I come through there to check out my cousin every once and awhile. Last time I came, I rode with my brother and WISHED like hell that I had driven.
On another note:
How is everybody going to deal with the water restrictions recently imposed on this area?

Guys the car show at Newport News park was postponed till Sunday, October 28th, same time, same place. I will repost with a spot to meet for breakfast. I did not see much interest so I did not scope out the best place to eat at. I will post today if you all are still interested.
http://www.vafallclassic.org/
I do realize that since it is the same day as the DC Area Mega Meet, there probably will not be any interest, but just in case, the info will be here.

Anyone coming to the breakfast, please send me a PM or call me if you have my number. Yes, I will give you my number if you want it. Ask for it in the PM. If noone calls me or PM's me, then the breakfast is off, so I need to know if you are coming.

Noone sent me a PM, so I did not go to the Cracker Barrel.
I had a great time at the car show today, saw a lot of NICE cars, trucks and motorcycles, to include a Ford F900 pick up and a Boss Hoss V8 powered motorcycle with 548 horsepower, no lyin'! Anyway, hope you all had fun at the Mega Meet. If you did not go there, then you should have come out to the show. Very nice day for it and it was for a very good cause.

Always wondered what I could do against one, I know they are lighter but less horses. Now I know.
I also killed a 350Z about 2 weeks ago. Same scenario, pulled out from the light a little slow but gradually picked it up. When he realized I might want to race, he got on it, then I did. He was about at my rear door and stayed there the whole way. Maybe not a kill but some respect from him none the less.

Nice kills Dave...I got your message. I've been swamped with school and work. I've been pushing to finish up so I can graduate by August next year. I've been taking at least 18 credits a semster, 12 is an average course load. As for Thanksgiving weekend, I'll be flying up to CT to visit some family and will be flying back the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Depending on when you guys decide to meet up, I may be able to make it out.
I do check this thread at least once a week, but I normally don't have to much time to reply.

Thanks for the info on the S2000 and the 350. With that power to weight ratio, the S should have blown by me. As you know, all I did to mine is the Comptech CAI. I do remember the S2000 being a little slow at the bottom end when it first came out according to the car mags, but I still think that I should not have pulled away. And I don't think it is because I was already in front by a little bit. I think he was even with my front tire when he got on it and was either at my rear tire or maybe a full car length when I backed off.
As for the 350, he was between my doors when he got on it and did not pull closer by the time I backed off (coming up on a redlight with other cars sitting there). It was probably an eighth of a mile with him.
And hey, do your school thing, thats cool. Just don't kill yourself.

HAHA , Thanks DOC, Yeah, I don't get on as much but, I am super biz-e. I work from 8-5pm, go to school 530pm-1030, about to start working from 1am-9am, I have an Infant, wife, dog, my own business on the side, oh yeah, and Acurazine(haha).
SO I am pretty swamped, I read the post I just don't really reply like I should.
I am down to meet up, name the date and time and I can check that out!

Besides, they probably would not look at a new thread anymore than this one anyway. We will just have to bump it or send PM's out to announce something. I have met just about all the guys on this thread, and are all pretty good about answering PM's. I don't want to blow up their message boxes but an occasional one wont make them upset, and some of them sent me their numbers just like you did. I may send them a PM real soon about your wanting to meet around Thanksgiving. As long as they dont have plans, they will want to come out too.

I've always thought that S2000s were pretty fast, but I've never raced one or driven one, so I'm not sure where I got that assumption from. They just look like a fast car. I raced a G35 coupe (don't remember if I had my pulleys on or not) and he pulled about a 1/2 car length on me, then we stayed even up to about 105, then we both backed off. I think the 350Z is slower than the G. It's always fun to play a little bit anyway.

He tried to get on it after I did, but I just walked away. Did not take him long to back off.
