<out of breath> ive got some pics of you guys racing (side shots) while i was in the inspection line, but someone needs to tell me how to reduce the size to <100 mb. also i have some shots of mumbles and sick, but they license plates are visible and didnt want to take any liberties with their privacy. Ron, i appreciate the vote of confidence. it is definitely something i would want to do again, only with better results. its just one more thing that i can now take off of my "to do before they plant me" list

sounds like u guys had a great time!!!

i cant wait to do my first run... its gonna happen this year!!!! :eek: :eek:

RUN ON YELLOW RUN ON YELLOW.. hahaha.

I'm more worried about the burnout than you guys are... my low powered N/A 2JZ needs a good enviroment to do a burnout.. not just anywhere! i'll probobly skip the burnout

I'm glad you guys had fun!! But unfortunatly the pics aren't working right now so i guess my imagination has to draw the picture of dexter's blue GS with a 1/4 mile of white smoke behind it!

Gee, thanks!
Seriously, it was great hanging out with you guys, and gal (Everyone is correct, Krista may be the coolest GF ever!). We know what our cars are really capable of, too bad none of us could bring it out (Maybe we should have let Krista drive 'em )
Probably the most exhilarating part was the ride to dinner... Picture a train of GS's and an NSX doing 90 - 100 mph down the freeway, weaving around slower cars, and getting lots of attention... it was way cool! Bahama Breeze is the *****, their food is awesome. Don't remember who suggested it, but thanks!
So, to everyone involved, thanks for the memories and lets do it again soon! C-Ya.

Outstanding!

I'm glad that you guys had a blast out there. It would be really cool to hook up with that many GS at the track. Don't sweat the times, you get better every time you go out. Sounds like a great time and I wish I lived closer

Here are pics of that Black Supra that hit the wall:

My buddy in a red stock Supra said he ran a 14.00. He said the track was very slippery and he said he would never go back because it was so unorganized.

Shoot, I live in the suburbs of Atlanta and wished I live closer too! I'd be really interested to see your car run! I know you haven't had the SC for too long, but do you have any regrets?

ouch that car looks like its in real pain... poor supra.

although it is much better than i had pictured in my head.... looks like some new body peices and paniting should fix it up.. hopefully the front fram isn't damaged. other than that he just needs what looks like a hood, frotn lights, front bumper, passenger fender, passenger rear fender and re-paint the rear bumper. and 2 new wheels or get 4 18s or something... really to bad.

do you guys know what happend? did he start to drift right and then turn left to try and save it but clip the wall? thats my gues....
