Whats up everyone.

Who else is seriously excited for the ShootOut? This will be my first time attending. Its going to be a blast!



Does anyone know if a video is going to be made for this year?
 
Yep, all excited here too.:D I usually start having crazy dreams around this time leading up to it every year. Like I usually have the same dream where I'm just trying to get there, getting all my stuff together for my trip and packing, but I can never get to my car and get going. :| It's crazy, but it's just what happens every year before the Shootout. I guess it's something about driving a DSM and just the fear of what may break on it next.LOL

There will be no video though as the guy that previously made it stopped doing that last year, as it was not profitable and more of an expense, or labor of love so to speak.
 
Toms turbo garage made a pretty decent video the past couple years, hopefully he attends this year. I hope my car makes it this year :). My center diff locked up on 80-90 in route to the shootout last year. I found out the hard way the car had an evo 1 transmission with the wrong front diff ratio.

You're gonna have a blast. My first time attending was a couple years ago (strangely enough). It was a little surreal for me, having been in the community so long and not having gone before.

I wish I could make it this year but work is getting in the way this time, like it has in the past.
 
Wish I could make it. But a nagging gf with a 6 month old are keeping me. D: Theres actually a few from my group that arent going this year. We usually have about 5/6 rooms full and drive just around 8 hours to get there. SlantedJ (guy who makes the videos) is actually one of the guys that probably wont be attending again. Between a feud with a couple guys and not getting a lot of profits from the dvds is probably the biggest reasons he stopped making them.
 
I think Surreal is the best way to explain how I hope to feel. My buddy and I went a few weeks back for the Wednesday Fun Night drags. This was my first time at a drag strip...ever. He drove me throught Norwalk and showed me where everything takes place. I basically had a turboner the whole time thinking about the DSM ShootOut weekend.

Its only an hour from my house, so im not worried at all. Hell, ive driven round trip 600 miles for AX events and been fine. :thumb:

I plan on taking as much GoPro footage as possible, in hopes of putting a nice video together at the end.
 
I've been going since 1997 and yes, it is surreal. I can't stop going simply because of that feeling it produces. I will continue to go for as long as the event continues, or until I am too old to make it.:p

Don't let that stop you, bring them! I went for my first time last year with my pregnant GF, and 2 kids - a 5 year old and 8 month old. We're going back this year with another kid - he's only 6 months old! This time I'm going to tow the talon though, it's a pita driving 2 vehicles down...
 
There are a few good videos of 2014 now on youtube. I'm sure there will be a few but they get put up like 8 or 9 months later. Has anyone else been just watching all of the eos videos and just getting pumped as hell? That and the new red demon prep video! These cars put on a show like no other! The smell, the sound, the looks! Just fantastic!! Can't wait!!!

I would if she wouldnt find any reason to have a bad time!! I definitely got the wrong woman pregnant, haha! She absolutely hads cars and doesnt understand what this hobby means to me. A year off wont hurt me plus funds are a little short so its not that big of a deal.

Sounds like like your set for 18yrs of hell!
 
Next year. For SURE. Now that mitsu is closing their plant up north of me i guess this is all i have left.
No way my bad back and i(not to mention my poor wife) will be driving 514 miles in the dsm. Hook it up to the expedition and trailer queen that 'ol girl out there.
Hope everyone has a great time and drive safe.

Almost spit out my drink reading this! LOL
 
Glad you guys are getting some kicks off me! ROFL ALthough Im not going this year, I am going to the track tomorrow! :D Hoping to see 10s or 130s, but realistically im betting on 11.2 @ 127.

Just to update this from last weekend.. My spyder went 11.0 @ 126 on street tires! ;)

Im seeing a ton of stuff on facebook and its making me sad!
