I agree Stuart. The more & more I learn about those LS motors the more I'm impressed. I have talked to Scott about his recently and if I wasn't so deep into my Big Block set up I would drop an LS-7 in it.

Thanks guys!
 
I really did have a good time. For the time that I was there My car did not sit in the show area for a total of 2 hours.

Steve,

I did not leave until Sunday morning. I did not realize you were trying to catch up with me. After the parade laps I went back over to the autocross. We left about 5:00 to go eat and to watch qualifing at the strip. I have a friend that runs the 10.5 outlaw class.

Great pics by the way, thanks!, really need to work on that front spring/shock package. I was looking for you too as I wanted to see if you wanted to drive my car in the autocross.

I have video of my drag strip run, Nick running off the autocross course with Steve's (twist machines)car and a few in car and out of car autocross runs. As soon as I figure out how to get those on my computer and post them up I will.

Stuart, please give me a call the next time you are in NC

It's no biggie.. the YO is so huge that it's easy to not find people... get your car done the way you want and we will come shoot it.

It seemed your car was leaning over, but your tires seemed to have good contact patches. PM me your addy and I will mail you a CD of all the pics I took of your car :)

Came out very nice.. and the engine bay looks sweet.

Payton, It was great to meet you! Your car is awesome. I like the pics Steve took. I wish I could of made it to the drag strip with you but I couldn't miss the oppertunitny with Steve. We should look into a track day at VIR, I heard the track is really cool and they do track days. Do you plan on attending any more events? We should see if we can get some people together. Let me know. Vinnie

Hurry up and get 9s so we can run that fact in the story :)

Oh, and don't forget to get me those drag shots.

Tig Man 05-21-2008 07:15 PM

Track day at VIR!!
 
I'd be in for that one!

Vince@Meanstreets 05-21-2008 10:15 PM

Love the car Payton, I too giggled while reading you post. LOL, glad you had a great time out. Its nice to have the option of driving a car out....sound like someone eles needs an enclosed trailer.

Hey Mark, do you still own the blue or did you build something eles. I remember seeing it up for sale.

Tig Man 05-22-2008 04:01 AM

Still own it!!
 
Hate I didn't get on the track till Sunday morning. Was a great weekend, we'll difinitely be back next year lord willing. We're building a hemi Dodge Daytona along the same lines as my Camaro. Hope to have it done by fall!

Mark

Payton King 05-22-2008 07:27 AM

I am still giggling
 
Steve I just wanted to tell you that is one awesome pic of my car...by far my favorite!

I figured out how to get the proportions right and it is now my screen saver.

Imagine going into your State Farm Insurance agent's office and seeing that as his screen saver. I have gotten more than a few comments. LOL

Vinnie, I have pretty much "broken the seal" so to speak on my car. I am very much up for any track days. VIR is about 2 hours from me and there is also a very nice track that is about an hour away from Charlotte in Kershaw, South Carolina. Don't forget they run about 5 times a year at Maxton,NC. That is a standing mile run for top speed...I am all over that one too.

So to answer your question, yea I am up for a planned trip to one or all of these places.

I am going to try and make it to RTTH at Pigeon Forge, TN in Sept. as well. My in-laws live in Knoxville so I know I have a place to stay.
