I was reading this thread, and it had some parallels to a awesome event I just attended. I had the privilege of being selected as one of only 5 people from around the country to join Motor Trend Magazine for their testing of the annual Best Drivers Car competition. We were given all access behind the scenes of testing some of the greatest driving cars sold (and some not yet sold, but soon!) in America. This event was sponsored by Mobil 1 oil, and they treated us 1st class.

I was flown out to Monterey, CA and put up in a fantastic hotel on the beach. We were wined and dined, and then allowed poke, prod, photograph, take hot laps around Mazda Laguna Seca raceway with pro driver Randy Pobst and drive our choice of amazing cars.

All they asked in return - appear on camera and in photos for Motor Trend and Mobil 1. - Not a bad trade!

What do you have done to put 430 to the ground? my wife drives an 08 SRT8 charger and all I have done is diablo tuner which made that thing a beast, exhaust, and I'm getting ready to get a CAI.

If there is one thing I have learned, it is that Corvette people will do some of the most strange body modifications to their cars compared to any other car make... But that is by far the weirdest I've seen yet!

What's funny is I see little differance between the Donk Esclade and a Lifted Diesel. Both are lifted Both have Tires and wheels that are ridiculous and so on. The similarities are pretty funny when you think about it.

G your getting to old next thing you'll be saying is those damn kids are running around the lake with more than one sub in their boat. And at night they have all these lights flashing all over the place. I can't even read the paper in peace any more.


On the other hand I have to say thanks to you. I looked over your cut and polish V2 and did some work on my supra and it turned out great.

Just looking at some old pics of mine and found this one. It's an NXT. So far as cool looking rides go, this one is right up there.

...and here's a vid. I've watched this vid probably 100 times and that sound still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up. He's "crashed" that plane three times now and it still flies. He is one hell of a stick, not mention one hell of a nice guy.

Turn the volume way up.

You seem to be a pretty well rounded fella there, Grant.

They sure did. The guys name is John Sharp. He dominated the Formula 1 division in his original Nemesis, for a long time. When they introduced the Sport division, he set out to dominate it as well and the Nemesis NXT was born. Didn't really pan out though. It's tough when you're just a little guy going up against factory supported rides. Great racing family though.

If you ever come up for the races, hit me up. It's certainly a bucket list event for any gear head. I've been going since the late 70s. I'm starting to know my way around a little bit.

Last years championship run.

Wow Fence that video is pretty impressive. You know you're flying a fast prop plane when the pace plane is a jet!!! Thoes planes are MONSTERS. And the guys that fly them are nothing short of awesome. In that video birth of an air racer that Darryl Greenamyer is a stud and a living legand 700 HP Lanceair. Damm that's got to be one hell of a ride.
My friend picked up this plane last year. It's a Yac 54 called Russian Thunder and it's a very famous Aerobatic plane. But I would love to take you up on your offer the Reno air races is definitely a bucket list item for me!

I would seriously be less embarrassed driving the Donk then that! Wait I take that back! And what's even more funny is both owners think they are driving one bad A$$ whip. I'm sure they think all the people looking at them are admiring them when in truth we are all laughing at them. I would love to se the monster truck do a demolition derby with the Donk and the winner gets to be put in the shredder. LOL yee haw!
