Nah, his was put away and that's mine sitting on the table. ;)

Great pics, thanks for posting. I've got a few but nothing great. Will try to post them later. The camera often gets forgotten in the hustle and bustle. :(

Tena and I got home about 3. Unloaded the truck and settled in a while - she had to go to work at 5 :-( Now I sit here with all these cars surrounding me; I've barely even unpacked my clothes but now all this custom work staring me in the face. At least I have the day off tomorrow (Monday) so I can start SOME work.

We really had a great time!

Just got home a few hours ago. Been unpacking and watching TV on the couch. I had a great time as usual, just wish I had felt better throughout the weekend.
I have been severely under the weather recently, I wanted to party a little harder, but I just couldn't hang! :drool:

I skipped the Kiddie Kar/Tia Maria's trip Friday night, I was wiped out. I didn't break out the camera until Saturday afternoon for a late lunch photo of some of us eating pizza. L to R is Chris/DCPDguy, Mark/Shakn340, Pierre/NYSWLhunter, Jamie/Hutt aka Blacksunshine.

Here'a a shot of about 1/3 the room of tables of goods for sale/trade.

Posted Image


Some assorted Wls

Posted Image

Some assorted GMs

Posted Image

Some large scale stuff

Here's a straight on shot of the banger track.

Posted Image

Here's a couple of the many close and wild finishes.

Posted Image

Posted Image

Here's a top down shot of the gravity track, we had some great races here as well.

Posted Image

The weather did NOT dampen any spirits inside!

This apparatus was discovered when my curious roomate was at a quandry as to why the toilet sounded "different" than a conventional unit.
It is some type of booster, possibly air operated? we affectionately named it "The Turdulator 5000".
I had never seen one and found it interesting but I am a little "off" lately with this cold.

Posted Image

L to R, Rick/Bray, Jim/Bunkerjim, Mark/Shakn340, Stew, Hutt/Blacksunshine.
My room always attracts a crowd on Saturday night. As you can see, not too much pain was being felt. Some of these guys went out for Karaoke after this, I was not feeling up to it but I am sorry I missed it to be sure!

Posted Image

L to R Pierre/NYSWLhunter and Nick/Centershock.

Posted Image

My only true regret is that I didn't feel a little better. Other than that it was a great time as usual. JJ crew you were missed!

Finally, a group shot of my bounty after I got everything unpacked.

Posted Image

NEXT!!!

Here are some pics of my haul for the year! Not the best photos but while I had them out I figured I would snap some pics.

Everything in one group...There is only 1 non BWF that I purchased. I couple other non BWF's were given to me...
Posted Image

One I have not seen until yesterday...
Posted Image

Few T-hunts...
Posted Image

Couple chase JL's (not sure if they are White Lightnings anymore)
Posted Image
Posted Image

M2 chase...
Posted Image

Loose BWF's...
Posted Image

Only Non-BFW car purchased...
Posted Image

And I challenged Blacksunshine to a "Rip - n - Race WL for Pinks" race. My Clue PT Cruiser easily took his Sand Stormer.
Posted Image

The one thing I forgot to take with me was a camera so I have no photos of the event this year but I did get a cool video. Check it out. I did a 40 minute edit today and posted it on YouTube.
JLX Overdrives

Can't wait for next year already! Going to make the reservations this week! Mark your calendars for the weekend of April 14th!!!

Ouch! Johnny Lightning does beat them all! ;)

Another great finish. The JL NSX won but the real fight was for second.

Posted Image
Not be undone by having a beater Cockney Cab in the banger event, we had a Classic Cord show up in a later heat too!

Posted Image
A set of JL prizes donated by Tom Z. for CARnival! There were multiples of everything shown here (except the Cudas-those were our event cars for the year). We do have a few of the Cudas left over if anyone is interested, please PM me.
