Here are some pics from the TGP meet yesterday... just Krenzy and I lol. I thought the meet was pretty awesome and was really fun. Here are some pics of the cars.. Was a bit of a hike- I had to drive 150 miles to the meet but it was definitely worth it! :icon_cool:

Oh yeah- drifting TGP lol

Owes noes! I'm getting run over! :lol:

That was a pretty kickass meet! Kyle post up your pics too!

Sorry it took me so long to get here...you know me - I love to make an entrance.

The Saleen is my buddy Matt's. Well, it started off as an 03, currently undergoing a complete transformation to become an accurate Saleen clone. All he needs is the supercharger and dash pod...everything else is finished.

Yeah Nick's TGP outshined mine, though we both had extremely clean cars. It was an awesome meet. I decided to convince Nick to come to New Ulm, since it's my hometown and offers a ton of photogenic sites. These were taken downhill from the public utilities building, and across from the railroad tracks; also across from a spot where many people like to come screw at night since it's not patrolled lol.

Between the two of us, Nick and I took close to 200, or more, pictures. The sun shined just right, it was a clear day for once, and it was a larger lot which allowed plenty of room to move about.

Without further ado, my contribution to the photo gallery...note some have not been edited for lighting yet.

I have so many more pictures, and like I said, only two have been edited for better lighting so far.

As dirty as you say Nick's was lol, mine actually was very dirty. I hadn't waxed it for about two weeks and it shows. Definately the best thing that has happened to New Ulm in years!

Man I am so jealous of you and Grinders for having the best looking TGP that I've ever seen.

Great Pics, BTW did either one of you race the stang?

I wet sanded the tips to get them shiny. Yeah that is original paint with a mix of Mothers, Meguires, and 3M products on the car lol.

Right now Matt has a stock 2003 GT 4.6 V8 Drivetrain. I raced him once in the past, he lost by about 3 lengths. He refuses to line up against me until he gets his supercharger lol. Neither of us raced him that day. BUT, for an auto in that thing, it's geared damn quick.

Stock autos average about mid 14's with 95-96mph trap speeds from what I've seen.
