Well I just got home... terry and them should be pulling in by now. About 10 of us did about 90-100 all the way home so we were a tad ahead of them

[StormShadow]

I just walked in the door and caught the end of the Cowboys game.

[98Cobra]

Just got home 10 minutes ago. We decided to take a different route and came down 169 to 75. Enjoyable drive!

[L2nv]

Showed up to work tonight at about 6:15.... suppose to be there at 3:00pm.. so they suspended me!! Eh, oh well it was worth the trip, hope everyone made it home ok!!

Just got home about 45 mins ago. Special thanks to Terry, Linda, and Curtis. Tranny on the truck went out in Kansas and Terry had to haul me home. Linda and Curtis were life savers and let me drive the Focus the rest of the way home. I guess I will try the warranty route and if that doesn't work I will get a PR built tranny. It sucks, but it could have been worse.

[REXRENEGADE]

Linda and I dropped Jacob and Melissa off, we got home about 7:00 PM. We had a blast!!!! Loads of Fun. Can't wait to do another "Eighth Mile Burnout"!
:burnout:

[Sixpipes]

The new route coming home was awesome. We got about 18/19 mpg. Mark got all the way from Olathe, Kanas (30 miles from Kansas City) to Plano on a tank of gas. :eek:

Excellent................Congrats to the Glenn Clan. By the way...now that I have met all three of you, the Raccoons in a junk yard analogy fits perfectly...:tu:

[SILVER2000SVT]

I made it home at 2:00 this afternoon. Ended up leaving at 5:30 this morning after I woke up at 4:30 and figured I would just go ahead and leave. Glad to see everybody made it ok?

jacob sorry to hear about your tranny, and to think you were worried about your SC....:)

Great times, this was my first Lfest, I never knew what I was missing before.knana

[tiffo60]

no doubt we were rolling, after jake blew his tranny and they got him loaded up i took off ahead to get gas and i went probally 100 miles or so about 95 and 100 to get far enough ahead i could get gas and catch the convoy when they caught up and i bet i wasnt at the gas station 5 minutes and i called mike to see were they were at and looked up and they were all flying by on the highway so i had to double time it violently to catch them

Thanks to Aggie Michael and Steve-O for getting us to and from Kansas City with no tickets!! Thats awesome considering how fast we were moving!! Theme song should have been ----- Ludacris: Move bitch get out tha way!

Trevor's truck is one awesome looking Gen 1. Go_Rila is still lookin badass too.

Michael and Steve-O driving fast, now that's an understatement. Glad no one got tickets again, three years in a row.
I think I came the closest in our group at the KS toll booth.

I came pretty close on the way. Michael said that a undercover car came over the hill right after I passed a guy on the shoulder (which was not smart, but felt right at the time). Karma is a bitch. Guess that is why my tranny is broken now.

[Sixpipes]

Sorry to hear about your truck Jacob. Glad you guys made it home safe. :cool:

I appreciate it Dennis. At least I got to jam the tunes in the Focus. Apocalyptica the whole way home. I need to give it back to you next time we have a group event.

[02BOLT]

Grats to Trevor on the win in the show class!:tu: Looking at that thing makes me want to spend some cabbage in the looks department on mine. Ya know....just a little some'n some'n to set her apart.;)

Beautiful truck Trevor.....runs pretty darn nice too!:burnout:

[L8 APEX]

I got home about 7pm and parked half arse in front of my house. I took a shower and slept from 730-7 this morning, ahhh;) . Good trip fellas:tu:

[Tobbun]

Here is a picture of my Dad and I in front of the truck holding the goods...

I think the truck was also real close to winning best in show (audience voting). Maybe if a couple of talon members would have stopped by on the way out... :)

Gunman also got 1st place in the show in the Radical Division. He has an amazing set up when he is ready for the show... Even his Jack has the lightning theme going.

Our best time in the 1/4 was 13.648 which is ahead of Bluto when we ran it last year with street tires.

[Tobbun]

And I thought he was just into the AC business...

Excellent................Congrats to the Glenn Clan. By the way...now that I have met all three of you, the Raccoons in a junk yard analogy fits perfectly...:tu:

Hey Rocks, I think I said "we were like three Racoons in a GARGAGE DUMP", but as you could see, It was a pretty good comparison! lol

[Tobbun]

I thought it was a little ironic that the SL class came down to Texas vs Colorado, just like last year. It came down to two black trucks this year versus two white trucks last year.

Unfortunatly the result was the same.. Colorado 1st, Texas 2nd. Maybe we can get them next year.

Again, I though Gary did an amazing job getting through all those rounds in the SL class. He had to work for it, where last year I got a lot of help (red lights, bye into the finals, etc).

It was a blast... I am already looking forward to next year...

What will we ever do to keep us occupied until then... :)

[03LightningRocks]

Hey Fred...that's right, I remember now. Just be glad I didn't say three skunks in a garbage can:d .


I agree with Trevor about Gary. I go to alot of events and sometimes I see fellows win by only going through two rounds. Putting five drivers on the trailer is something to be proud of. Good work Gary.

One more thing. Red lights count as wins too;) . It means you intimidated the other guy so bad, he lost control:cool: .

Rocks

[Crawford]

Trevor: Good job on the win.

The alternate route home was a winner. Lots of cool stuff to see. Thanks to Dennis for the alternate path.

I had a blast. It was great to hang with everyone again. Cant wait for the next one!

Thanks for the kind words Trevor and Rocks :beer: . Trevor when you told me it was Tx vs. Co. last year also i thought that was a little ironic also. :cool: . But as you stated the results were the same :mad: .. Oh well... I Had a hell of a time doing it ...was just glad to represent the TALON club in another event. Great bunch of guys..(and girls). :beer: - Gary

Thanks to you for hanging around and taking down the erector set tent(that we all loved) and hauling the bricks.
Nice to meet you.

I do not know what you are talking about. I have no recollection of Oklahoma and/or most of Kansas though......even the pics Heather took of the plains area, on the way up there are blurry.
