Pontiac Nationals @ Atco, Sunday Nov 13th

[iceman]

(yes I cut and paste for both forums, I'm too lazy to type) I definitely had a great time this weekend.. it was good to see some old and new faces and party it up all weekend! Congrats to the trophy winners, and everyone that showed.. I'm pretty jealous that you all keep your grand am's all nice and stuff hehe..

with the incident... It was unfortunate that we had to make a bunch of new people (minus the dumb bitch) feel extremely unwelcome to say the least.. We all pretty much know who took it, but if noone would fess up then we pretty much agreed that as bad as it was, anyone we didnt know was involved.. I still feel bad about it, but oh well, I know our loyalties are all with each other not people we don't know. I suppose we learned a lesson about having big open parties, maybe next time have an off limits room or just don't allow randoms at all, I dunno. at some point we are all new people though.

Justin dude.. where'd you go??? I didn't have your room, phone#, or anything to wake you up on Sunday.

I'll take the chance to ask a few questions too so we have ideas for next year.. How did you guys like Friday night just stayin around, cookin out, partyin?? How was the hotel??? Tour of the city?? any other suggestions????

Friday night was great. Thanks for cookin up all that food seth and matt. Saturday sucked. But that's just cause I'm an alchi and drank too much on friday. I still haven't recovered . But for real Saturday was good times too. I think this setup would work for future meets.

[cavingman]

thanks to everyone that helped me push the car out to the road btw!

hotel was awesome, def go there again! fri night was tits as well. minus the incident and my car blowin up this year went great!

[GregFarz78]

That hotel was perfect I say def stay there again next year. It felt too rushed on sat though, I know everyone wanted to wash their cars but a longer tour of the city would've been cool theres tons to see maybe next year we make an extended weekend out of it like thurs-sun/mon kinda like a big fall east coast/atco meet.

...as for the incident yea its not really fair to say if we dont know you too bad you arent allowed but my instincts were dead on with that chic from the few hours after meeting her. We were all new at one point but that never happened at any other meet before, people on this board just dont do that. I hate to be a buzzkill but maybe next year we enforce "if we dont know you and you're under 21 get out of the party room", that situation could've been solved by the police but she would've taken us all down with her if we called them and of course the "no drunk random whore" rule too. I feel bad for paul hopefully that ride home wasnt too painful

How bout a boston meet

[cavingchick]

Guess its time for my post.

This weekend was amazing and very chaotic at the same time. Friday was defintely a blast. Its too bad brendan had to work on saturday. THe hooka (spelling) was defintely interesting. I had an awesome time getting to know people that I have met a few times even better. Saturday was amazing until around 2:30 in the morning. I was hoping for a better performance from myself in the beer pong tournament with erika, but thats okay. At least she had seth to play with and pick up my slack. Regarding the incident, thank you for everyone's support and love. I appreciate everyone who lended a helping hang with everything. It is really unfortunate taht everything went down. I love all of you and like I told everyone on saturday, you are all my family. Without you guys in my life, it would not be complete by any means.

Sunday at the track was great! I didn't run as well as I was really hoping but my best pass was a 15.1. For my first time ever racing I am gonna chalk that up to a pretty good one. And matt with that damn chicken sticking out of his sunroof was hilarious. I couldn't drive behind matt on the way to ATCO it was just too funny.

Thanks to Seth and Matt for hosting everything on Friday night! Thanks to everyone who purchased the kegs and everything else. YOu are all amazing people!

I dont think that this weekend could have been any better then it already was. I mean with exception to the "incident" as its being called now. I got along with everyone really well. I met a bunch of new people and I feel like there my good friends already. Cant wait for the next meet now........

[cavingchick]

P.S. Pics will be up either tonight or tomorrow. We have no AA Batteries. I hate digi cams that eat batteries.

doh >.< anyway yea ill have to /agree with everyone up there. good times indeed i shoulda ran tho, wen i got home i was driving around with my gf and my car was feeling kinda fast coulda done better than my sad 16.5 at e town udner those horrible circumstances(95o out, ETS on, box in the trunk, no power braking)

[cavingman]

got the update from the dealer. slave cyl was leaking fluid and caused the clutch/pressure plate to lock up (hence why i couldnt get any gears). i think the salve cyl started leaking on the way to the track, and just by chance caused the lockup right as i passed the 1/4 mark.
i still beat that rx-7 with a 15.4 tho

[GTPguy99]

Thats really good to hear. I thought for sure you had chipped pistons with that 30* of knock you said you had on the run.

[cavingman]

yea that was probobly picking up vibration from everything siezing up

Sunday sucked :/
We had decided we'd get to bed early so we could wash out the cars, and I was so looking forward to the Trans-Ams first time getting run. We set all 3 alarms we had for 5:30 (the RCA clock they gave us, my cell phone and the Sirus Radio). Woke up at 5:30, we both were like f that, too tired, Manda thought she reset the cell phone for 6:30, and then.....I wake up, ask Manda what time it is, and she says 11:00. We tried to call Eric to see if we could still get in to the raceway, but couldn't get a hold of him. I forgot to bring my A/C adapter and laptop had been left on, so I couldn't get on to get the directions to Atco or your number from my PM, the forigner at the front desk didn't have any idea where Atco was, so after hanging around the hotel until about 1:00 just decided to head home
What sucks too is we were in the room directly behind all of the grandams, like my car, the silver and red car, if you walked in a stright line from their bumper, you'd have walked to our room
So yea, next year we need a room right next to the crews .
Then the fing skins lost, I hope Philly wins this weekend, .

[badassgrandam99]

this weekend was definitely good times... of course not counting the "incident" as we're all calling it... it was great meeting all the new peeps... you guys are cool as hell and i'd definitely like to make it up to a New England meet sometime... and it was great hanging with the regular crew as always... Matt and Seth, thanks for the great food on friday... sux that i didn't take 3rd by default with my dirty Grand Am in the stock class... ... oh well... i shouldn't have been in stock anyway... how'd i get there?? haha... can't wait to do this all again...

edit: forgot about the towing cost. after roadside's absorbed cost i had to pay a little over 100 to get it to the shop i wanted.

Joe did u take any pics at all? if so hook me up..i cant beleive i forgot my f'ing camera..

[19GrandAmGT99]

As always guys, I had a blast. Starting from the drive down that took about 11hrs and 30 min. A few people got lost, and someone got us lost. But any who Joe that was some kick ass driven on the way down. "How are u still down there" Seth and Matt, thanks for the food and entertainment Friday night and for a place to crash. Nice tour through Philly, maybe next time we could spend a little more time there, and as always great steak and cheese. As for Sat night I had a fun time, hopefully next time we can win at beer pong though, minus the "incident". It sucked for everyone and was a buzz kill for the whole night. I feel bad for those who got booted because of one dumb whore. Sunday was rough with only a few hours sleep but I had a blast.
