Nice to finally meet you in person, Nick. You're quite the character - I nearly spit out my drink at the awards ceremony a couple times because of you!

Nick, I have to say I'm disappointed, I REMEMBER the thread from last year where you were again praying for a decent ET, and yet again no good results. Get to the track man, rep the mk3 in the 1/4, someone has to! Good burrito wrap up though

Jose is the Man!!!!, huge props to him for driving out and saving my butt.
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!

There is alot of great people in this community, particularly Jose and Tyler (not sure of your SM name) from AZ that trailered my broken car from the track to the hotel and drove his car (on slicks and no wipers) in the torrential downpour of rain back to the hotel......we only made it a few miles down the hwy until he spun out right in front of us and was facing us in the next lane, we almost clipped him with the truck/ trailer/ my car it was CRAZY!!!. So we parked his car and he hopped in the truck and took me to the hotel.

We ended up leaving Vegas at about 9:30 pm and we hit the hwy and Dave (Grimjack) HID headlights gave out, we pulled over and he rewired his headlights to run off his HID fog light ballasts. We drove till 3 AM and stopped in Wells NV, then slept and drove the next day from 11 am till about 1AM.

Good to see you again Nick...is wa great to meet all these people that i have been dealing with the last few years, Andy ARZ, Aaron and Dave from DM, Eric, and every one else whose names I forgot.

Thanks again to everyone that helped out, and to all the people that I met, it was a very eventfull trip.

Register that car in a state that isn't run by a Nazi socialist dictator that wants to "terminate" anything remotely fun..

I think the details of this are up on SM & SF...but my view was pretty spectacular.

I also left my street tires back at the hotel, so Jerry R. let me pump'em back up to ~35 so I'd be able to drive it. The rain kept me a good 6-7 car lengths in front of Keith & Chris in the minivan, last ones out of the lot, and about 7-10 minutes behind Tyler, Randy et.al.

I had Keith on the radio when we saw Tyler's car off to the left side of the freeway, and what looked like them trying to get the trailer back to that point. We missed the spin-out, so we were left to think that maybe a car fell off of a trailer!:1zhelp: Thank God that wasn't the case, and it looked like an entire team of guys were out there in the pouring rain, so we didn't stop.

...well, we tried to slow down a little, but then my back end began to slide back & forth. Taking my foot off the accellerator only made it worse, as the weight of the car pulled the slower moving back wheels over the surface of the water hydroplaning. I SLOWWLY got back on the throttle and over what seemed to be 5 minutes, brought my speed down to 40mph.

Stories like this are things that will make this event that much more memorable. Thanks to all the Supra bretheren who lend a hand to those in need!
