Yes I have to say that was the best meet that I have ever been too!!! Thanks Chris99svt, I had to go pick up another set of boxers on the way home!! Hopefully next time my car will be ready and we will really tear some **** up.
I got some really good shots on the camera. I even got a ronin-esque shot. Basically the camera was facing out the rear window when chris decided to pass someone on one of those small windy roads. So you see us go around this car, then you see Josh (mystikal) pass the same car. It just looks awesome!
For the next meet I will buy some walkie talkies and I expect other people too!
IT was good to meet you speed demons and unnerv, and good to see everybody else.

Chris99SVT was leading (rather trying to lose) Stinger and I in the twisties. I was behind Stinger and Jason. Chris99 kept getting faster and faster so Jason and I followed suit. But I found out that my Dunlop's don't grip the road quite as well as Chris and Jason's G-Force tires did. As I came around a R-turn my back end came out to the left, I counter steered but I was going too fast and the back end came back right and swung me around 180 degrees. I ended up facing the other way on a dirt bank. If the bank wasn't there I probably would have made a full 360 and in the woods. Nobody was hurt and I "won't" do that again (in dunlops anyways  ) And James video is awesome. Way better than the first video.

Hey James, you wouldn't happen to have a capture card would you? I would love to see the video that you made. I brought my camera but alas no one to hold it. Next time I am going to have to see about a way to mount it to the dash or something.

Sorry I don't have a capture card. I have no way to get the video onto my computer.

that was a fun drive. But chris was frickin crazy out there. Once again he gets me to do stuff I wouldn't normally do. Parts of it were very high speed, that hill on Highway 1 for certain. Saw it from a distance and just had to tangle w/ it. And it was really freaky watchin Mystikal spin. Just saw the back-end come around, and was like holy-****. An di'm dieing to see that video. And my girl doesn't seem to hate me too mucb right now, just a little  -Jason

I am so glad you all had fun!!! Toad your absolutly right about your post, and Bill thank you for noticing that I always try and make the rides safe, in fact these guys have listened to me ***** at them before for acting stupid, and trust me if I dont say somthing Sandra will! yes we love to drive fast and that is all in the fun with these drives, yet I would like to think no is going to be dumb enough to put any ones life in danger, Yes there were speeds of over 100mph but you have to realize this was on a wide open road where there were like three other cars on the road other then us and it was a straight road with no turns for miles.. so I had faith that we were not being stupid, as far as the SI post, man I have been sent post on those idiots many times before, they seem to think they are driving tanks or somthing cause everytime I look one of those rice heads are killing each other or somthing, I remeber a while back where they had planned a night drive through the hills, ok number one thing never plan a night drive in the hills that is just dumb second they cant even drive through tunnels what the hell are they doing in the hills, any way one of there guys some hw flipped his car and well al the other didnt see and duhhhh a chain reaction a few pees were killed, yes this is a scary thing, yet I would say that our folks have a better head on there shoulders. I have had a few times where I have felt the need to pull somone aside and say hey you need to chill the hell out and well they have, and those folks also know who they are, any way we are here to have fun, not tragidy and I feel that we all had fun, in fact a close call could happend to any one, sandra and I decided to stay in the back of the pack for the hills drive and well we were just crusin down this little famr road before you hit the hills and right then outta no where this truck just pulls out right in front of us, I went to swerve around him, when he saw me he just started leaning towards my car he was gettting closer and closer, any way I cranked harder and got the tail end of the car in the dirt and ended up on three wheels, just barley missed getting mauled by this huge truck, and then the same truck was driving down the same road when he almost ran another car off the raod coming the other diretion, it was scary but you know I happend to remeber us only going 45 at that time...

I had a great freakin Run! Great Place for testing out the suspension, my car handled great up until the traffic would hold me up from the lead cars  Mystic my girlfriend thought you looked liked a scared cat when we rounded that corner going twice the speed limit with you covering both lanes. I pulled over to make sure you were Ok and i scraped the right side skirt and popped it out of place. But im glad you and your SVT were fine. My girlfriend also enjoyed the ride but probably to fast for her on the swerving turns. I could here a bit of wheel spin as I'd punch it out ov every turn. The cold air intake felt great up there with the cold weather. Anyways make sure im on the list for the next run. It was good meeting everyone, and wish we had more of you out there.
