I love your car man. Dirty or clean... The crew knows im Twins all the way. Stay in touch w/ me bro, we have some things coming up. Thanks for coming out.
just wanted to say that it was a great meet. got to see alot of cars and meet many new supra owners. first time goin to a meet and really enjoyed it. thanks for everyone that had a part in setting it up. especially jordan and priority toyota. if anyone is ever down my way just let me know. i was the guy with the burgandy targa n/a. plus after seeing all the turbos yall make me want to swap again.
Don (D7M) and I had a blast! Got sunburned, but got to see a lot of cars that I want mine to aspire to.
Now, the bad news. ALL of my pics came out overexposed. Somehow, the camera settings got messed with prior to my checking them before the meet, so they are going to require A LOT of photoshop (of which I don't have right now) to be viewable. Suffice to say, it looks like the meet was held on the surface of the sun, which really ain't that far from the truth. But, I may just send the raw JPGs to Jordan directly and see if he can clean them up as best he can. I'm sure washing the images (all digital, BTW) through a few filters will make them pop out more.
And I have a wicked amount of smoke coming out of my exhaust now. Don seems to think the turbo may be the culprit, which will be a lot cheaper replacing with a 57 trim than it would be the engine teardown/rebuild at this moment. I will check on a few other options as well, like what seals I can get to without removing the engine and stuff.
All in all it was a great trip, and I wouldn't hesitate doing it again. Thanks a lot guys!!!!
EDIT: and sorry about bugging out a little early. We had a Richmonder that had some motor trouble and wanted to make sure he made it home okay. We also took 460W back home which apparently circumvented a few problems that I-64 was having coming out of Va Beach at that time as well.

Thanks to EVERY ONE who came out and attended the show ! It was a Great Time ! I just today feel like Ive finally had a chance to cool down from all the excitement ( and work involved , cuz i trailered my car ) . I cant wait to get next years event rolling ! Jordan and I have alot of things to streamline and make easier and better. Hope all of you can come out next time.
Man there were some very nice cars out there, I couldnt agree with BlazeVic more.
If any of you wanted your Judging/score sheet and didnt get one before you left, PM me or Email at Rainmanracing@cox.net and my wife and I will get those out to you.

Dirty or not, it's a Supra! And a nice one at that. XD
Mine wasn't too clean, but I am glad I got her running right and put down some decent power.
No big man, I figured it might've happened. I'll PM you the address. Just glad I was able to help!

Keep in mind, the turbo has some nasty shaft-play, my IC system is crap, and my TPS is messed up. All Aspects (not their fault) stalled it several times trying to get it on the Dyno and even stalled it once coming down from a run. This motor is getting pulled and sold here shortly if someone wants it!
A friend of mind's needs a motor ......PM yr number so i can give it to him then go from there....
