I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

This was an UNREAL turnout. There was traffic backed up almost a mile on the highway to get in. Barely room to move. Once some people cleared out we got crazy amounts of runs. I think I ran like 8 or 9 times by the end of the night. I had tons of fun plus it was close to home. I have some pictures that I'll upload tomorrow.

Definatley an assload of cars, took almost an hour to get in. It was well worth the wait, had an F'in blast. Ended up getting 7 runs in, could have easily gotten 10 or more if I wouldnt have taken a break for 2 hours. :up: :up:

at first when we rolled up i thought it was gonna be lame and looked like a huge cluster fuck compared to zelianople's but it ended up being a good time - i would have liked to get my car together so i could have raced but at least duanne let me spank munster with hiz VTaK y0!

the turnout was definately intense - a lot more than expected. I think duanne, munster and knauff (among others) just sat back and chilled for a good hour or two without racing and still all got a shit ton of runs in.

I talked to one of the guys and they said due to the turnout, they're most likely going to have a bunch held there next summer, so :up: for local races

munster - i'd love to see you and duanne go at it in a full 1/4 mile ... i bet it'd be real close. His car screams 12's all day ... just needs to go through some launching courses to drop those 60's and he's there for sure.

Definitely needs to launch. I was curious as to how that GT28 was going to be. So much fun racing it, though. Swapped back and forth the whole time.

Definately a good time. I knew as soon as we rolled up and saw the line of traffic backed up almost to mcdonads that it would be a good time. I heard someone saying they were only expecting around 500 people and around 1200 people showed up so it was a great turn out. Hopefully after seeing how many people showed up that they consider making a track. I have some videos ill host up here in the next couple days. Munster that race couldnt have been closer you'd have me everytime till the end. It was awsome. I'll host the stock block shootout here maybe tonight. GT2871R B16 vtakkkkkkkkkk whuuuuttttt. On the way home we go to pull out of mcdonalds there in Ebensburg and across the intersection we see a pony but not an ordinary pony its was a saleen. So he pulls out and heads down the highway the same way i go so im hauling ballz trying to catch up and i finally do and we see its a bunch of young kids so im like fuck they'll race that thing. So im sitting beside them in 3rd gear and the kid just looked over and laughed i was like what the fuck ya know so i just hammer it. Then they caught up to us so i sat there beside them and blew them off and stepped on it i did just about everything to get this pony to race but he would just look over and laugh. Finally Dan told me to pull up beside them one last time so i did and we just sat beside them while dan flicked them off it was halarious :middle: anyways it was a good time flashlight drags are awwwwwwsssooommmeeeeee.

my civic was acting up, it ran fine for 4 months and all the sudden it decided to heat up like crazy this weekend, i dont think its a HG, but it is possible to get a defected cometic head gaset. im getting a bigger raditior this week and i hope that helps, i changed the thermostat tosay and it still heats up 3/4 on the gauge.
