Over all it was a kick *** event and I am now addicted. It was my first event and like everyone says, there is nothing else like it. The rush of diving at over 100mph into a cornor is amazing. The spoon calipers + P+'s rocked and I was able to break so late that it was able to get me up to cars that had many more mods then me (Still could not pass KitKatR, damn JUN boy on the straights walked away from me).

Big props to Wes and the crew, you guys rocked and made it happen.

Here is the AC pully that broke, the bolt snaped, anybody ever have this happen before?




Craig - Who is glad to be home and very very tired

Will

 

Sounds like a blast!!

Brian

No, they locked the track fence so we were not able to get out at night

I can't find the picture of the beer tub girl (I know someones got it, I've seen it), but here is Dave w/ some fire

 

Nice meetin' j00 coin. I wish I coulda seen that t00n pr0n

A PY (snake01 on here) broke the same bolt on his way home from visiting the expo mon. A/C is overrated anyway.

All time funniest moment of expo:

Watching Buttcoin run around like a redheaded stepchild while roman candles burned his *** from multiple directions. He was getting owned so bad he couldn't even aim his own weapon and his shots came out in random directions. olo so funny.

 

craig, i got 2 pics of you with beer tub girl, one of her giving you a hug and the other of you getting her number . pics should be up this weekend

Brian

 

Fawk this weekend... here are some more pics... (well one right now, more to come about every 2 minutes )

Me lifting a tire Azenis own


Craig - Who thinks KitKatR and Pat should be offical photographers of the event

 

hey nickle,
good to see you made it home....

thanks for getting my back with the open header!
we thought you were gonna get booted when phil came over the 3rd time!!

late

 

it takes time resizing 260 pics then trying to upload them via 56k

Brian

 

Not quite sure why nobody wanted to eat with us at the banquet

 

Ed's offical cooler of ITR expo 2002

Open header = loudest car on the track.

You drove into town like that! Wish I could've seen that.

 

One bad thing about that, everybody can hear me mis shift
What was even nicer, was the cop sitting at the interstate on ramp, and me at the red light there with no drivers license, no registration, a beer can under the seat and an open header. I have never left so slow from a stop light in my entire life

Craig - Who liked watching the photo guy hold his ears as he went by

Nice cooler.

 

Or when you're on the gas or not. When you passed turn 1, it was like "BAAAAAAAAA....... (silent).........BAAAAAAAAA" I wanted to ask you, "hey why did you let off the gas!"

 

Same thing happened to me with the AC Pulley as well!

 

Corner 1 was a bitch.. i took it like 30 different ways and still could not find a fast line through it
