    i was driving the frontier through 3-3.5ft of water at the end of the pits near tech, maybe more... that was kinda cool. the ice machines at the last concession stand were floating around. countless trash cans were relocated all over the place... racing was cancelled of course...

    that was most of it.

    WOW..what a mess... I left about 15 mins when the hard stuff came down and started hearing hail crack all over my car.. Luckily someone was in front of me on the way out and back to main st, because if not, I couldn't have seen anything!!
    That storm was wicked... been awhile since I seen rain come down that hard and start rivers!

    Heh, a few guys in Civics actually took their cars underneath the stands once the water started to get nice and high:

    What if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.

    i was making laps back and forth laughing at all the guys fighting for a spot on higher ground . i kept making a nice wake that kept everyone inching further and further up onto the grass behind the stands. i was hoping a few asshats out there would just hurry up and hydrolock their engines when they were trying to do donuts in their civics right next to where i was trying to get out of the hail next to the bathrooms. it was still kinda fun.

    WTF was the deal at the entrance? I preregistered online so I could have the promo price and when I got to the window they said I needed the flyer? WTF in the preregister page it said you could not use both preregistration and flyer? I ended up paying full price because I took a long ass drive to get there.

    What is gonna happen to the guys that paid the "race" price and didn't get to race because of the storm?????

    they said you can come back next friday night for fast fridays and race for free... although that's fucked for me because i paid to race and can't go friday .

    oh, and all i did was say that i prereg'd to the guy at the gate and they gave me the prereg price... although him and 6 other people asked if i had pants and a jacket to ride in

    man, that storm sucked ballz. i almost floated away in my gutted EG. I was hoping i didnt have ne unintentional water ingestion. Whats happened to the b-ball tournament? i wore shorts so i could play which put me out of racing and i didnt even see a ball. good thing i didnt personally pay to get in or i wouldve been pissed (sponsor wristband). So what now, can we get a discount on the next event? lol
    I still had fun too.

    The show still went on after the rain/hail/hurricane/whatever the hell that was let up. Pretty much everything other then the SHOW part was canceled. The bikini contest went down too at like 9:30ish.

    Nice to meet ya too! I just hate everything that happened last night..I know that reallysucks for you guys. When everything happened I just decided to split, I know its frustrating when something goes terribly wrong and then to have 30 people standing around asking questions and taking pictures doesn't help. I hope everything comes out okay..still wanna trade???

    Top 3 things not to do when a storm hovers over your car show:

    1. Peel the artificial fruit off the food vendors wall and throw it into the wind yelling "Now its a tropical storm!!" (I was not involved in this...)

    2. Leave your windows down (doh!) Drop you keys in the rain while trying to get in your car and then sit in your car soaking wet. (I was the ass**** running around in the middle of the storm between the pearl probe and the vehicross.) My cars now smells like a mix between wet dog and ass.

    3. Lightining, even when one is near 30, is still scary as shit when you're sitting in 4 inches of water and it's hitting trees a couple miles away.

    That blows. I did just as much as my friends that paid 5 bucks when I paid 25 you know.

    Ahh fuck it I saw the hottest turbo we4 regal in my life run a 9.8. Worth 20 bucks.

    Also was that dyno very accurate? I dont know but that rhd fd dynoed 215 to the wheels. i just laughed. I wanted to see what it made torque wise probably like 170 something.

    It came down hard as hell for about 20 minutes non stop, I have some pings from it, On a daily driver it wouldnt be a big deal, but on a car that I only use for show, makes it a big deal to me, ya know

    Oh yeah, I have hail damage on my driverside and on the hood as well. The size of the hail wasnt really a factor, but the wind slamming the hail into your car was crazy. That wind was strong as hell and I bout cried as I sat in my car listening to it happen.
