Once again, what an awesome event!

Oh and I'm the dude with the blue WRX :) I had to make a new username on here due to my old email associated with my old username being shutdown.

It was good to meet everyone, and it was definitely nice to Autox for the first time since the last NICOfest I went to....two years ago :rotfl

I cant wait till next year! Who knows what I'll be driving by then though lol

It was awesome to meet everyone.
I had a blast of a time (even tech inspecting a load of cars!)
Enjoyed giving Wes' car a bit of a run on the auto-x, even though it was a little wet on the track.
People were legendary, burgers were delicious, and the newspaper article was hilarious.
Hopefully I can make it back again one day.

Hello Jenn and/or James!

My pics have been uploading for about an hour now, and still aren't done. I'll upload them here and crash NICO's server when they're done.

Hey guys, So awesome seeing (or meeting) all of you. What a fun event. I'm lovin' the pics.
just a few of the many many highlights for me:

ordering a "purple drank" at Fridays...and they knew exactly what it was...

watching Sky blast a borrowed Sentra around the course, flashing a huge smile while locking up the tires right after the finish line

The "Audi Experience". (I do hope they made it home okay).

Our early Sunday morning Texas Death Match golfcart race pitting Magikdragon and I in the cart against DJButton on foot. One lap. We lost..uh...badly.

Watching Rob in that Blue S13 put together a memorable drift session on Sunday. Everyone that drifted did great, but the man was dialed in.
I'm hoping someone caught it on tape.

Watching the red miata do some beautiful pirouettes around the last few cones on Sunday afternoon. Some very nice car control

Spending some time on track with Ray (frapjap).

Watching the guy in GT-R smoke the course and getting close but NOT beating James (blue RX8) who had the quickest time of the weekend.

Back to biz. the nice folks at SCCA, to whom I want give a major thanks for offering us their time and equipment all weekend, will be emailing me all times by car number. I'll post up the best time by car number upon receipt.

This is why you want a temp gauge that works...fence didn't help either. The video was amazing.

A few pictures, crudely resized for forum viewing:

On my way to my hotel, James called for an airport ride. It worked out perfectly since he was on the way. We went straight to the Yeungling brewery for a tour.

Just like the airport, they made me take my shoes off! I had sandals on and had to borrow one of their shoes for safety reasons.
Image

Unlike A-B, Yeungling lets visitors get really close to everything.
Image

Ray brought scallops! He and James made fried rice for everyone.
Image

EPIC.
Image

James at the bar next to the hotel.

Shenanigans

I finally showed up at 3pm. I had been awake for 36 hours and slept in... way in.

I met Stacey! Greg grabbed her to protect her from an honor killing :rotflmao

Ozzie (Andy) holding a Datsun... LIKE A BOSS

Loldi. You know the story behind this one...

Somehow, at every meet, Wes always ends up in a picture by himself.

Sean's Cosworth! THE vehicle of the event, as far as I'm concerned.

Wow, never has my car been loved by so many people at once. I'm glad I brought a smile to everyone's face. It was awesome getting out there and beating it up too. Oh and the Shens were fun, just like always. Hopefully Amy can post up some pics that she took soon.

Overall it was a great weekend and super happy i made the drive, totally worth meeting everyone. +1 on the delicious burgers. oh and this guy = awesome! Probably one of the funniest parts of the weekend. Trying to ride around with his gf and buddy, blaring techno off the starting line :mike getting everything explained to him thoroughly and still doing it wrong plus an extra lap and then crashing into the fence.
