Here is a video Cheeks put together from our weekend at LSFest.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBabviGG8eo (http://youtu.be/UBabviGG8eo)

Cheeks broke driveshaft which inturn took out the torque arm before qualifiers.

My car started off with a bad plug or loose wire and I was running 13.0 with a cammed f-bucket. I almost cried until I figured it out and fixed the problem, went 11.9 @ 112 on motor. Decided to throw nitrous to it, 11.1 @ 119 with issues, TPS voltage was too high and caused the car to come out of PE mode in 3rd at WOT so the car layed over. Pass should have been a 10.x as the car would have trapped 124-125 like it does normally on that shot. I attempted to fix it and next run I lost 3rd gear.

BgBlockElCamino was having traction issues but did make a solid 10.5 pass before getting eliminated in 1st round.

We all still had a blast though and will be back. :thmbsup:

Geez ... I though it was only stick shift cars that inflicted carnage ... I could only imagine what you guys would have broke if the cars had three pedals ;)

I think iroc when I hear mullet, and c3 or early c4 corvette when I hear gold chains.

When I hear Zaino I didn't know what that was, so I looked it up and saw it was car detailing shit, so I can only assume its a Mustang lol.

C4 Corvette. A local autocross/hillclimb car that the owner was parting out. I didn't want the 383 that was in it anyway, so I got a great deal on the car (IMO). It is hideous. Car has been bounced off about 4 guardrails, but no major damage, just needs both bumper covers, and paint, and many stickers peeled off.

Really? It's a small world. That is pretty much why I am buying it (the rollbar) in the first place, been looking for a C4 roller for a while, then I found out he was in the market for a C5. It was a no brainer, I am probably going to bounce it off of a couple guardrails anyway. Ratty isn't the word for it, not sure if you have seen this thing lately, but it is too bad for even me. Dave has run it into a few things as of late. I will post pics once he gets the things off I don't want to pay for and I drag the thing home.
