Huge thank you to everyone who made it out this weekend and of course to all of our sponsors who donated items and/or helped make the event possible. We had so much stuff, everyone went home with a raffle item We had a really good time and I dont think there was a moment where I didnt hear people not laughing.

Some highlites to remember:

- Bruce from Family Guy was this years choice of person to mock. It's amazing how you start with 3 people doing it and end up with 20+ doing it. Ooooohhhh NOOOOOO!



- Camp Hood can make a mean chocolate chip pancake breakfast.

- Doing 80mph in a 4 door diesel truck down a very dark dirt road goes from laughing to very very quiet in the truck. (we might die)

- Do NOT ever fall asleep with Warren in the car. You will have a photoshop done of you within minutes (which resembles 3rd grade artwork).

- Lucid Absinthe will keep you warm when its cold out.

- Acme Costume not only has a great selection of hats, masks and costumes, but they stay very professional on the phone when you talk to them in the Bruce voice. $40? Oooohhhh noooooooo!

- There is no mustache wax readily in the Savannah/Pooler area.

- Moates.net stickers stick really well on Mustangs

- If Harmon brings a broken truck, all is not lost. He'll just win a $20,000 motorcycle instead.

- If someone wants to start trouble with me, I can count on Harmon to take care of the issue.

- 1861 came back to the Savannah area at the track.

- Tastes like hate.

- You can drive a modified 2010 Camaro SS Transformers Edition to Chik-fil-a, leave the passenger the door wide open, go in and eat for 20 minutes and come back out and have the car still there and the door still wide open.

- Mazda5s are sleeper autoX vehicles

- Cold brakes will put you in a 180 spin

- Always offer the hotel manager on duty a beer. What burnout? You guys have a good time.....

- Dont ever drive drunk with a company vehicle. Just FYI... the company called me this morning. I gave them the pics and video along with the story of what went down. The lady who I spoke with was less than thrilled of what happened. Ted will probably be looking for a new job on Monday.



so much more......

- AutoX'ing with Rodney results in the fastest time of the day. - Video will be coming soon

- Drifting a Syclone between cones and not hitting one is a mix of skill and luck.

- My trans/truck successfully made it there, raced, and back home without breaking.

- Long bolts + BS3 unit = paper weight.

Happy he could come. I think after we got to know him, he fit right in with the rest of us.

I'm super jealous, he got to ride in just about every awesome car that ran the autox. Heck, he may just have more autox seat time then any of us now.

Jared was awesome. He was always ready to lend a hand helping with everyone. He got in on setting up the raffles table, loading up chairs and putting air in my tires for autoX. He was making friends left and right and was hanging out just like the rest of the crew.

I wish I woulda gotten a chance to get him in my truck for a ride during autoX. I actually went over doing 8 runs cause I was giving rides :rotf: He's got dibs at the next event for seat time, so make sure he comes to the next one. (Nationals)

Thanks everyone for the great time. For my first event I felt really welcome. I am looking forward to the next one. Everyone have a safe trip back home.

Re: Thanks & highlites from Shindig

- Waking up at 5am to take Rodney to the airport sucks....but is so worth it when he hugs you like he just got back from a year serving in Afghanistan.
- Watching a PPV fight on a cellphone with 6 people is acceptable because it's free.
- Scion tCs will smoke em down under braking when you forget to rev match the 2-1 shift at 30 mph.
- Scion tCs will beat Evos all day if you halfway know what you're doing.
- Wayne can drive.
- Harmon can't (I love you D).
- Graham is the nicest guy I've met in a long time.
- I enjoyed watching Jared as I drove him around the autox course more than I enjoyed it myself. I have a cousin similarly affected, so Jared is very close to my heart.
- Tom Mandrov is the man and goes all out when Sportmachines rolls into town.
- Drifting your Dodge on pitch black dark dirt roads will turn grown men into scaredy-cats. I was in complete control at all times.
- You can judge a man by the domain names he buys.
- Rodney can defy gravity when on the toilet.
- Adam is still like family.
- Pope was missed....Ted was not.
- I will never buy a 5th gen Camaro (had to open sun roof for me to stick my head out).
- Harmon is the luckiest unlucky SOB on Earth.
- Always make sure King wakes up.
- Tom Badger don't give a f*ck about pissing people off with burnouts.
- The Red Roof Inn should not have changed management from 2010.
- Savannah River Dragway is getting renamed The Ice Rink.
- $400 Cavaliers are the baddest dirt track cars money can buy.
- I'm in the market for a $400 Cavalier if anyone sees one.
- We have some badass sponsors.
- The Bucc Region rocks.

Thanks again to everyone who attended. We had 30 people by my count and I know how hard it is to make a trip of this caliber (esp. with gas prices/economy/Thanksgiving/etc...), so know that we really appreciated you all coming out.

THANK YOU!

Thanks for the great time! I can definitely say that the group as a whole got along fantastically. If someone needed help, others wod just jump right in to help. Its sort of lile Nats but without multiple little cliques.

I dont think you can consider that place we were supposed to drag race a 'race track'. I think you get better traction in a car wash. BTW - any video from there?

I suggest for the next shindig we ordrr a full keg of Yuenglings....way cheaper than the five million cans we went through.

UFC on the phone was almost as exciting as Ted experience in the parking lot...

Nothing continental about the breakfast...at least the coffee was hot and wet.

Apparently there is an interest by some about some sort of docking...a three-way thing I guess...

I woud gladly pay a bjt more for the event if you promise to turn the heat up about 15-20*.

Great prizes, great sponsors, great memories. Cant wait for next year.

If this is the kind of thing I can expect from a Shindig I'm glad I missed it...:rainbow:
Also to learn what "docking" is in such a graphic way.......It's just not right...:(
That image will be burnt into my retinas for a while.

I did. I'll make a separate thread for videos, because I have a BUNCH. Mostly from AutoX, but some from that drag strip, if that's what you want to call it. It's almost 2am, and I just now got home. Working on uploading Harmon's smoke show, since he requested it right away, and will work on uploading the rest of my videos to youtube this week.

Anybody who gouges their eyes out can send any medical bills to Rodney Bird for reimbursement. Just imagine how some who didn't attend felt when Rodney texted that to them at 1am. You just got docked.

I'll snap some. I'm scheduled to go get the bike for Harmon (15 min from my house), so I'll take some then.

I hope everybody knows that Harmon won a Dick See Chopper. Not sure you want pics of it now.

Re: Thanks & highlites from Shindig

I had a good time. Thanks for letting a minority in amongst all of your awesomeness, even though I own an import, let alone a sy/ty.

I wouldn't have missed the opportunity to spoon with Hood, so I had to make it to the Shindig, and the loss of innocence with the DD was worth it....I think....

You guys are all worthy of a reach-around in my book.
