That will be a very noticeable difference and well worth the mounting and balancing. :wink:

All the cars ran like Bonnes should on the highway. :twisted:

Only one temporary breakdown when Pdad left his high speed fans on during a scrumpcious meal of Clam chowder and other seafood and weanie delights.
Quick boost with a lesson on how to boost a car for a young girl who's dad was smart enough to pack cables for her............none of us had cables. :roll:

This is on Tuesday: Just a few disclaimers first there IS some bad language. Second this video is just video clips no music no anything, I dont know consumer editing programs such as iMovie :roll: I only know high end editing software and didn't want to learn the consumer crap tonight. Check it out.

The first video is pretty cool, but I'm told the second one is unavailable. The ramp video is so much fun to watch. Also, I've never used iMovie. I just turned it on, decided it's bad, and shut it off. On the other hand, I have made stuff using Windows Movie Maker...

Total about 2 hours. 2 1/2 max. With John, Bob, Taylor and I spelling each other (we're all very tired and sore). Rear swaybar was done the day before, and he did the rear struts before the trip down.

If you guys get the chance, hit Vince's videos above. His videography is EXCELLENT and gives a good snapshot of the meet so far.

Hitting the track for test/tune tomorrow afternoon! Friday is an off day, then back to the track for competition against the Portland and Seattle Grand Prix's on Saturday.

Silverbullet was near the front, smokin the tires coming around the bend.

Mine was the one that looked like it was going in slow motion. :sad:

The old one in the vid is myfirstbonnie's 89 (95 is on the way, 2k is already here, 3 cars for him/them total).

Matt's new name is alottavagina Matt. There's three Matt's here, so that's how we know them. Matt has 7 daughters. 3 dogs, 4 cats, 8 birds, and they're all female too. Oh, and a chinchilla. Female.

FYI, myfirstbonnie was presented his purple Gearhead stars by Echo, Pdad, an 2ksilverbullet last night at dinner. Congrats, Matt!

Driving his 89 at the rear is Petraman. He flew in for the meet. Not in the vid (lead of the pack) is driverjohn2005, CaddyMatt (2000cadillacSTS), Tracy and Dave (in a rental at the coast still), Hans (inbound today) Bugsi (showed up last night later), and my SLEeper (resting at home waiting fora driver).
