Well all the pictures have the car and the time in the following picture. The times are in there for a few of the top 8 cars. It was blazing hot the first two days.... 115 degree heat index... rest was cooler. Everyone behaved for the most part.... lots of beer consumed... Russ was on top of the Denny's putting Jegs stickers on the building... Ken behaved...

Did Ken brake anything?

Yes, I braked the omni while I was driving it (WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN YOU COME TO A RED LIGHT). I did not break anything, haven't in several years...

[Frank]

You broke the Charger last year.... remember that piston?

I think I was racing him when he broke it.

I'm curious if it was worth it. Which is better? SDAC or SRT/SDAC?

It was worth it, no doubt about that. It was different from the typical SDAC, but it was cool to show the SRT guys, their sponsors and the handful of chrylser engineers there what the old school cars can do. I think they were all impressed.

The SDAC turnout was way down, but we still had a great time. For once we got everyone in the host hotel parking lot to hang out in one area, all chilling and relaxing (chillaxing). All the hardcore regulars were there as well as a few newbies. We even had Barry out until the wee hours of the night a few times. I don't think I got to bed before 4am the whole time.

It was as much fun as any SDAC I've been to and those that decided not to go really missed out in my opinion.

Dave said it very well..it was different, but still an absolute blast. Definitely well worth the trip.

Nobody answered the question exactly. You said it was fun, but...

[slasky]

It sucks that I could not make it this year. I will be there next year, with my charger, even if I have to bring the whole family with the charger in tow. Barry where is next years SDAC going to be.

[BIGBRUDDA]

OK guys, will an attendee please clarify a few comments: "skittles"? And "the Hooters thing"?
Why no "shootout" between the "pros'?
You guys had steak at the banquet!................... Now I'm hurt.



P.S. Sorry Frank. My cheapa$$ govt issue monitor won't display picture captions accurately.

[Frank]

We refer to the SRT-4 guys as a bunch of skittles as they pile up in different colors at the line, farting, poping, missing shifts. LOL. The Hooter's girls came thru the pit area since a SRT-4 happening was dinner at Hooter's. The girls then came by the second day... basically kissing butt. We had awesome steak at the SDAC dinner.... TM sponsored the steak itself. YUMMY!

That's tough to say...it was a fun, but it was different from the past. In my eyes, mostly because we did not have the SDAC turnout we usually get which I think is primarily because it was in Topeka. We lost of ton of people from the east side of the country and I really did not see anyone that we picked up from the west.

The combo with the SRT group had a few hiccups...probably fixable down the road, but I think location is the key. If they are in Topeka again where we can only draw 60 people, it's a bad move on our part to go back with them.

But...it was a damn good time!

Are you sure you are talking about me?!? You are now on my "Good Guy" list! Ha Ha!

Hey, I tell it like it is. And for more fun check out "The Couch" pulling away from the "Skittle"....at least until my shift linkage came off when I went for 3rd gear! I still don't know why I jumped HybridKid's SRT-4 when our reaction times were pretty close. He was running N2O and a bunch of mods and was definitely quicker as I believe the car was in the Quick 16. Maybe he missed a 1 to 2 shift???
