I took a couple pics but in all honesty the meet was much smaller than I expected and you probably have already seen the Stillen Supercharger a hundred times.
Stillen was there showing all the usual stuff, as well as 'The Chrome Wheel Co.'...these guys supply chrome OEM wheels on an exchange basis.
NNA was there with a NISMO R tune 350 obviously to promote the Nismo line of products
BBT was there and from what I heard Ben is going to be spearheading the Fresh Alloy Project Car team...Congrats Ben
Fresh Alloy did give away some great prizes
Set of Chrome Wheels
Set of Bridgestone Tires
A mini scooter
Stillen intake
The road rally was something not to be believed
Let's just say 90mph on PCH on a Saturday afternoon was not my idea of a good time
(Can you say...Cannonball Run!!!)

90? I was over 100mph to catch up.
It was fun meeting you guys. The drive was a little crazy. I know now not to bring my girlfriend when we're going nuts through the canyon. LOL.
Good drive. It stunk driving all the way out in traffic. My next trip will be down to SD for some mountain runs.

Usually we pad the stats to be even faster, but At one point I was a "few lines" over 100mph. THought it was nice to see the beach and the people on the side of the road blur by.
It's great to live in this area. So many great places to drive. Sorry we lost you, or errr, missed our turn. It was a toss up for me to make the drive out there or down to SD. But being that the SD drive was at 9:30, waking up that early wasn't on my Saturday schedule. It was fun. Scarey to see the FX45 full punch everywhere. I have to say it's nice to have Navigation when the Cannonball run gets lost.

I wasn't the lead car, lol. Or we would have been lost unless everybody was drving back to Chino Hills. The lead car got us lost twice, and then another car took the "lead" and lead us lost. Then I offered a little Pionner Navigation help, which plotted us right behind Ms Daisy and her Mercedes doing 15mph (unitl she pulled over).
That was my firt "check point" driving and I must say that it was a little crazy...but still fun.

When we past the first turn at Mullhulland off Kanan I knew we were in trouble
I didn't feel comfortable with the speed on PCH so I backed off...had you in sight most of the time but when I came around the last turn on PCH before Mullhulland and didn't see anyone I figured you had made the turn and headed back keeping with the "Revised" route...I thought for sure I would be the last one back to the dealership...very surprised when I got there and nobody was there yet Figured that the leader missed Mullhulland a second time

If I knew you knew the way I would have followed you. I guess going triple digits puts some space between cars. Next time I'll know who to follow.

I can't believe I missed this. Would have been great to be in the group at speed on this trip.
Someone better have some videos/pics!
