Airshow/ Exotic Car High speed run

YES!!! 3 More hours and I will be off work and heading out to meet up! looking forward to hopefully seeing the radar get maxxed out! I will have plenty of photos from the event for those not attending....See everyone soon....

 

Hi, my name is Gary. I saw the run at the air show today and I noticed some Vipers were there. I have A Blue with white stripes 96GTS. I love Ferraris and would like to get one, but not right now. I was wondering if I could join in the fun next time you get together. I wish I could have gotten one of those speeding tickets as a souvenir. That was cool.

 

Awesome day even though not everything went the way we were told it would.

I took about 600 photos, so it'll take me a little while to upload them to my gallery.

Here is one of my favorite shots from today.

Gary, do yo live in the San Antone/Austin area...If so, why haven't I seen your Viper at one of our MANY events???

Let me know if your ineterested.

 

I too had a good time. Yes, the event got off on the wrong foot with the Airport Manager(?), but was worth it in the end. It was nice to see the cars get "opened up," just unfortunate we could go a full mile before having to slow down. Thanks to Wes and Doug for the event! Thanks also to those owners who were just fun to chat with. Don't worry Miguel, I won't make anymore wise cracks about you wanting to cut the grass with you CS, lol. The Vipers made a good showing. Let's bring a Viper Tech out next time so they can tell John that it's okay to drive his car, it can go past 70, j/k.

I was feeling pretty beat and had to leave just before the Jet Car unfortunately. No disrespect intended for those I did not say goodbye to as I left.

 

No more Vipers Please!

And Yes, I can drive my car over 70, just it has a fiero engine in it and I dont want y'all to figure out its a kit.

 

yeah, I knew I saw a four banger under the hood<running for cover>, hehehe.

 

Lol. We all know that the drug money isn't as good as you say it is.

Thanks again to those who put this together-it was a great event.

 

Pics please

 

Here are my photos from the airshow. I uploaded all the cars pics first and the airshow pics start on page 6.

Thanks Mike!

So what speed were the cars getting to at the end of the run?

 

It's a long story... The airport manager was a total dick! He wouldn't let anyone warm up their tires and they wanted us to brake at the half mile point, even though everyone signed waivers. They actually thought that we would tear up the runway that huge jets land on. A couple of people got pissed and left.
Then they made Chad (with the radar gum) stand way off to the side of the runway, so the indicated speeds weren't accurate at all.

I don't think anyone was able to go over 165 or 170 MPH.

 

Nice pics Mike. I love those new wheels on the F40...

 

Wes hit over 170, and I believe Miguel hit 171.....Don't remember the actual numbers. Everyone received a "ticket" though with their speed.

 

Yeah, they are nice. I believe Wes said that those wheels are just for his racing tires(Hoosiers....), yummy!

 

Miguel's ticket said 162 MPH.

 

hmmmmm.I thought it was 170.....Oh well, it would be cool to see this done on the Texas Mile.

only 45 miles from San Antonio...hmmmm...

 

Cops... always inflating peoples speeds.

 

lol....he said he hit 170 on his first run, had it recorded on his camera supposedly.....but hey, let's say he hit 200 so he can donate more, lol

 

Great pictures as always. But, no love for the black/blue/purple/saphire Viper?

 

Wow! What a pathetic loser you are.

Don't feel bad, my Viper was only in 4 pictures.

Thanks Mike!

 

Sorry... There are many things I forgot to photograph. I maxed out both of my memory cars.

 

I know, but what can you say? I'm just compensating for my shortcomings.

 

haha...Well it took me awhile. But here a few photos I took, sorry i didnt take a lot, i didnt charge the battery the night before.
