**SPOOLIN** · 04-28-2010, 09:07 AM

yes, thats the only forecast showing rain on sunday....lol Channel 2 can suck it.

Time will tell, Im ready to roll out.

**gastroker** · 04-28-2010, 09:18 AM

yeah, quit trying to rain on our parade....PUN intended. Here's the actual Reynold's forcast....not ATL
Its now only partly cloudy with only a 10% chance

**mr.koupe** · 04-28-2010, 02:31 PM

Lol that's the first thing I thought, why is he looking at atl weather for something that's over 2 hours away

yep I checked too its gonna be great weather !

**5thgenlevi** · 04-28-2010, 11:39 PM

thats my birthday. free entry would be awesome, but unlikely haha

**LordZed** · 04-29-2010, 09:26 AM

And to further update and quell any of you rain dancers, how's only a 20% chance sound? It's gonna be warm, so bring your sunscreen!!!

**h22 jones** · 04-29-2010, 09:14 PM

can we take a vote since yaw wasnt planning on a big allmotor turn out could be good to make the ones happy that do show up? A vote couldnt hurt anything and it would give you a good idea of who is coming also. With everybody running the same thing its equal either way but just like you i would like a oppurtunity to improve on my best times and thats not gonna happen on drag radials.

**Linchmob** · 04-29-2010, 10:56 PM

I'm gonna be there, though my baby is still at the paint shop, close to done damnit! Rain is so f-ing lame, it ruins shit. The Import Face-Off got rained out at the Atlanta Dragway this year, sucked. But I think this one is gonna be ok. Looking forward to it.

**SPOOLIN** · 04-30-2010, 08:38 AM

man its gonna be warm, Tents on hand!

**CHADbee** · 04-30-2010, 10:28 AM

Im itching to roll out!!

Can we have pro tree for showdown and mod street?

Its really silly having a sportsman tree in the higher classes, almost kiddy like....Sportsman tree is for Bracket Racing and Competition Eliminator.

**OldSchool87** · 04-30-2010, 02:28 PM

congrats on the new license Mike Ill see at the track.

**h22 jones** · 04-30-2010, 02:52 PM

It never rains at silver dollar.

**josh green** · 05-01-2010, 10:09 AM

Speaking of voting and adding classes and whatnot. IFO will add a class FOR YOU specifically if and only IF there are 8 or more competitors on site to race the class. I know IFO is a little bigger business than ISD but its an idea to keep people happy, I guess it would kinda be a "run what you brung" all motor class. As long as the cars are safe to operate lol.

**coreypel07** · 05-01-2010, 06:03 PM

so if I get there around two will I still be able to race?

**mr.koupe** · 05-01-2010, 08:17 PM

1. sunscreen , check
2. beer, check
3. car runs, check
4. gas, food, entrance funds, check

Bump

**Disco Monkey** · 05-02-2010, 08:11 PM

I'm all for all motor getting to use slicks. For two years now, I've been telling the showdown staff at the events they need to allow slicks, but always got the brush off.

**SlamminCRX** · 05-02-2010, 08:16 PM

how was it?

**Robinson** · 05-02-2010, 08:51 PM

fixed!

**LordZed** · 05-02-2010, 09:17 PM

It was pretty awesome! Turn out was the second biggest in the event's history at just over 1,000 people. I had a blast!

Sorry, never mentioned that's not my car. You met my buddy Shelby. That's his srt4, i was just towing him to the track with my truck instead of taking my focus, lol. But i believe i did meet you at the Newnan meet.

As for the show, i had a blast, sunburned as hell though, lol. I have vids of all elimination rounds and half the test and tune sessions. I will post them tom since the g/f took the camera with her tonight.

Matt (spoolin), it was nice meeting you today and congrats on the win. Well deserved.

Mike (GAstroker), didn't get to see you. I had heard that before i got there you made a run but it didn't go so well. Maybe next time i'll be able to get that pic for ya.

**SPOOLIN** · 05-02-2010, 09:35 PM

Lots ad lots and people today was an insanely eventful day and evening. My win was won by the seat of my ass but a win is a win, no to get the insanely silly gremlins fixed that caused me turmoil during elims. DAMN!

A few cheap things to fix is always better than expensive things after winning a race for sure!

**slocussvt** · 05-02-2010, 09:42 PM

Ya, i was glad to hear your car crank up and wasn't pegging out during idle. I believe i heard someone say something about the throttle body?

**JdMhEaD** · 05-02-2010, 09:49 PM

Had a great time, glad i decided to come. I wish my trans did not take a crap on me so the finals against Matt would of been better. My times were about a second off than normal

dang syncros!

**d00d** · 05-02-2010, 10:03 PM

Had a great time today, glad to see so many people supporting something worthwhile.

yeah thought it was that but it turned out that one of my injector cushions blew out of the manifold and was just chillin up on the injector somehow....MAJOR air leakage and under WOT going down the track when it happened all of the fuel for cylinder 1 was just blowing out of that open area cause it to bust up how it was. Gotta figure out a way to "glue" them in. It was so hidden and abnormal that i just happened to mess with the regulator and see it out of the hole right behind the regulator as i was staring down. lol

**slocussvt** · 05-02-2010, 10:16 PM

Nice

**DLASER** · 05-02-2010, 10:20 PM

It was great to see an awesome turnout!

Thanks for the support everyone! This event can only grow and get better with everyone's support behind it.

I had a blast watching everyone race.... unfortunately we had a fair number of cars break... atleast there was really only one delay where they had to clean the track.

Everyone that took pics/video should post them up somewhere and add a link here for others to view.
