BerettaFest 2010 Diary

Same trap speed as my Camaro... Time to juice it then!

[3X00-Modified]

I'm in Ohio enroute home. maybe I'll get some pics up tomorrow. trashed and 4:30 am bed time owns me right now...

[Asylum]

I just got home. 11 hours and the car is running like crap!

AARRRRGGGGGG!

[DTMAce]

That's not good, what happened Eric?

Heck, mine got better instead of worse when I got closer to home. Apparently it does not like heat anymore.

[Asylum]

It has a serious Wideband O2 issue, or the TPS is making a fuss.

I'll have to have a look tomorrow and make sure nothing is loose.

Mechanically, oil pressure, temp etc. are all fine.

Yop of my head notes (to be perhaps corrected)

Lil'Jon.....13.06 @ 106
ME....13.75 @ 102
Pat (Rex 2.0) 13.8 but someone suggested Kevin was driving on that run???
Kurt...15.0 @ 93 (pretty respectable)
Dissimulated...15.29
Styluss... 16.4 when I predicted 16.30's. Still not to shabby!!

There were others of course.

Rodney also ran 13.90 in his all stock '94 LT-350 Camarooo!

Devon ran Pats at a 13.6 or something, Pat actually got the 13.8 And mine was a 13.078

...and to correct you Jon it was 5:30 bedtime today... I remember looking at the clock.

[Asylum]

I got up at 6:30 and was on the way home at 7:30

[DTMAce]

Dang, You left about the same time I did I think. I just wanted to get on the road and beat the heat.

[diedemus]

we just got back like 20 minutes ago, I'm sure Lisa will have pics up soon

[KFLO 93 GT]

On the Drag Racing thing, Devin ran Pat's car to it's best time which I thought was 13.8. I'm not sure though.

Brad with the Ghost Flamed GTZ ran a 13.6 also, whilst only spraying a 50 shot. That's just downright nasty for a Q4.

My car is going to get some changes that should help a lot. The Baers are coming off and a bit of work is going into the front suspension. It made it home fine while throwing intermittent SES lights at cruising speed. It did seem to have some sort of a lack of power at times, but it also has a gigantic exhaust leak. Before I add any more power to the car I'd like to get it down to a 14.6 or 7.

So here are the Diary's closing thoughts, (at least for me).

What a great time and a wonderful group of people along with the associated characters.

Mike, Cliff, and Paul are the backbone of this and are doing a commendable job year after year. THANK YOU!

Ryan (Styluss) and Chad have really stepped up and are making a difference in the overall enjoyment of the event.

Kudos gentlemen!

And now some personal thoughts:

Kurt and I have never gotten along on the net. But I now LOVE the guy!

Sara and I really didn't get along all that well in type, but she is wonderful in person.

Lil'Jon will always be a special and trusted friend, (AND I BEAT HIM HEADS UP!)

Pat, Stacie and the girls, Will and Lisa, Girf and I'm sorry??, The Cack, Joel, Pauly and Cynthia, the Little's, Brad and the rest of the regulars.

Also nice to meet Ace, 13 or Bust!, Ron, Devon and Kel, Dustin, and I'm sure I am missing lots more of you.

A great group and a wonderful experience for an old guy.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Each and every one!

[DTMAce]

You're welcome old man!

It was an immense pleasure meeting you as well. And excellent work on the car, it looked really mean!

[heavywoody]

Gerf and Jen old man! lol...

Thanks for the Labatts... I still have some imported here to NC to finish up...

Mr. Potato Head's ass fell off the pedestal on the way home LOL... I'll have to fix that with all this free time I have now!

It was great to see all the old faces again and meet some new ones this year, thanks to everyone that came for another successful BFest!
