Here are a few Pics from the meet. It was great meeting everybody and despite the lousy weather (hail and rain) we all seemed to have a great time. We have some dyno numbers on a few cars now, but I will leave posting those to the members who dyno'd.

GMPP truck.

Tom on the dyno.

Great pics Ken. I'll get mine up here shortly as well.

My Dyno didn't go well... the automatic didn't agree with the testing and it kept reducing power. We did both Competition Mode and Traction Control off but SSuzy-Q kept fighting back.

Someone suggested pulling the ABS fuse but I didn't want to go that far into it... I was already 2 of 3 pulls into the Dyno.

The manual transmissions all seemed to do well tho.

Sorry I couldn't make it but this Cancer & feeding tube is giving me a herd time, I hope to meet up in a few weeks, I hope every one had a great time the HHr's looked great all lined up.

Very nice pictures

expecially like the nitetime shots

Rudy... you're good man. Would have loved to have you but the weather stunk so save your energy for better weather meets. :)

Here's my couple pics that Ken didn't already post:

2010 Camero

Not sure the year on this Chevelle, they had several classic Camero's there as well.

The row of HHRs and Balts:

Video!

Wish he wouldn't have sped up the end, but it's still good.

THE BATMAN · 04-29-2009, 11:02 PM

Ya , It was a Rad Cruise !

Wow that video is cool... makes me want to go again.

For those that weren't there it wasn't as chaotic as it looks in fast motion. Just a lot of slowing down and turbo'ing up to speed.
