I gotta agree with the others, the event was awesome. I didnt get to take my car didnt get to replace the tcc solenoid or the boost solenoid in time. I didnt see any hotair cars there either....I woulda been the only one. I still had a great time tho.....didnt really talk to anyone, just kinda spectated...kinda regret that. I was curious though, who's white t-type did that wheelie and came down with the wheels turned? Also, did Cal run his car at all? I was really looking forward to seeing him run, but never saw it.

The wheelie maniac is local Paul Helliker. I'm trying to get the video captured on the computer and posted. I think I have 2 good wheel stands of his.

 

[GNBeswick]

Alright, thnx, he pulled that wheelie just before I started recording. I got pretty much every part of the race after that wheelie . I was also wondering, who was the one that had the GS with the 3.8 V6 turbo in it? That was one badass car, me and my dad examined the engine for around 10 minutes to try and see what made it so fast.....didnt look that much different than most 12 second engines.

OH NO I missed it! dammit!

Cal wasnt there with his car, HE flew in to help **** Kereny with his 2 cars

 

[GNBeswick]

Ah, I see.....I was under the impression his car was gonna be there...guess I heard wrong. Thnx for clearing that up.

a great time!!

Vegas was great again this year. The guy with the green '65 turbo skylark is Tim Lee. That car is one of my favorite cars.

paul is now wheelieboy. it was really cool to see him win. he has been thru hell with meltdown's. and now we got a handle on it. just gotta keep the front end down and there should be some low 9's in the car. he deserved the win. congrads paul!

Thank you

The annual trip to Las Vegas is a blast and I hope there are many more WCN events to follow. I have a hell of a time getting away from the office for the Bowling Green event so this is the annual "biggie" for me. I hope the turnout is enough for you guys to do this again next year and the year after and..

We know how much work is put into this event and appreciate your efforts. Looking forward to next year already.

I'm hoping that next year we can rent a party room and get together as a group. Hell, I'd come up a day early just for that. So many people I didn't get a chance to see.

Thanks again to Jack, Jon and the other organizers.

I've been working on that Otto, but I run a one person business and it's pretty hard. When I'm out of the office, it's flat shut down.
