So, I held an event with a few friends and volunteers yesterday afternoon. It was a great turn out. It was a free event with free food, and we sold a few drinks. O'Brian and JC had come down in OB1s green car. Unfortunately, his alternator crapped out on the way here. He made it back, but not after sucking down 4 batteries.

Well, here's a few pictures of the event that I think are worth sharing. I'm still awaiting the pictures of O'Brian and I together to be edited. So I will reserve a few spots for us.

I hope you enjoy!

INSANE turbo'd bike. There was also a twin turbo'd Viper that I can't find pictures of. And it was FASSSTTT, 1200HP fast.

The story behind the signature tag NSX front bumper is that for every signature, the owner Rob, will donate $1 to next years event. He has another bumper he's been working on, carbon fiber, canards, and splitter all juiced up for some time attack.

Going to this made me motivated to getting Christine, yes the movie, my silver SVT Contour up and running and trying it for next years to drive down! I will upload the pics tonight once I get off work today. I am glad we did not have any rain heading back home and adding wind shield wiper consumption to the equation. the funny part is the last battery with juice gave out when we were parking the green car to its spot and it died out but rolled into place, made it just on time!
 
There's some real nice cars that showed up. Obviosly a lot of people with a lot of money. Why not charge a little $$ and raise some money for a good charity? Just an Idea, either way good job on a nice show.

Well, this started off pretty small, then it got huge out of no where. And we were gonna keep the promises we started off with (free food, free event). Next year, we will be moving to a MUCH bigger location, and there will be a small entry fee per person. We were discussing maybe $2 a person. This time, there will be registration for VIP parking, more vendors than this year, sponsors are already lined up, and a few other things, as well. This was a 2 month promotion and it turned out this big. We are planning on announcing in a few months of the next event, so the new location should be filled up pretty quick.

Very nice! I'm very glad you guys came out. It's been a while since I saw you guys last. Next year, hopefully the cars you guys bring won't have the troubles like OB1s SVT did. lol And next year, it'll be even more worth it.
 
fantastic turn out congrats buddy looks like it was really fun. hope you have another one
 
It was awesome and thanks to you guys for putting together an awesome event. I was so frustrated with my car i didn't even break out my camera. Me and JC were planning on hanging out for a while afterwards, but that didn't work out. Next year for sure.
 
I'm still awaiting my pictures of myself and the ones of OB1 and I together to be finished.

Also, I'm still running into pics of my car in different media coverage. So here's another one.
