Oh so your saying you want in on that? Being you know how Will gets after a few beers. Him and Dan, Mullen, myself, Jeff you know the whole crue. We had it all mapped out last year. Oh and you know I got new shirts this year to wear and I am sure they are appropiate for the trip.

Question for those currently present at the shootout. How many cars on site have 8 sec potential?

Hey everyone, we at ER would like to thank everyone that came over to the trailer and said hi! We had some bad luck with Jeff's car but Lucas won the DSM stock appearing turbo class for the 2nd year in a row!

We are on our way home now. I'll get some pictures up in a while. Thanks again to everyone!

This is a little late, but there were at least a half dozen cars running 8 second passes yesterday. At one point, STM was in 9th place with a 9.1 pass. Based on that, there were at least 8 other cars, just in the quick 16 class that were running 9.0 or faster.






As for English Racing - What happened to the DSM? When I was pulling into the parking lot, I saw the burned front end of their DSM hanging out of the trailer. What caused the fire???

I saw something mentioned about a fuel line coming off. Sucks!!! Glad Jeff was alright & that's what matters!!

Sorry to hear about the fire, having had my own 2008 Evo X GSR burn up in front of my eyes from a similar fate I feel your pain. In my case it was also likely an AN fitting spraying some fuel over the alternator area although it might have drooled down onto the undertray where the external dump tube exited at the time...

^-- Not to go off-topic, but how did you end up doing Chris? I left shortly after we chatted for a few seconds yesterday at the shootout.
