What a freaking awesome weekend I'm currently a bit delirious from the lack of sleep but it was such a rush. I've never been in a large scale car show before like that but the entry price is well worth it when you look at it from a competitor's point of view rather than a spectator, not because you can get inside the dyno cage and stand in front of those snot-nosed kids with pocket shooter cameras leaning against the fence but I think it feels like you've worked hard to get there.
I still think it would've been a different story had we decided to get on the cans on Saturday night but in hindsight i'm glad we were too tired to get drunk.
At last count I shot just under 620 pictures and spent more time standing up walking around than sitting down! But it was all worth it, caught up with lots of old friends within the show circuit and met lots of new ones.
Thanks go out to Doofy and Paul for organising the show and getting it on the road: It would not have happened if you weren't in on it. The wood chip idea worked well and none of it made it's way into my car as much as I thought it would.
Thanks to Christian, Carl, Lauren, John and Carl for filling out the line up and playing a part in our weekend, it was a hoot hanging out with you guys and we all earned the trophies in the end.
I'd personally like to give special thanks to John (Kuma J) for offering accommodation to myself and Doofy to stay at, mate you're a legend and I hope the fuel cards save you some coin on the next visit to the BP. Also can you please stop feeding your cat speed or gas? i'd hate to think what else it might try and climb besides the curtains or steal something bigger than my homeless bag. Pass on my thanks to your flat mates.
Call of the week goes to Carl upon meeting Jazz:
Me: "Carl do you mind if we use your car for 15mins for some photowork?"
Jazz: "Hi Carl"
*Carl glances at Jazz's boobs*
Carl: "hi....are they real?"
Jazz: "yeah they're real" *bounces*
Meanwhile the fellas get instant boneage or has a pants accident.
Can't wait till next year.
