Hooters was mobbed last night as it is every year. I got there at 6:45 and the place was already packed….had to park 3 doors down, but it was well worth the walk!

If you’re into mustangs and fast Fords, this was definitely he place to be. 03 cobras, lightnings, powerstroke diesels, GT500′s, even a few scattered camaros and vettes congregated for food, drinks and big smoking burnouts.

(The guy in one of the older F body Camaros, knowing he was going to be in a tough crowd, wore a mullet wig while doing his burnouts, lol!)

Take a stroll into the parking lot on any given day, and the aftermath of prior years fun is obvious when you take a look at the asphalt….in many places it’s literally melted away leaving only the substrate behind.

This year, they had a concrete “burnout box” beside the building, with a clear view for all passers by driving on 408. I think I’m still coughing up tire compound =o)

Can you really set the ground on fire doing a burnout? Ask Matt at Spartan diesel. Better yet, here are some pictures:

These were Matt’s brand new tires too….less then 2 days old =o)

Oh, and in this picture, you can see how it’s possible to set your brakes on fire. This fire gleamed for almost a full minute! (through the smoke in the pic below, you’ll see the out line of a wheel and the brakes on fire)

Destructive, but FUN!

Thanks again to Jay and Lisa Tucker, Tony Ganyon, Matt Geouge, Chris Jones, Joe from Pro 5.0, Justin and Rebecca Starkey, and everyone else we had a blast with.

See you at NMRA next week!
