Looking forward to trying getting a run next to importlabSRTs (brian) turbo crossfire for this 1/2 mile event with my regal

I remember washing that car back in the day at MB and going for a ride after it got turbo'd

Maybe he'll remember who this is, maybe not

So is the turbo SRT the only Crossfire competing in June?

Hello everyone
Our local friend IBLUBYU (Howard) will be moving to Arizona very soon

He will be joining us out at this GTG so if anyone else wants to say goodbye and enjoy a meal with Howard please come out and join us for this event
Howard plans to be there on Saturday June 1
He has become a good friend of mine and he will be missed.

The forecasts haven't been very accurate lately
It is what it is..... a weather guess
Everyone come on out and if rain gets in the way we will all find something else to do together and still have a GTG

Good luck Doc and Importlab, have some great runs. The rest of you have a good GTG and take pics and vids. Howard, wishing the best for you on your move and it only adds some seat time on your next trip to the Dragon.

I'm sure she's ready, just not squeaky clean.

Everyone has to go. The last one I attended I drove through a monsoon to get there and it was turbulent but dry at the airport. These events can't be missed for atmospheric reasons.
