I'm sure many people do. I bet Blake or one of the guys will be creating a separate thread of all the pics. I just got back from it and I had a blast.....I mean I truly had a lot of fun.

Plenty of Porsche's, 1 Lambo Murcielago, 1 Ford GT, a few Z06's, 1 Aston Martin, 2 Evo's, 2-3 WRX STi's, few Mazdaspeed 3's, plenty of e9x M3's, and etc and etc...

Also, an E92 M3 Coupe was unfortunately in an accident with a Mazda 6 I heard....I'm not too sure of the exact details, but I was told that many of the cars stopped quickly and all at once, but the Mazda rear-ended the M3. Correct me if I've mistaken since I don't know for sure. I really hope all drivers/passengers were ok after the incident...

Overall, I had a great experience. Wish you could've been there Frank.

Blake · 07-25-2009, 04:40 PM

no, the accident was with bigslick's e46 m3. mazda guy slammed into him and basically snapped a wheel off at the hub. everyone was fine.

Blake · 07-25-2009, 04:41 PM

oh and i didn't take a single picture, but i have video of everything.

i'll go thru the videos and pull the highlights sometime this week. i'm tired right now though, time for a nap.

Great news! It was not a E92. It was only my E46 M3.

And yes, you explained it pretty accurate. Oh well, it can be fixed. I just wish I wouldn't have passed him 5 mins before.

Bigslick2332 · 07-25-2009, 04:43 PM

I have about 3 pics from the parking lot and 3 from the side of the road after the wreck. Will try and post later.

Blake · 07-25-2009, 04:49 PM

that really sucks man. i

e46 m3, too. seems like the mazda guys are always a source of contention...might have to revoke their invite from now on. one of the mazda guys during the last cruise was driving like a bloody moron. i almost had a few words with him after he cut me off for the 500th time.

i heard from dario that the wreck was pretty unavoidable, but still, don't drive a mazda like an f430.

Yea it was, only if the Mazda could brake like an M!

Bigslick2332 · 07-25-2009, 05:02 PM

Glad you're ok man.

It was great to meet you all. I had a great time and ready for a power nap now! Will try to post some pics later. Good times.

Thanks man, wish I could've continued on with you guys!

Couple pictures from the starting point.

frankzlin79 · 07-25-2009, 05:34 PM

BigSlick: What a trooper. Gets his car modified so it can turn corners like a fire truck, yet still posts the pics from the meet he has! That really sucks what happened to you though.

Nawaaz: Perhaps it is a good thing that I didn't go to the meet. I don't want to be rear ended by a Mazda!

DevJ · 07-25-2009, 05:45 PM

Hey guys, I had a blast today. I just got home..I took quite a few pics/videos so if any of yall wanna see. Nawaaz, my friend Sam got an awesome pic of your car I told him to take

Blake- I hate you because your car is faster than mine

I can tell. What did you dyno at?

Nawaaz, here's a picture for you!

Blake · 07-25-2009, 06:12 PM

dyno at autoscope

nawaaz - i see you're really enjoying your beast, you really let her breathe on highway 80! traffic was pretty gnarly though, and you seemed to jump ahead of it. i would have loved to play a little more.

DevJ · 07-25-2009, 06:17 PM

Blake you were being a wimp on the drive home..

oh, i'm somewhere around 360whp or something, i dunno where the charts are. sorry i didn't get into too many runs, my rear tires are brand new and not developing what i consider adequate grip. my rear end was all over the place, those tires need some more heat cycling. those toyo's are great tires, but take some time to get grippy. not to mention, most on the drive was on rough surface, which i hate.
