You were there? I think I missed meeting you man!


All in all it was a great meet! thanks tom/CED for always giving us so much support! Even with 30 minutes at a toll booth and a revving match with the Si that I SO WANTED TO RACE!!!

Also I noticed no TR members showed up..hmmm...that says something.

that red balt, we are good friends, i wanted to see how much i stand against a stg 2 balt...i was quite impressed even with my brother inside the car.

for me the best part was the drive on highway, the traffic did suck, the tunnel part was pretty cool.

we tried to get the kit completed and ready in time but we kept running into small problems that we would have to run to the store for or run all the way acrossed chicago for. we devoted at least 24 hours of total work time trying to get the kit in, and that doesnt include travel time. we were pretty pissed to say the least. we got alot done to the kit but the whole weekend was sort of a fail because we couldnt get down there. sorry guys, but, if remember correctly there is a dyno day coming up in Milwaukee, so i hope to show up there but i dont have any details. /end hijack

Yeah, I was there wondering aimlessly around the GM booth, waiting to see what was going on. I tried to make myself look obvious by having my lanyard hanging out of my pocket, but no one paid attention. But yeah, Brandon is the only Balt owner that I met. But, there's always future shows.

Hey, this is the first chance I've had since last nights HIN show. I really didn't know what to expect but right from the start when I got to CED I knew it was going to be fun when a ton of you guys beat me there.
Now that we all know how to swap out a grill kit thanks to Efren. I wish I had my camera for the cruse down town, not too often I see Cobalt's flying past me one on either side lol.
I had no idea how big that show could be. Thanks for everyone that was able to join in. I also want to thank GM Performance Division and Chevrolet Racing for hosting and supplying the goodie bags and entry to the event.

Sorry I didn't have my camera but I can't wait to see the pics everyone else took.

Big thank you to everyone that came along, it was great meeting more of you, and I am looking forward to the next meet.

Yeah man its always good to see ya. I had fun getting killed. I don't mind losing to good, sexy sounding cars. That tunnel part made me car-gasm. You have no choice but to stick around, you're famous...or..infamous? Whichever, you rock!
