Here's your answer to question 1.




It's Steve that has the front plate. Why? I don't know.

Nice pis Leo! I like the local talent the best!
Trying to compete against my WESTEC video?

No mention of our illegal street race? That was one of the day's highlight!

Nice pics of the Good Guys Show.

Congrats on the 1 lb burger. Doesn't sound like much, but I guess when you add the bun and all the toppings it isn't as easy as a 16 oz steak.

Oh yes, I see that is Steve now. Different county?

Thanks. I agree which is why I'm disappointed none of you took more pics. Hopefully Richard comes through with some money shots.

Nope.

OK if you insist. Bill and I had another showdown today and he beat me fair and square unlike last time. Thanks again you see whay you missed.

Thanks. Nope it's just that Bill,Brian and myself are rebels. CA requires front plates but most car people here run without front plates.

I remember Susan talking about being a rebel, but don't remember you guys saying that you were trying to get away with it.

Nice pics, both of the mustangs and those exotics.

I've only seen one Lambo in VA beach.

We usually get some new Z06's and sometimes a viper that head up to cruise-ins my way, but that's usually it in terms of high priced cars.

I specifically told my Dealer to NOT drill into the front bumper or even think about installing the front plate.

... or to wax it either.

I have a plan if I ever get popped for the 'no front plate'. I'll just tack it on using double side tape and get it signed off.

I didn't see too many 'opportunity' shots from today. But, you managed to capture a few!

Unlike the last time?? Hey buddy, getting caught with your pants down is no excuse!

Well....had a great time today. It was cool seeing Bill, Chris, Brian and Leo.

I thought the StopLight grand prix was fun as !@$#. Zachary kept talking about it all the way home, But he said that the Red (Bill) was first, the Blue (Me) was Second, and the Black (Leo) was third...Who want's to argue with a 10 year old? Nevermind the fact that he's my kid I really did miss third!!! We all know about the 3rd gear lockout at WOT.......That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

We'll have to have a rematch the next time we get together. I thought I did pretty good. Especially since I'm running completely stock, compaired to the Bamachip boys.

Brian and Bill, you guys missed out on a killer car show. there must have been about 1000 cars there. The only thing that sucked was having to park out in a dirt parking lot. Both Leo's and My car's looked like we went through a dust storm.

Hope to get together again soon. It was a pleasure hanging out with all of you!!!

What Bill isn't mentioning is that there were only three lanes from which to race. I ain't afraid of showing Bill how to race.
I even learned something.
1) I have to get sequential tail lights
2) My car needs a front spoiler front fascia whatever... CDC Classic again leading the way.
3) I really like the looks of the DG Louvers. I wish they were more like the CDC ones but hey what can you do ?

It was great meeting Steve and Zach. Why do the waitresses assume the little skinny guy DIDN'T have the heart-attack platter ??
It was a cool show and plenty of cars. I only wish that I actually went to the GoodGuys show. That would ahve been cool dust or no. Can't wait to hang out again.

So.. here is a quick snippet of what I shot the rest is in photobucket. Full Gallery



and last but not least... I give you the "Broom"

Leo got 3rd?


We all know about the 3rd gear lockout at WOT.......That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!
First I heard of it. I missed 4th once during one of my high speed runs, but always hit 3rd 100% of the time.


We'll have to have a rematch the next time we get together. I thought I did pretty good. Especially since I'm running completely stock, compaired to the Bamachip boys.
Wait.. were we supposed to give full throttle?


Brian and Bill, you guys missed out on a killer car show. there must have been about 1000 cars there. The only thing that sucked was having to park out in a dirt parking lot. Both Leo's and My car's looked like we went through a dust storm.
I heard from Leo about this dirt parking lot.
I'm sorry, but nice cars or not, I would've ate the $ whatever parking and beelined outta there! Seriously, my car's allergic to dust.



Hope to get together again soon. It was a pleasure hanging out with all of you!!!
Same here, Steve.
Going to the Knotts show with Leo? I'll be there (as an observer).

Do I hear a challenge? I know you come from a long heritage of racers, but to go up against the Pineapple Express is not recommended.
(I know, you guys can't wait have me eat my words, huh? )

I was successful in hypnotizing Brian with my sequentials! Had him staring at them for hours!

+1 on the CDC Classic.

Yeah, you need some kind of louvers on the quarters. Your car looked nekked next to our 3.

Come on, it'll live. Then again it was probably in shock for how far it was driven today

I'll be at Knott's as an observer only. Not enough money and time to get done what I want to get done.

Yours, then Leo and Steve's... I've sequential envy

Like I said I'm digging the DG louvers

Brian-
1) I have to get sequential tail lights

Yes you do.

2) My car needs a front spoiler front fascia whatever... CDC Classic again leading the way.
Yes get the CDC classic in matte black. Worst case scenario you can take it to a paint shop and have it painted in VB.

3) I really like the looks of the DG Louvers. I wish they were more like the CDC ones but hey what can you do ?
Ah yes that's my dream louver maybe somebody will make it.

Why do the waitresses assume the little skinny guy DIDN'T have the heart-attack platter ??
I thought it was funny though. They automatically assumed it was you and Steve. I'm still not hungry.


Bill/Steve
Leo got 3rd?

I was 2nd for sure. I didn't see Steve untill I'd already let off the gas.

Man, your pics are so much more clear compared to our 'point and shoot'.
I gotta get me a digital SLR. Which model do you have? Does it have an internal flash? Movie capture capabilities?

Touchy.. touchy.

Leo, set aside all your track experience.. manual transmissions are not to be underestimated.

Check these pics I found on SocalStangs. They look amazing.
