Well, I have to say I think this gathering has been my favorite so far. It was really mellow, no big breaks, and got to meet a few new people.
It was cold, but that was really the only crappy thing about the whole gathering... and I learned a few things.
- Bart can get his voice pretty high pitched when he wins. (Dewey.. help us!)
- I got the tire...
- Cheezy needs more drifting practice on the PS2, but in real life he is a pro. 
- Paul likes Brandon's tail.
The trip home was pretty uneventful until we got about 50 miles from home when I spotted a 4 door Civic.. baby blue with clear tails, dual exhaust and big spoiler. I rolled up next to him, revved a bit and then cruised up and past.. then from about 40 punched it and got sideways. He drove up revving to about Eleventy Billion RPM. I tried to get pictures of the car but my camera was dying on me. He came up next to me and was making the "roll the window down" motion.. he asked about the car and was pretty nice actually.. when he turned off to get gas I punched it again and got REAL sideways, but, my awesome NFS: Underground drifting skills came in handy and I made it look pro. Phew. 
Anyways, I had a great time, thanks everybody who came and Mike for giving me, my sister and Tony a place to crash. My neck will never be the same. 
And on to the pics!
Mike, signing up the Sled
The ScumAway Fog Machine
Cheezy's Most Extreme Igloo Purge
Justin - The Anti-Rice
The AntiRice's very clean 50k mile new toy...
"I've got an e-brake!!"
Dewey - "Right here is where it's gonna happen."
"Please, if something breaks, let it hit Bart!
Bart looking too confident...
Well, that's it for tonight... I'm gonna eat something and hit the sack. If you guys got some good pics, post em! 
-Joe

Sweet, it is nice to see some faces to match with the names.
I am jealous, this was a three day weekend for me and everything, but the car is just sitting on jackstands.
Maybe next time.

Subtract maybe and then you'll be good to go, it's not all about the cars anyways... I am a sellout and I made it.

Well location still matters, I'd have a hard time trying to steal my dad's Rodeo for a weekend in Oregon.
But you never know..
I suppose someone could always pick me up

pictures look good and you had an intertaining story you should have gotten a picture of john after the third run when you could barely see his head over the door.
Cheezy and Brandon can compete for who can fill the room with more smoke/steem next year.

No Bart, Joe understands that sinking feeling when you find out you did bad on the dyno, and got beat. he wouldn't take a picture so the poor guy has to relive the memory.
Joe,
its too bad mike and i didn't have a video camera with us on sunday, we had quite the time trying to stop for a 15mph hairpin from 70 in the rain  . would have been great sound from in car.
John -- Car in front
"hmmm, i pushed the brake pedal harder, but i'm not stopping fast...DOH its not turning either... hmmm, mike is getting closer to my bumper... crap, i hope i make this turn... well this could get interesting hear comes the corner... better check my mirror for mike again...damn he is close... well here goes nothing!!!"
Mike -- Car in back
" i smell my brakes burning, eh. this could be a problem if john stops any faster, eh. maybe i can drift around this corner hmmm, i'm getting closer. damn, my brakes really smell bad, eh"
luckily we both made it around the corner rather uneventfully |

"A little more and I think the fronts will lock up. hmmm. Now is not the time to test the brakes! DUDE!!"
I got some pics of my own and some from the Sunday morning drive. Click here. That was after John and I changed my rad cap and thermostat, which WAS stuck half open. Why can't every road be like that one.  Got to smell my brakes in the rain. |

LOL, yeah.. so, if we dyno next year and dont get the results we want.. should we start that support group?
And it sounds like you and Mike had a fun time Sunday, I guess just give Mike that extra radio since I forgot my coat and cell phone, not to mention the crew stickers in Jesses car. I was on top of everything on Sunday.
