vids werent too great as most of the ones I took people were having issues, but Ill upload them soon.
