Gaetano, It's a once in a life time opp.I won the good guy's autox at kc last year and got an invite. Wasn't going to go, I thought I had no business there with all the big buck guy's until Kyle Tucker talked me in to going.It's the most fun you can have w/your pant's on. And probly w/o them also.Only wish I would have left a day early so I could have made the SEMA show.If you have the opp.to go,don't pass it up.You will reget it for ever.GO-GO-GO-GO. Scott Mock.

Your car gets to go to SEMA, Road Racing, Autocross, 0-60-0, and potentially on TV. You have the chance to be crowned the baddest street car in the USA. Can I run for both sites? :unibrow:

NO
:D

Hopefully we'll have a clearer picture in the next day or two on who might be representing our community. :thumbsup:

:lateral:

I kinda figured you did, Scott. I figured it was a long shot but it's still fun to talk about.

Do they allow convertibles?...LOL :lol:

What about you and your car? That would be so cool. :thumbsup:

Here's the deal guys ---- it's SCOTTS decision who goes and represents HIS website... so no matter how much we beg or coerce and jibe each other.... it's his choice.

I can think of about half a dozen people I'd personally love to see get the opportunity... But some people aren't prepared -- some might not have the time off work (boy am I glad I don't have THAT problem! :rofl: ) -- some might not have the desire -- and some might not have the finances.

I wrote Scott -- that if he picks someone that does not have the finances -- My offer is good for that person as well i.e., my offer is not limited to Track Junky I threw it out there because HE said his wife was cutting him off (in more ways than one probably!). They don't have to make public announcement about it - or make a big deal out of it etc... I just personally would be happy to help someone - one of us out if he or she needs it in order to step up to this fabulous opportunity. :cheers:

Somebody should be all over this. It's a serious intense hot rod experience, great people, amazing event- Pro Touring overload! Then there is Sema, if you have never been it will blow you away. Even with mechanical failure I had a blast at the Optima. Contact Scott represent!! He'll pick a Bad Ass car for sure.

The chance to lay a smack down on Bad Penny, come on!!! ha ha :cheers:

I think I'm starting to see your angle. Wouldn't that be like running as two separate entries, giving you more of an opportunity to win, no?

Seriously though, congrats on the invite Todd!

I'd like to see Gaetano run. I'm not sure how Optima would feel about it, but if the community can get him in, that would be great. As Scott said, it is probably a once in a lifetime experience, take advantage of it. Gaetano, you might not be able to get in again, and if you're more concerned about learning than winning the whole thing you shouldn't hesitate to go.

I've had so many socal people from the community offer to help get my car to sema, I feel like I need to pay if forward. I'd happily donate to the cause getting Gaetano, or anyone else there as well.

Matt

Now to convince mama that a week in Vegas is a great idea while she stays home alone with our daughter.


I might have an extra quart of oil to donate, :lol: .

Being a long time member on this site should account for something IMO. :yes:

Another one to toss out Bad Ass car, ASP "DC/Kalis"

But

How about Carl C?

I just happen to have that whole week blocked out for SEMA, the car has just gone through a complete suspension upgrade, and my tires are good-to-go!
