I'll be there Saturday and Sunday. It'd be nice to get a few PT cars together!

I'll be there Friday afternoon and part of Saturday. I have to be back home in the afternoon because of my on-call, but a few hours at Car Craft is better than nothing. :thumbsup:

thanks guys, 417motorsports, your right about the rain, I was beginning to worry that the shoot might not happen, your duramax wagon is awesome, maybe next year all the lat g guys can get together at the nats, it would be cool to meet everyone. After the shoot my wife said good now we dont have to come to the car craft nats anymore and I say, no, now we have to start a new project..

Congrats to both of you guys!! I saw the Bee and it is gorgeous!

My weekend wasn't so awesome, overflowed the radiator on Saturday crawling through the crowd so I didn't get to wander around much, had to drive my old lifted Silverado into the show on Sunday to carry the cooler...I think people actually thought I was showing it, but it IS Minnesota, so I got some positive feedback. :D

Next year we need to get a bunch of Lat-G cars together and represent. I managed to get my car over to my buddies tents later in the day and there was an aluminum radiator/Spal fan vendor...so I got my wife some new anniversary gifts. :_paranoid

Who watched the burnout contest. There was a car that was ripping it up and displaying pinkish red smoke. It seems like he had a canister filled with some type paint that trickled unto the tires. Anyway, my 10yr old got a kick out of it.

Actually a few years ago Kuhmo came out with a line of tires that had flare powder mixed into them for their drift team. They have yellow, red and blue versions. They are very hard to get and fairly expensive when you can.

I believe this car was there last year as well, correct? I remember the saw blade rotors!!
Also, what color is that on the '10 Camaro? Almost looks like Grabber Blue. Thanks for posting the pics.:thumbsup:

It was at GG Columbus last year, competing for SMOY. IIRC, he had some issues with it on the autocross course. It looked huge running through the cones alongside all the pony cars, and the RS Vette. The theme reminds me of Thrillbilly.

That's where I saw it! I didn't go, but saw the pics from the event. I knew I seen it somewhere! lol:_paranoid
It does remind someone of Thrillbilly. THANKS!:thumbsup: :cheers:

Yup. :yes: It would be cool to see them sitting side by side. A magazine should pick up on that for a shoot, with a bonfire and a keg in the background - plain old good times! :D
