Holy WOW. Matt, how's things, homie? Were you at Carlisle this year?


And Torry...who else was with you when you drunk dialed me last weekend? And why didn't you call me back. Sheesh...I feel so used.


All the pics are win, gang. I will someday attend a national event and meet some of the brothers and sisters I have conversed with through the years.

Yeah we don't care, you spent more time away from everyone than you did actually hanging out with your fellow Niconauts. Oh and who the hell told you the food in the Nico tent was free, I told you it wasn't self serve and that I would get someone to help you, how you got that it was free out of that is beyond me.
I told him that. We were charging $2 a burger, but eh, whatever.

Well, we just learned a new fancy camera does not cure a bad photographer. :biggrin: You realize you had no virtually no people in any of your pictures? I don't believe there was a single NICOnaut. And half the shots of the track were obscured by vegetation.

Looks like you got some decent pics. New camera appears to be working out well.

I've still got more work to do organizing the rest of my pics. A bit too lazy to finish that up tonight, but I'll get to it.

Hey, Tito was actually working

The po-po watched us for a bit too

Did this thing get used to run the auto x coarse?

Nala, watch where you're going or you might hit something
Image

Aww, ghey!

Get off the phone!

I really like this pic. Partly because Michele looks good in it, but mostly for the reflection in her glasses.

And of course, I got a creeper picture of the dumper...

Bubba.. it was a tie for 1st.. I had the best 2.5 time at 1:03, MattV (blue altimacoupe, no carbon fiber hood) got 1:03 for the 3.5ers.. He won the coin toss, he gets the coils.

I really hope you all enjoyed the hotel, and as far as now (hopefully they dont call me lol) no damage to any of the 15 rooms I put under my name for everyone.

The trip Starkos hood flew up, my cameras were on it, its really funny seeing it from 3 angles and hearing the crowd cheer as his hood smashed his front windshield and the HeroHD Cam bracket, but the camera was in tact and still taping... It will be edited/uploaded this week.

3 good pics to start it off..

I'm soooo glad I wore jeans on Saturday and not short, it was cold as F all all day, especially once the winds started to really pick up. I just wish I had brought more than just a sweatshirt with me, a thermal shirt and a jacket would have made for a much improved experience.

Alcohol is not required to have a good time. While I can't speak for them, I would imagine that Ryan and Michele enjoyed the weekend and neither of them drank an ounce. I'm sure there were plenty others that didn't drink. But for roughly around that age they were the first two that came to mind.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Faizan didn't drink either. So while there were many of us that consumed a lot, sober folks did exist.

Yup, Christine only had like 2 beers all weekend. And I don't think Greg or Becky had anything. Or Joel. Or Stacey. There were plenty of sober people.

I really want to, but I don't have any vacation time for it.

See, I forgot about all of this. Alcohol has a negative impact on my memory...

Don't worry, there will be mass amounts of alcohol consumption, even without Adam.

That was partially my fault Neal. I told him to try again since you were in Guam last year during Carlisle, haha. You are definitely one of the few people I've wanted to meet a lot but haven't yet.

You met me too, ya jerk. I was only the one legitimately offering you a place to stay for the night.

The party in Torry's room was awesome, thanks for the 3 week early birthday celebration :)

This thread is so awesome. :bigthumb: I haven't transferred my pictures yet, but I'll get them posted up tomorrow. I took a LOT of video this year, so I'll get those all set up for everyone, should be very epic. (Unless my hands were shaking too bad from the cold to keep the camera still.)

SO for those of you that don't know, Tyler came home with us and is in town until tomorrow evening. We went out tonight so he could try lots of locally brewed beers.

Pictures:

First spot. We got him the sampler.

Image

Second spot. Another sampler.

Image

Third spot. We created a sampler for him.

Image

He is hammered and vomiting everywhere.

The second place we went, with the 11-sampler plate, I asked the bartender, who was a blonde female:

Me: How many full beers is this collectively?

Her: (counting to herself) Two... four, five... eight, nine... eleven? (pause) Yeah. Eleven.

Me, Ryan, and Tyler: :facepalm:
