Unhappy Comptech meet - bonked due to power problems!!

Hey thanks to AcuraTL, KJ32, bobowah, moomaster_99 for showing up to the meet.

There were a couple other TLs/CLs there as well but I don't know who they were.

The guys at Comptech are really nice and knowlegable. Got to see some nice rides too.

They had the whole day planned, snacks, drink.. and they also scheduled dyno runs of their supercharged accord.

BUT!! The unexpected happened..
Shortly after everyone arrived at the facility.. the power went out in the building. They couldn't do any dynos at all!! We waited, and waited.. but nada!! So everyone took off..

The started giving away "powered by Comptech" license plate frames.. I got an extra one in case anyone in the Bay Area wants it, let me know..

I don't have any pics yet, I'm stil stuck in analog, I have to wait until I get my pictures back then I can post them.. anyone know how much it costs to get a photo CD of your pics?

Oh well, at least I didn't drive from LA or had to wake up at 6AM to get there.

Nice seeing you there. I was there from 8:30am until 11:35am, that's when I decided to leave. Plus, my wife is pregnant and she needed to eat. So we just went to the outlet malls and went shopping

That's too bad that the power never came back on, what a bummer. I took lots of photos, I'll try to post them also.

Good to see you too..
You wife didn't look pregnant... Is this your first??

We just stopped by Motorsport Dynamics for a quick tour with the LA guys.. They had this badass Supra there... 720HP!

I guess I have to finish that roll of film on something.. new pics of my car coming soon.

oh yeah,
License plate frame has been taken..

Well now I'm glad I wasn't able to make it down. If they decide to reschedule I'll make it next time. Look forward to seeing pictures from today.

    That sucks! Quite a strange coincidence??
    I couldn't make it due to family matters but now glad I didn't make the long trip and start driving at 6 AM! Still look forward to meeting you guys one of these days. Sorry it didn't work out.

    sleep...

    highly overrated.

    moomaster_99, kj32, AcuraTL and myself dragged our butts out of bed early and got there on-time... Someone decide to roll in at 10:15am... :P

    Anyways it was good to see ya again. We got some good info though from Comptech.

    There were some really riced cars in Sacto though ... There were some local Eclipse/Talons at Motorsports Dynamics which where really riced and kind of embarrassing to the import auto scene.
    This is not saying anything about Motorsports Dynamics work or design abilities but with the kids in Sacto. Rice rice baby...

    The Supra at Motorsports Dynamics was in really phat condition. I do commend them on that and would like to see it at the August races.

    oh well...
