Wink That was me,

My buddy and I were out having a little fun this morning. We were at the Grand also, there was some sweet rides down there. I live about 10 miles up the road from where we ran. Where, may I ask, is Wolf Creek Va? I'm up that way all the time and can't seem to place it. BTW, what did you think of that flamed up Caddy at the show? A piece of work or what?

wolf creek is about 45 min west of blacksburg in giles co that caddy was pretty sharp i think the show at the hotel was a jip pay 8 bucks to get in and i bet there wasnt 50 cars in there we walked the whole length of the strip all the way down to cracker barrel and back up the side with the grand hotel on it all that was better than the actual show at the hotel

It's always like that.

The price of the show has started to go up in the past few years though. It's went from 5 to 8 dollars, and won't surprise me if it doesn't go up again next year. I always go in and check out the vendors and wind up buying a few things every year.
Also, the police presence down there is getting to be a little overbearing. I've been going down there since the late '80's and I remember the good old days when you could get away with burnouts on the street. Now you can get a ticket for revving your engine. Take care.

that was the first time ive been to that show in a few years i usually go to shades of the past which was last week but i couldnt make it this yr but i think shades of the past is alot better show it just seems like the run has gone too commerical id say for every car in the actual show there was 2 vendors in there i was very disappointed about the number of cars in the show but all the ones out on the street more than made up for it

So far the only things that I've did are drill the airbox, unplug the boost solenoid, and install the REM chip. A 4 lb pulley and some sort of air filter system are in the near future, but for now that's all I have. It was cool running with you guys, we'll have to do it again some time. As for a gallery, I'm no good at posting pics. I try to go down there for the F-100 nats and the spring and fall Grand Runs, and I agree most of the best stuff is outside the show.

Question Bristol Bash

You gonna try to make it down for the Bristol Bash next month? I missed it last year but a couple of my friends went and said it was a pretty good time. If it's possible I'm gonna take the L down the 1/4 mile a few times. I've ran the 1/8 a lot but never the 1/4, mainly because I have to work on Thursday nights. That's Bristol's test and tune and street fight night.
If you're gonna be there give me a yell. I plan on making it, but will know more about my work schedule on the 1st of the month. Take Care.
