Thanks Chris , yeah that was scary, I was beating on it all weekend, but I really cant stand it getting backed into like that. Oh well no harm no foul, the car isn't pristine anymore. I have alot of work to do to the car and get it ready for a few more years of racing/daily driving.

Once I get out of school I will completely refurbish the car to as good as new status. but for now shes my little track slut right now.

Thanks for the compliments on the car, its a factory Acura NSX color.
haha no its all good. i used to have allergies real bad, i just didnt want to bug ya. who knows why i talk so much on here. im more then willing to meet new people, i just dont know what some of the members on here look like, i did meet a few though, but truth be told im kinda shy sometimes. but yeah your car looks great, thats blue is really nice and almost makes me want to go with daytona blue for the paint, but then i like black as well

First off I need to say I am thoroughly kicking myself in the *** for not coming this year. I'm so pissed that I didn't have any money to go and be with you guys. Second how many entered the track of death and did damage to there cars? Third this thread definately neds a 56K warning in the title, I have cable internet and it took a solid 25-20 minutes for the page to load fully not to mention I got a low virtual memory warning while 3/4 of the way down the page.

Did Kaleo show up or no? I hope to see some of you guys at the NICOFest in August at the Nopi Summer Nationals in Englishtown NJ.

2 Questions:

Who showed me that SWEET pic of my car swaying left into an auto cross turn (you showed it to me on your laptop)

and

How do you add motion blur to the pics w/o distorting the car? I'm noob.

Thanks to everyone who was able to come out to this show. Attendance was great considering the weather. You guys make it worthwhile for us to host an event like this, it was an absolute blast.

I'm loving the pictures you guys are posting. We should have an article and more pics up on the homepage sometime in the next few days. Stay tuned!

Shift_Coupe, I had to edit one of your pictures. Please see my notes on your post

It was great to see everyone again this year....It was a blast just like last year...

Torry: I'm sure James wont forget the belly hahahahaha that was awesome...

Some highlight phrases:

Mark: Who's Aussie stuff is that? Makes my hair so soft...

Sean: Testicle Smasher

Torry: He's your problem now!!! (Torry you know what I'm talking about)

Overall it was a great weekend. Hopefully I'll get to see most of you in VIR this year.

For some reason, and I am still wondering why, it was suggested that Torry submitted my face to that little slice of heaven refered to as his chest/front torso. It was kinda like I was in a strip club, except the polar opposite.

Mark, Tyler, Amy, Sean, Me, and my girlfriend all shared 1 room (Mark and Tyler spooned). I guess Amy brought some Aussie shampoo stuff that Mark really liked. I used the hotel's crap, so I can't say for sure just how good the aussie stuff was. It DID make the room smell fresh and girly after it was used though.

quote2- I was writing a letter to a professor, and I needed another phrase for "ball busting".

quote3- I think I know, but I don't for sure. That one might have to stay in Carlisle.

BTW Tyler- let me know when you get the bill all sorted out and what your paypal addy is.

I have hung around with Torry a bit and have never felt the need to do a face-belly flop with him. You should contain your desire better

Absolutely normal. Greg (and Wes on another night) shared a king with me at Nopi in '06 without any problems. Last years Nashville meet I had to share a queen-size with Greg and I swear he was trying to spoon with me

And there is nothing wrong with smelling good. I use Aussie scrunch spray

That would be me I only have two shots of your ride.

As for the motion blur, there are a few tutorials if you google it but this one should work for you.

By the way, I'm sorry that I didn't take more time to meet and greet with some of you guys. I was attending with three non-NICO members, so the time I was able to spend there was limited.
