I can will get back what I paid for the Spohn. The only thing I am married to is making this bitch go fast and do work, everything else is second. Tell Cleetus the thought crossed my mind to run headers straight to a couple of race mufflers, that would sound bad ass after the cam swap...

Don't need no sissy sticks :fuckyeah:

So before I go and do something I regret, I need some information on modifying a Y-Pipe. Background: I am currently running Pacesetter headers with a Texas Speed Y-Pipe to a Magnaflow cat back exhaust on my Trans Am. I purchased a Spohn body mount torque arm that includes the drive shaft safety loop thinking it would fit, well because it fit my other car without issue. The problem I have run into is that the Spohn unit does not fit with the Texas Speed Y-Pipe and I did not figure this out until we had the car in the air trying to get it on, and some extra research on-line. From what I have read, this combination can be made to work with extensive modifications to the Y-Pipe and the rest of the exhaust. My only options are: - to get a new exhaust and or Y-pipe to use this current torque arm (causing me to lose ground clearance). -get a torque arm mount that relocates the arm off the transmission, seperate DSL, and long style torque arm (I know Scott really got this combo to work well enough to yank the front wheels on his car.) - try and hack up this current exhaust and get this torque arm to work (I think this is the cheapest route) Questions: Is hacking up this Y-Pipe going to cause unforeseen tuning or performance issues? Anybody else had this type of issue before or hack up a y-pipe and how did it work out? I would rather do this the correct way and leave the money factor off the table.

AND was done at 115 pounds heavy for the class :fuckyeah: Your move GM... http://www.dragzine.com/news/holbrook-destroys-stock-eliminator-record-in-aaasa-runs-8-50/ This is crazy considering how many rules are put on these cars: http://www.dragzine.com/features/understanding-class-racing-stock-eliminator/ http://www.nhra.net/tech_specs/classification/

AND A WILD V8 BEAST APPEARS.... That means you might have to actually drive your car hard :gabe: After I get my cam swap done and get the big boy shot tuned up I want to run you...

Nice to see you made it on (I was one of the guys you were talking with at C&C before you left). Your RS4 sounds bad ass.

pics of hutch?

Best thing that could happen would be a sale of the track. The NHRA really has shown they are clueless when it comes to running a track (or organization for that matter). I think there would be a very good chance the track would be purchased by an ownership group since the track is not a total hole. There is also the possibility someone will buy it, doze it, and put houses on it.

You really never learn... Here are some more people that actually don't talk, but race:

All the $20 hookers best stay in the lot when these cats are out hunting :fuckyeah:

Wow, thanks! Scary thing is these are all the low res shots and have not seen any touch up work in photoshop. I have a select few that I want to try and do some cool stuff with. I need to get with the car owners first, I might see if they want them as posters.

Pretty much sums it up right here. Doing something like this is not cheap because you need it to hold together.

I just use a basic cannon rebel with kit glass. Some of these shots were taken using a nice 70-200 lens, high end cannon body and lens. I learned a ton on this trip about how much a difference good glass can overcome an average body. Settings also help along with how you frame a shot.

Wow, legit as hell right there. http://www.dragzine.com/news/updates-from-the-road-drag-racings-ironman-heads-to-bradenton/

Tell me about your built DSM

Thanks Doc! Really cool to meed the people behind the lens that bring these events to life. I learned a TON from the top level photo and video people that were there. Got some great ideas and tips on how to bring my game to the next level.

By far one the best event I have ever got to shoot at. The level of cars there was just unreal. You had people diving from all parts of the country to be at this race. My next assigment if I want it is to cover the NMCA/LSX Shoot Out races in FL and GA coming up, not sure if I will make those yet.

Yes, very good price for what it comes with. Do you have it on racing junk yet?

Both the guys who did those are really cool cats. The dude from streat freaks got the worst sunburn I have seen a white man get. That guy was purple as fuck by the end of the day sunday. I am doing a quick and dirty watermark of all my pictures for DuckX Productions and they will be using them on their facebook page soon. As of right now I might just do a mass upload of them with both my logo and the event logo on my smugmug page. Later on a few of them might get re-done in photoshop because they did turn out pretty good.

One time I farted so loud I woke up my cat.
