  1. I have a used Precision 46mm waste gate for sale. It has hardly any use on it as I never drove the car very often. Controlled 740whp just fine, only selling cause I upgraded to a 60mm with new power levels. The wastegate is black in color and has push lock fittings installed in it. I am in Newark, must come get as I don't travel to Columbus very often or toss some extra cash and I will ship it for you. I can't get pics to upload, but can text them to you. $225
  2. Sadly they put fucks like this in protective custody instead of turning them loose with the animals.
  3. I offered to paint the bathrooms for free 2 years ago and was told they had plans of doing it themselves lol. Glad to see the track is getting all the attention that it is. Hopefully it draws people back to the track, as I was there 2 Wednesdays ago and car count was low.
  4. I will be there on the 16th in my civic along with my buddy in his auto turbo s2000. I will get money from him and reserve our spots in next few days if that's ok
  5. My car goes on the dyno again May 8th, if all goes well I am planning on bringing it out for some testing. I have no clue what it'll do, went 11.3@103 last year after going 118 in the 1/8 haha. Slipping clutches for the loss!!! Made 835 on dyno last year, may make a little more this time around. Be nice to click off a 9 second pass at some point during the day
  6. Went to Vegas in back in February, made the 4hr drive to the Grand Canyon, was well worth it. It is easily the coolest thing I have viewed in person out of the 27 states visited.
  7. They didn't used to but the last couple times we have gone, they have had that gate opened up. Generally they will announce if they are opening that gate or not. They really need to every time because the event is so damn busy in April especially.
  8. Go to the back entrance as well, it is usually faster than the one directly off 40.
  9. I can't believe stores like that are still open honestly, I look for Best Buy to be next on the way out. Online shopping is straight up murdering stores. Why leave your house to buy the same stuff?
  10. Think guy with balloon arms and really stretched looking skin. I will give the guy all the credit in the world for being honest and a smart business man, however, he really looks bad in person. All the steroid use is catching up to him. As for Guida he hit me up today checking on my son since he knew he was wrestling in a district qualifier (which he took 2nd) and discussed our baseball trip this summer. I could legitimately see myself getting in trouble with that guy if we were to hang out for too long of a time haha.
  11. That line was absolutely retarded, at one time I was told 3hrs just to meet a guy full of synthol... I guess that's what moves the needle these days for people though. While I respect Rich for being an honest doucher, I don't think would ever wait in line that long to meet the guy. I did sneak over there to see check things out and man he looks really bad in person. He looks bad on youtube but in person it's even worse. Today wasn't as exciting as yesterday, but I was able to visit CT Fletcher with Cory and talk to him for 10 minutes, which was rad! Clay and I are going to link up over the summer for a visit to my gym and then to catch a few ball games as we're both big baseball fans and fans of the Cubs. As others have said, super down to earth guy, he was handing out samples of product today for gods sake.
  12. It was a great day for me. Clay Guida is probably the coolest dude I have ever met and hung out with. I could seriously hang with that guy every day, I am just blessed to be able to do so the next 2 days. Travis Browne is also a cool mother fucker. Aside from those two, I was lucky enough to meet some other "celebs" while working. Mark Bell (power lifter) walked up to our booth and began talking to me as if we were best friends of 20 years. I took the opportunity and ran with it haha. Got to spend 10-15 minutes just discussing life, business and training. Was a really nice guy. I was in the back grabbing a couple boxes of our shirts and met Randy Couture. It took everything in me not to be "that guy" while wanting to be that guy haha. I didn't snap a pic with him, but did shake hands and say hello's. The next guy I met back stage was Mark Henry aka The Worlds Strongest Man and WWE wrestler. He was in the back working with the strong men as I came walking by. Knowing he was busy I again passed up a photo up and chose to go the "Hey nice to meet you" route instead. On a smaller celeb scale I hung out with Logan Stiebler, who is a former OSU wrestler and world champion. Tyler Everett who played football for Ohio State and Steve Weatherford who was the punter for the NY Giants during their superbowl. Tomorrow the plan is to venture over to CT Fletchers booth with my boss/buddy and talk to him for a while and hopefully meet Arnold.
  13. Most supplements are really... I take a pre-workout, some BCAA's and everyone in a while I will throw a protein shake in to hold me over between training and dinner. I don't take them thinking they will make me buff like most people do though.
  14. He was out long before that went down. I am not at liberty to go in to details as it's really none of my business but I know things went south with MP and Cory long before that came to light.
  15. I haven't gone to the Arnold in 2 years, but since I am on the other side of things now I will be there. Cory is definitely a good dude, I harassed the poor guy for a year to be my friend by @'ing him on IG and sending nudes via snapchat, just kidding about the nudes. I'll be the tall goofy dude taking orders in the booth though if any of you swing through
  16. Also, if anyone is interested. We are holding a free seminar in house featuring Maurice Clarett and Steve Weatherford (superbowl champion punter of Giants) Thursday 7pm 60 Anthony Drive Newark Ohio 43055
  17. That's correct, I became friends with Cory last year, interned during my down time away from my gym and ultimately took a paying position within the company.
  18. Anyone else going? I am actually working it this year instead of walking around. If you end up going, stop by booth #2325 (Max Effort Muscle) and say what's up. We will be having Clay Guida and Travis Browne, both of UFC fame in our booth.
  19. Bump, everything is gone except the secretariat. It needs a nice new home, we are being forced to move by March 31st so stuff has to go!!
  20. Yeah you have to be an absolute stud in order to get a free ride from a college for wrestling. That's not our goal with this though, our goal is to 1. Have fun 2. Not break any bones, 3. Learn a new move in practice and use it in a tournament each week. 4. Learn how to handle losing #4 is honestly what I think you learn the most from this sport. It is you vs the other guy, much like many things in life and you don't always win.
  21. I have a kid that comes to my gym with his dad, who is ranked #7 in the country for all 8th graders. He won an event called the super 32 in N. Carolina and both parents had to shut their phones off. They had prep schools and colleges calling about him.
  22. The tournaments do take forever, but at this age we are generally done in a couple hours. Now I am sure the state tournament will take longer but we'll see. I agree I will never have him cut weight and think it is totally asinine for any parent to have their young child do so. We simply wrestle up a class if he weighs over. Luckily we have only had to worry about that 1 time. His weight is pretty consistent because he is so active. I always give him the option to go wrestle or take the weekend off as I too do not want to be that dad. It is hard not to be sometimes as you get caught up in it, but my wife does a pretty good job of checking me when I get to that point.
  23. I actually pissed a dad off earlier this year. We showed up to our 2nd tournament and was eating before weigh in's started. A dad had a heart attack that Tyson (my son) was eating, even told me how they skipped dinner and breakfast til after weigh in's. My son then proceeded to pin that kid in the 1st round lol. I will never cut his weight, he just jumps up a weight class. He is usually 48-49lbs and wrestles in the 50lb class. He weighed 50.4 at that specific tournament and got put in the 55lb class, took 2nd place. Some of these dads are absolutely insane, I have done a pretty decent job not becoming that dad. We walked in to the wrestling room back in November, not even owning a pair of shoes because I didn't think he'd like it. It's been a great journey for he and I. For him he has learned a ton about wrestling and for me it's been great traveling the state on weekends with him. Usually my wife stays at home with our twins and I just go live on facebook so she can watch him wrestle. I am not sure how long he will want to wrestle, but right now he ranks it above Football and Baseball in order of sports he loves to participate in.
  24. I never wrestled, but back in November my 6 year old approached me about giving it a try. We walked in blindly, not knowing a damn thing about the sport really. tossed him in a tournament after 5 practices and the little shit took 1st place. From there it has been tournament after tournament, usually a top 2 finisher. Today he qualified for the state tournament haha. Just curious if anyone else on here has a youth wrestler, plus boast a little as I am a proud papa right now.
