I just got back from Nopi MD., and thought I'd share the good news. Sat. night- I saw him purge for the first time of the day, so I knew it was on. He might have sprayed the first two runs but I didn't notice. He went 7.85 at 182.:thumb: Today he got a bye in the 1st round, then faced Gary Gaurdella in the 2nd round. Make's a hell of a pass and stop's the clock at a 7.81 at 185.OMG Gary ran a 8 flat at the same speed, so shep move's on to the finals to face Jason Hunt. For some reason he ran his slowest time of the weekend in the final's, which was an 8.25 can't remember the mph. Didn't win the event but made some awesome passes!:thumb: to shepracing. Here's a couple shot's of him and a few other shot's from the event.

Who's car is the burgundy 1gb?


Are you talking about the one with the light covers up front ?

If so the color of that car is actually AN fitting Red. Its Showdown Motorsports car. Very nicely set up car.
 
I would like to see shep and that HKS skyline go at it one day..........


Small time shop vs world wide company
 
Didn't the HKS skyline go into "retirement" So unless they plan on taking it back out, your wish may never be granted. Either way, Shep's on course to blow their record out of the water, hopefully before the end of this race season, I may be packing up my bags and heading to Norwalk to see if he can do it.
 
Yeah they just keep in on a showroom floor.......My dream will never come true
 
Did you get a pic of the other green 2g running? The showdown car is pink and has a gt42r on it.

I have a video of his 7.81 pass. I'll get that online as soon as I can.
We'll be expecting that. I really am interested in whether or not he launched it hard as it seems like he's been taking it easy out of the hole. If he's still taking it easy it'll be interesting to see what he runs in October. I would expect at the last event he won't hold anything back.

He might be taking it easy on the launch's, but what do I know. It didn't seem like he was launching like I've seen previous, but I was a little busy taking pictures.
 
Guys he ran a 1.25 sixty foot. Another record. HE is not really taking it easy out of the hole.

Haha, I told you what do I know. It's kinda hard to judge his launch through the viewfinder. That's horrible, he already has a second on me within 60'.ROFL
 
First off I want to say a big thank you to the hundreds of fans that came up and said hi. It is truly amazing how many people still like a 16 yr old dsm :) We had a decent weekend but learned there is so much more left. Keep watching for quicker times.

Damn wish I could have made it down to MD, but my cars down for a full build up, going to miss Nopi Nats. this year and next as well:( :( :cry: . Well John I want to see that video, Ill be checking your site daily:D. Gotta love that cherry colored 1g. Its what caused me to fall in love with DSMs, seen it in a mag for the first time, and got my first DSM 2 weeks later.
