That's actually very nice for 8.4. Many others ran 9 or higher. 7.9 is a good record. Today was too hot. I'm sure many cars will run quicker at night.

Thank You Longo and Vendors for making this happen. Met some new faces from SD too.

I don't think there will be any shortage on pics.. a lot of SLRs out there.. Here's one teaser pic for now.. IS-F Matte Black finish.. The GS-F next to it was just as hot.

It was a great event! Super chill guys that really kept the event in-tact. Also great meeting and putting names to faces. Too bad I couldn't grab numbers before I jetted.

Sidenote* when flipside was rolling around ENFORCING the rules, he sounded meaner than he really is. HAHA.

Awesome meet today guys. I was having a blast .
First, I wanted to thank you our sponsors who come out with all those sick cars and and give us all those awesome prizes. You guys really step it up and came through for us. Especially, in this tough economy.

Second, I wanted to thank you everyone that showed up for this event. I hope you guys have a great time even though the weather was really hot.

Last, I wanted to thanks my awesome team from the bottom of my heart. You guys got everything down and everything handled. Javy & Ryan this meet can not even happen without you guys. Tommy, Doug, Terrance, Phillip, Joe, John, Justin, Jason, Bryan, DJ, David, Ted, Glen, Anthony, Allen, Anna, Rachel, Joyce, my brother in law Tony, my brother Steven, and my wife Cinda BIG THANK YOU.
If I forgot anyone I do apologize.

Lets see those PICS and Video! I see lots and lots of camera out there today. Please post up those pictures. Thank you everyone.

It was nice to join in the pre-event caravan. I joined the 714, and a lot of CL/Lexus owners showed up. The only thing that sucked was it broke up prior to getting on the freeway and I drove along side my buddy in his Red S2K. But I was pleasantly surprised when a caravan from another group came from a connecting ramp and we all rolled together until we arrived at The Pursuit.

The Pursuit itself was nice. I loved being able to run the 1/8 mile. I only did it a couple of times because I felt bad for leaving my buddy in the spectator stand, or else I may have done a few more runs. It was nice meeting some of the members on here, everyone was nice. I took a couple of pics but they suck.

AWESOME meet! Seeing everyone on the 1/8 mile was great. BIG Thanks to all the sponsors and vendors, and of course the staff for making this meet happen! On a side note, I think my raffle ticket got called for the Vaistech Ipod Integration kit but I couldn't find my ticket. -________-

why? all in all I should be making similar power to you... and on top of that the "MY ISF killer" was at first a joke to get a race with one but like I said that last picture I put up was just for you... every other ISF I went up against and beat looked passed the fact that I beat them and thought the fact that I had nitrous on my car was pretty cool unlike you they were respectful instead of getting butt hurt all im trying to say is dont be so serious
