I am not sure why they didn't want bikes but I assume it's for safety reasons. If you watch the SW vs. SeaFish video both those cars get pretty squirly during runs. But I really wanted to race all those guys. Maybe next year. Jamie had his Stage I ® TTG Superleggera out. Pure SEX. Thanks dick, lol These guys have so much money that races are usually for a signed dollar. I kid you not people have them taped in there back windows. Absolutely hilarious, and quite ingenious. If you'd had read, I raced a Stage I ® TTG.

It states both pilots survived... but that is miraculous and I'd say he is probably in some shit.

tl ; dr Cliffs: Awesome event will go next year.

I'll start from the beginning.. Drive down: Chris couldn't link up with us the day we were planning on leaving so we set it up to meet him down there. That left me an Anthony the task of driving 20+ hours. We left around 2pm and hauled ass through the first couple states. We didn't run into sleep trouble probably till 2-3 in the morning when we had to break to catch a couple ZzZ's. Overall the drive was pretty miserable with two people and the damn trailer swaying like a bitch. We made it to the Omni roughly at 10am Thursday. We checked in and passed out. The people working at the Omni are awesome. They helped us out with getting the trailer and truck in a secured (fence w/ razor wire and 24 hour security) and getting us a better room as well. A+ hotel, super nice, the hotel staff is very lenient towards the crowds. Thursday Night: Anthony and I find ourselves a good spot in the garage. Sure as shit we get allot of attention from all the nut swingers of certain people notoriously affiliated with TX2K. Any who I get called out by a UGR car and people are jumping through hoops to find out where I was to get me to there other spot. Finally we link up and roll out to this place around 11. Pulling into this lot was like a wet dream. We see 10+ Lamborghini's, Ferrari's, Porsche's, Ford GT's, Supra's, etc. Absolutely the coolest thing I have ever seen. We get to meet a few of the guys driving these things and the guy who hosts the spot. All these guys are pretty down to earth. Finally we get out on the road. What a mess.. We have cars getting off at multiple freeway exits so I just follow a UGR car with about 10 go-pros on it. We finally make it out to the "track" they use. I line up with one of the UGR cars in the left lane (My go pro was facing the wrong direction for this race). We slow down to 40ish and he gets the hit. Soon as we take off he is about 1/2 car but not going anywhere, then boom another UGR car pulls in front of me and I let out. Second time we line up I get on the right side this time, clear as day all the way down. We take off, I stay a car behind by 4th, then extends probably to 2 cars by the time I hit 6th and let out. After getting lost and finally making our way back I find the car I had raced. It turned out to be JC from up north. What an absolutely nice guy to talk to. We bullshited for a few and then me an Anthony hung out around the spot for another hour or two. We left around 2 am since we were running on about 4 hours of sleep. Friday: Dyno day was epic. So many nasty cars there. Lucky enough to see the Venom GT as well. Barry Maguire (sp?) was shooting a promo with John Hennessy as well. We stayed from 9am to about 3pm (event continued to 5pm). Frankenstein's Night meet was absolutely insane. Well over 5,000 people there. Police everywhere, and I thought our ricers were bad here! Shit got ridiculous when the kid was arrested and people threw shit at the cops. Didn't even bother trying to get close enough to the Bikini contest as there was 1000 people hoarding the stage. We chilled at the hotel in the garage basically till 4am and couldn't get a hole of single person associated with the fast group. Guess they were done racing bikes at this point. I figure since this was our first year and we didn't know allot of people and vise versa they opted not to extend an invite to us noobies. It's all good though next year will be better as I have gotten to know allot of new people. Saturday: Bullshited all day, went to Houston Galleria and chilled. Saturday night got in touch with JC and met all the guys over at the spot to hopefully get some runs with the big dogs. Prior to all of that we were siphoning fuel out of my gas tank when the damn end of it fell in the tank. So I had 6" piece of plastic tube chilling in the tank. We tore it apart right there in the parking lot and had to dump out 5 gallons of gas but got the bitch out. We then filled her up with C16. Made it out to the spot around 11. Hung out talked with a few people. Then it was time to roll, this time we made sure to stay with all the big dogs. Sure enough we roll into a parking lot and have a drivers meeting with about 10 of the baddest cars in the country. Came down to it they didn't want bikes out. Can't say I wasn't disappointed to say the least, but I didn't want to piss of the people who basically ran this side of TX2k. So we went back to the spot with our tails between our legs and waited 3 hours to see if anyone else would go back out. Nope. So we went back to the hotel around 4 with nothing getting done. I hope next year we can get more stuff off. I plan to race in there track event as well. Sunday: Drove back left around one and made it back around 9am Monday. Drive back wasn't as bad as we had master driver Chris Lane hauling ass for 12 hours straight lol. Overall: Great event, pretty organized. Had a great time met allot of cool people and saw the sickest cars on the planet. If you think you are fast you are wrong, because there was always something faster down there. It's definitely event that gets better after years of going and getting to know more and more people. I plan to continue to keep contact with the friends I made down there so next year will be even crazier. I'd like to see a group head down from C-Bus next year as well. You don't need a 1000hp car or 250hp bike to have fun. They pretty much have classes for everything down there. From 400+ cars to 1500+ cars.

Yup I am, you got me :dumb:

That's funny where we're you at Linn I misted have missed you on the freeway? Only clean pass I had with Jamie was the two of us down and I was back a Car so by 6th. When it was three wide (mevjamievant) I had to chop gas in 3rd cause of a dumbass ttg cutting me off. And if Linn came down I'd hope he was making over a 1k otherwise he'd be wasting time.

Thanks Brian for meeting me up this morning to throw the busa on the dyno one last time before Texas. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/allaboutwrx/ea0ea2be.jpg Bike made 147hp @ 22.6psi w/ 27* of timing on VP Import

Great episode though

Bike is setup for the track this year, so I won't be gunning for any roll racing trophy's but I will stretch it's legs against a few choice cars already set up in Texas. I should lose to anything making 1200-1300+ (and is AWD). I should do fairly well against the Supra's. I am excited to see at least, but I am more excited for the track use this year. I'll actually have my NHRA license and plan to compete in a few races. Plans for next year is get the bike built and ready for the prostreet class.

plenty of shops that strap it down from the passenger pegs/subframe. While we were tuning the bike we had the straps on the arm, but we were about to pull it off and I wanted a video so we through back up there for a quick couple vids. Tuner is Troy Smock, he has built and tuned several badass grudge bikes. Isn't Johnny Cheese your tuner?
