This car had some nice equipment. Definitely had a cam, Forgelines, and a ridiculous exhaust. It sounded like a machine gun.

Real nice dude. Told him I was a first timer, and he gave me some tips on what I was doing wrong. After I listened, I was nearly hanging with the R compound guys. Real talk. Peaced him up before I left. That's what the car community is all about.

We sat with the guys with that 81Z at dinner Friday night. We had so much fun Friday night. Good ole New Yorkers right there. Fuggetaboudit. So pissed I could not go the rest of the weekend.

So many cool guys out there. A lot of guys helping people out when they needed it. I’m planning on heading to Bill’s event in TN in September.

Did you see the carnage of the blue widebody stang? That car is sick. It has an LS motor of some sort in it. It threw a rod through the block. And hit a wall. What I don't know is if those events were separate or not.

[sweetbmxrider]

Some awesome photos, looked like a great time. Definitely post up next time there is an event at NJMP, I'd love to spectate/shoot.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

That red Stang the guy drives everywhere. He was at the Goodguys show in PA last fall and he autocrossed all day

A number of those guys do. The drive to tracks all over. Like the Connecticut guys (red 68, primered 67 that is total bad ass race car that is way nicer than the primer indicates) hit lime rock regularly, drove here (snow when they left), will drive to Gingerman in Michigan in June and other places. Those guys are what 'pro-touring' was all about before marketers & wannabes jumped in. Making old cars perform like new ones both on the track and on the road. The touring stems from things like the power tour where you drive your cars long distances. It is not the ice cream & cruise night guys with 17s+ that won’t leave their county. I am totally in line with the pro-touring philosophy.

Yeah the funny part is Chris and I judged him when he pulled up, saying he was all show. Then he immediately pulled into the autox paddocks.

Damn I need a 6spd....This is real racing to me.

why was the challenger mad?

[BonzoHansen]

That 69 above is Mike Manning's car. He owns American Autowire in Bellmawr. DSE built, IIRC came in 2nd in last year's Good Guys Street Machine of the Year (a prestigious award builders kill to win). nice to see it is used:

White TA is our friend Albert's car; Mike's 69; I think that Chevelle is a Hamilton kid; I think the BMW is Takid455's car.

The garage door by those cars is where we pushed my car into Friday night when the distributor decided to expire. Fixed & running again in no time. How awesome the track guys opened that up for us. The wind was cold cold cold at 4 pm friday afternoon

lol ok. That is how some of these guys are. They aren't afraid of stuff. Some guys are afraid to leave their car alone for 10 minutes to go get ice cream. Then there are these guys.

Not only can they (the CT guys even drove down in a snow storm Friday), but they can do it better, and with their own running cars. :p

[donnj]

Great photos! thanks

[The Fixer]

Awesome pics!! I met a few of the NY guys a few years back at the XV Motorsports open house, and they were all super nice, real car guys.

[TaKid455]

quik - your were there for a tad and then gone like a bad fart. Hope your car was OK. I was in the BMW. Hope to have a T/A next year.

Awesome time was had by all. Hope others attend next year that missed out.


...and yes, those vette guys were fast. Black one was supercharged and went home on a rollback.

[TaKid455]

[QUOTE=BonzoHansen;759578... It threw a rod through the block. And hit a wall. What I don't know is if those events were separate or not.[/QUOTE]

Happened in 1 event.
rod was throw
oil hit track
driveline locked due to blown motor
lock tires slid on oil spinning car into rail


a late 90's mustang lost its load too.

Not a good day for the Fords even if one was chevy powered. (crash, blown motors, torn fenders) the Olds wagon & 78 Camaro had engine issues and called an early day. Albert had tire issues and sat out. We tried to figure it out, and concluded that the rear tires where coming apart inside.

[BonzoHansen]

We were talking about his old ass tires the night before.

[coolmanvette75]

sweet shots! looked like you guys had a great time.

Didn't put two and two together that that was you on Saturday until just now. I was just wiped that day. Car made it home fine but the brakes are shot now, and the power steering fluid frothed. Good times no less, but just felt it was time to go. Some shots of your car in the album by the way.

[qwikz28]

why was the challenger mad?

Not the Challenger. The guys that think the car is too large to be athletic. It did just fine on the track, but the driver randomly stood on the brakes on the second run a few times. Caused quite the scare to a few of us.

[BigAls87Z28]

Not only can they (the CT guys even drove down in a snow storm Friday), but they can do it better, and with their own running cars. :p

$200 bucks says they wouldn't even make it down the highway in the snow we hit, let alone drive on that track with 6 inches of fresh snow. Driving in some slush, and plowing through half a foot of snow are two very different things.

[CHRIS67]

Totally missed the post for the RTTS on ProTouring.com. Grrrrr. Maybe next year. :nod:

[JL8Jeff]

Looks like a cold, but good time. But Geez, pro-touring first gen Camaros are totally played out! :lol: They're a dime a dozen. Did they have any type of safety requirements before letting people on the track? And Scott, looking at all the other cars, you're definitely going to need a front spoiler if you want to hang out with those guys. :mrgreen:

[BonzoHansen]

Jeff you are right. I need to order the OE front spoiler for my car. No spoiler = front end lift over 75.

A guy did a cursory tech inspection on our cars (he appeared to be employed by NJMP, but I am not sure). He also inspected our helmets. Besides that, I don't really know what else could be done. There were no requirements that I am aware of, but my car passed. :)
