Thanks for the pics. Next best thing to being there.

How did the cars get damaged? Did they hit a wall, or each other?

Your pics are AWESOME! looks like you got up close and personal with the VIP/field passes. How was the "tire chunks and reflectors" by the hairpin turn??

How'd our American drifters crash you say?

Maybe it's because they all had this tire tech right here...

(look at right hand)

well. i DID eat alot of tire chunks/dust... there was this silver supra that like to kiss the wall every time where we were, and i could never get a good shot cuz i was always spewed with smoke..

its amazing.. after about an hour of inhaling the stuff.. you start to 'miss' the smell.. burning tire and clutch sorta smells sweet.. heheh..



that blurry white fuzz in the top left corner is the smoke that was STILL coming off that piece of rubber... (courtesy of the skyline)

Thanks...I can repost this to my buddies..they'll get a kick out of it!

By the way BBBT your PE setup was very clean!! I recognized you very early in the morning around 8am but you looked busy setting up the booth so I didn't want to bother.

Hope you had as much of a blast as i did!

MEOW! What a cute picture of the ***** cat.
Thanks for the pics man. I guess we just kept missing each other the rest of the day but we'll hang out more next time. Btw, isn't that Charles with the beer? I should print that thing out and bring it to him tomorrow. I'm going down there anyway. LOL.

Great pix and videos!! Thanks for those. It was nice having my car in the show this year instead of being a sponsor/vendor, I got to see much more of the show and had a lot of fun!!!
