The thefts were a real bummer. I ran into the police early in the morning and they were unloading the blue Chevelle they recovered with the fuel pump switch that stopped the theives progress. I was sure happy to know all our stuff had GPS Snitchs in them. I knew they had not moved.
Shay, your car is bad ass and you got screwed. I was very impressed and think the car needs to hit some big shows. While I do not think anything could beat the 55 chevy that won ($$$$$$$$$) , your car was better then at least one of the cars up there and should have been in the top three. Congratulations on a great job! And I do not know if you know, but you beat both my buddies, Parson and Bruce 67 blue Chevy IIs, they tied for second.
In the meantime, I convinced my buddy to bring his 62 Corvette up, and hired my own assasin. Not only did he get a runner up for the Cup, but out of the 4 Prodigy built cars we brought, he was responsible for the only second place! We would have won all four classes if I would not have forced him to come, LOL! But taking second to a car like that , there is no shame, and he deserved it.
After the awards, we had a great time terroizing the cars. We got the Firebird on the track, but the track officials caught me with no shoulder harmness in the Vette just as we were heading out on the track. Man I was bummed! Over on the autocross, Jagarang did OK with the Firebird and Michael did some drifting / autocrossing in the Corvette and on his first time out got it to a 29.16. All four cars got photo seasions done or arranged (even the Goat, again, for the cover of Year Ones catalog), and our board friends at V8 TV shot the Corvette for the show. Thanks Kevin!
So, car thefts aside which can happen anywhere and are of no fault of the show promoters, The Year One Experiance is in my top shows shows to must attend! There is just to much cool stuff to do, cool people, and the souths most killer cars. I highly suggest marking your calendars for next year.
