EDIT: Just added quite a few more.

Just a few pictures from our (National Speed's) grand opening. We had over 500 people show up in the span of a few hours, the turn out was great, the dyno sessions were great, and the Gran Turismo 5 competition went a lot better than I thought it would.

A few pictures:

Damn, nice. I thought you guys opened a long time ago though heh...

 

Good stuff

Thanks for sharing the pictures

 

^ Three months ago. We wanted to wait a while to have our grand opening, to work the bugs out of the processes and what not.

Basically, we've yet to advertise, or promote, until now. It's doing pretty damn well with that in mind.

 

Good stuff

CJ needs a LOT more lift though

 

sweeTTT!!!!

 

Thats awesome. The European, Japanese and American turnout is impressive. Its good to see real car enthusiasts and how they get along.

 

Good stuff Jordan. I definitely see a wide market base.

 

That looks to be a really really nice shop from what we can see in the pics

 

Kickass Jordan! A nice mix of cars. Thanks for sharing.
