I think the overall worst part of the whole day was...getting burnt! I usually don't burn, but now I am as red as a freakin lobster! And its a farmers tan too! :banghead:

I had fun though, it was good to meet some people and see their cars from the forums I have talked to but never met, and it was awesome seeing a whole buncha people I haven't seen in quite a while.

i think not displaying the times of the 1/4 times was a mistake, because u don't actually know what time they ran.

i also didn't like how it was a show and shine AND a 1/4 event. it's a good idea but i don't think a lot of people wanted to spend all morning shining their car and prepping their displays THEN go out to race.

that stage with the performers was pretty goddamn useless too.

All I can say, and I wasn't even there, is it's the first time something like this gets organized, it can't be perfect the first time. Especially when you have to move an event like this to another city with a 2 weeks notice.

The organizers have learned what works good and what doesn't work so good. The next one will be even better, and hopfully closer to Edmonton so we can go too.

who the hell were those guys on the stage anyways???

are they tone deaf??? Cause they sang pretty much everything off key.

I'm surprised that I didn't burn. I just got really dark.

I was most disappointed with bikini contest!!!!! I realize the overall the quality of girls wasn't the greatest but there were a couple nice ones and I'm sure they'd probably would have gone under the water to cool down from the scorching heat yesterday. ;)


I agree that they should have the 1/4 mile time up.

My best time was 16.11 in my Spec V. I think that's pretty good considering it was my first time out running the 1/4 mile. But meh!

For me the best part was driving down there with the 20-25 cars that met up at the collasium and also driving home to with about 12 cars. Nothing like ripping past minivans with a bunch of modded imports well above the speed limit!

The cars on display were great too!

:banghead: i missed the bikini contest though.

And yet we wonder why events like these have such hard times being approved by businesses and law enforcement, and why the public image looks at the import scene in such a distasteful preception. Just a thought.:rolleyes:

I have a Racing Beat header, the 3 catalyic converters removed, and 2 1/4 inch piping to a Tsuado dragger style muffler. On most rotary engines when you open up the exhaut like that you get the flames. Oh and i have a cone filter to.
