post up your dfw goodguys expirience.

When did I miss the green rs chevelle hitting a pole and did anyone see the badass "c2zr1" corvette? Sick!
On another note I really enjoyed the auto-x and meeting some of the vendors! Couldn't have asked for better weather either.

Can someone please post pics when you get a chance. I live in Dallas and can't make it. Working all weekend and when I get off, showtimes will be over.

I went but did not take any pictures. Alot of great cars there.

Saw quite a bit of junk there too! Lol I've determined I've been way too humble on the build of my car! I'm holding my chin up a little
higher after today. Haha

Man I went and I'm worn out from all that walking. That's crazy how many cars they got in TMS. My first time watching the Optima Challenge. That was great to watch. Of all the vendor tents I went in it figures that Detroit Speeds crew was the most attentive and cool. We were super ignored at the PPG tent like we had the plague. Walked thru the tent with my brother and no one even acknowledged our existence which is hard at 6'2 240 and 6'3" 300.......

Yeah I'll agree, they weren't too cordial. I went and grabbed a couple of beers from them and went to dse's tent.

Hi all
I went Friday & Sat. I spoke to the guys at DSE and went for a ride in the new 63 Chevy II. Ryan laid down the fastest time of the day with my fat rump in the passanger seat. That guy can DRIVE he is so smooth it's hard to explain. I'm always so impressed on how nice the vendors are. They are were all class acts. I was there when the RS Chevelle went through the fence. He was hard on the gas coming to the finish line and through the timers. He locked up the brakes and slid into the fence. On Sat I rode in the Gateway yellow Mustang. We spun on the end of the first lap. I was laughing so hard I also lost it. He looked at me and said lets have fun and try to finish.
We spun two more times. I think we did 3 donughts. We came to the finish line and we were both laughing so hard we had tears in out eyes. Not the fastest time but great fun.
I think the only down fall was there were so many people this time doing the auto cross that it really limited the vendors so the rides were limited. I loved the No Limits 55 Ford truck very cool and fast. I also loved the white mini fast street car time except for the vendors. The 66 vett was cool but he couldn't believe how fast the 90 hp 67 mini was that he could not beat it. I was so impressed with the 63 chevy II that I think I'm going to find one and build one just like it but with a crate LS3 and an auto. It would be the perfect daily driver.

I may have convinced a friend to build one after he saw the DSE Chevy II...too.

Guys, Sorry to inform you that Ryan in the Chevy II did not end up winning with the fastest time. Kyle with DSE came out on the last run of the day with a passenger and put up a 39.765 to beat Ryans 39.924, I guess the boss wins again!!!

I am glad you liked the Mini and the No Limits truck they were both really fast. Also the 32 of George Packard was nice to watch.

For 2011 there will be 15 AutoCross events in the Goodguys Schedule!!!!!
