I dont want to haul a whole bunch of crap with me and then try to find somewhere to put it. Last time I was at GLD i locked my stock wheels to a tree!:heh: I might be bringing a friend with me too. Hes got a GP that runs 11.5's. Im waiting for him to get back to me still.

BTW is there going to be an area where we are planning to have our pit set up?

Ajaxus 07-19-2007 05:24 PM

We can also launch a search for a store that has a fuse for my amp..I blew it and I can't find a replacement anywhere..lol (It's a medium sized 40, the only 40's I can find are the large fuses..*sigh*)

Oh yeh, umm, my drive up there is gonna be fun, my rear brakes aren't really grabbing right now so I don't come to a stop as quickly as I'd like..gonna see what I can do tonight and at the mechanics in the morning to remedy this. Got myself a 7am oil change scheduled ;)

Hey, I'm gonna be spectating so park those wheels with me. I'll take care of them.

P.S. Got the headlights! They looks sooooo much better. hope it doesn't take all day to get them in:)
Do you need me to bring tools for the install of my headlights and grills???

lone_wolf025 07-19-2007 06:34 PM

For the headlights all you really need is a big flat head screwdriver to pry the clips open. Dunno about the grills...

silvergtjrad 07-19-2007 06:37 PM

If you are installing the lights on saturday, im going to bring most of my tools with and should have whatever you need.

Whats specifically is going on Saturday evening, and Sunday. This thread is long and the details are blurred haha. I cannot be out to wherever the hell I have to go untill atleast 9pm on Saturday.

Ajaxus 07-20-2007 12:37 AM

Not sure, hopefully we can get it all ironed out on Friday.

Heads up tho, that nice period from 12-445pm on friday that we're modding..I'll be sleeping in my car, haha. I've worked so many night shifts now that I can't go to sleep before 8am :(

Anyways, got myself an oil change at 7am..gonna have the brakes inspected then and get the final word on whether or not they'll hold up for the trip..;crap Once that's over tho, I hit the road for Antioch... :D

And if anyone has a two-way, I'll be broadcasting on Channel 1..

XtremeGaGt00 07-21-2007 12:27 PM

i think i got the best time with the dirtiest car award...HAHA..15.3

Iowagdam 07-21-2007 10:46 PM

Ran a 15.75 with no tune. Was expecting something better than that but I'll take it. I'm gonna need to get some things done around the house tomorrow so expect me around 12:30.

lone_wolf025 07-21-2007 10:59 PM

So far its been great. One more day to go! I've got tons of pics so we'll probably be posting a picture thread later this week. Y'all are gonna be in for a treat!

lvemy3100 07-22-2007 07:43 AM

well I ran the 16.207 I knew my car would run (was saying so all day pretty much)... this was in a 99 Malibu with the older (155hp) 3100, aftermarket jack in back seat (heavy ****) and a cooler full of water/ice and water bottles... only mods were MPR CAI and tuning as well as 112k+ original miles... lol


Thank you to everyone who showed and I hope you all post the pics (esp those from last night)

cardude007617 07-22-2007 08:28 AM

I wished I could've stayed for sunday, unfortunately I've got to head out around 1:00 pm for Bessemer Alabama, to deliver a load. I'll post the pictures I took as soon as I can, I'm gonna find out with the video camera how it looks and see about uploading it to post, granted it will probably be a little bouncy with the way I moved around.

Ajaxus 07-22-2007 09:48 AM

I'm heading out too, jumped on quick at my hotel before hitting the road..

For those that didn't make the car show or to the walmart afterward to hear..I came pretty close to getting in one guy's face when we left. When I first pulled my car in (fyi, with the exception of one car where we parked all the other cars were modern) this ******* makes a smart comment that it wasn't Pontiac Night. Then he makes another comment about not bringing our trash back again when we left. If we weren't all split up, I was set to slam my car into park and have a little talk with him about things. But I think our series of burnouts around the corner sufficed... :D

Oh, and Jason, thanks alot for stealing the dirtiest car title from me... :(
