    I was going to try to make this one as well. Chris is a great guy and his foundation is stellar! I got to know Chris on the turbomustangs forum and I cannot say enough good things about him. I would suggest that anyone that can attend, please do. This would be a great time for a mini-meet before the Cruise on Central, especially for any west siders.

    ya Chris is a good guy. Hes used the foundation in more ways then just the children in hospitals. He has helped fundraisers for fallen officers and other charitable cause to help with a Kidney transplant etc. Stop by and by a raffel ticket atleast. He will put the money to good LOCAL use.

    Yeah I was seein the work and wanted to do the grunt work of strappin on the rear axles, but I was concerned about not knowing what to look for. Your attention to detail while inspecting the cars in the air let me know that this sh1T WAS SERIOUS. You were intensely professional. Never seen a dyno before...Very dangerous S#!T Bro. Ive strapped down F-4 Phantoms in High power afterbunner tests in and outside of the cockpit. Dude you are Professional and got big Balls in my book. "Semper Fi"!. But...those Holleys....I just do them at Christmas.and just on the walls.:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

    With a few Irish car bombs, flaming Dr Peppers and a couple of chacolate BJs.

    oh tony. Were you taking a nap for the last week or so? I thought you said before you werent going to make it anyways? but yes you missed dyno day. some details abou tit are in the Events forum, and some pics are in the general forum.

    Still waiting for Eric, Silver70, to load up his pics. Hes the only one that remembered to bring a camera that isnt a cell phone.
