Well, the weather was a big issue (Doug is no longer allowed to provide us with weather maps ), but for those of us who braved the elements, we had a blast up at Langley

There were 8 of US there, but it was rather intimidating because along with us were 40 (give or take a couple) police cruisers/trucks/vehicles with lights flashing and sirens going.

I can honestly say that the crowd was not as impressed by the police as they were with us. We didn't get too wild out there, but it is safe to say that all of us who were there lost several hundred miles off our tires tonight.


I honestly think though that the highlight of the evening had to be the being able to light up the tires, smoke the tires, break the back end loose, in front of all those and not one ticket to be had.

Wayne, Brian...no track for me tomorrow...it was my HB you were hearing on the track Brian ...the good part of it is though, I was finally making a loud noise in the tunnel...the bad news, it was my car squealing.

I had a great time.......but even better was spending quality time with my son. I hope to hell he does not drive like me when he is older. Long day with the carshow in Richmond, Langley and then time @ Bass Pro. I am wore out fellas. I enjoyed meeting some new faces and hope to do more fun things in the future...............especially long burnouts.

Just a few quick shots:

Did you actually make it home, or did you have to stop somewhere and buy a new set of rear tires on the way? I have seen cars in the ghetto smoke less then your tires did last night....the crowd LOVED it.

Default Track Photos

For those of you who were at the track last night, there was some interest, so I have sent an email to Terry, the track photographer, to see about getting us in touch with the people who were out there on the track taking pictures. Once I hear back from him, I will post more information.
