This is the only pic I got of Tommy on Sunday.



These are a few other shots I liked....









The gold first gen running against El Duke got loose off the launch. I like this shot because you can see the fronts locked when he brought em back down.


The big dude in the middle looks like he's gettin blown back from the exhaust.lol


Loved this R100


Bad picture.......Awsome shot of the charred fender and door


Got more pics of 'yotas and whatnot.


Anyone get video of that Starlet nearly taking out the MIB car?

I was just going to say that your 1st gear is long, bet that helps with 60fts too. So does the ppg set use its own input shaft ?

I like the kelvar look.. I think it would be awesome if the whole car was like that. almost like army green... looks gangsta lol

I think its a very beautiful thing to see a rx7 drive to the track, run a 9, and just drive home 2 day in a row. You have the best car in the world IMO.

Tommy left a "father & son" team in shock after his first 9 second run
They both had their jaws on the floor.. One immidately asked me "Is your 20b still forsale?"

I'm not calling any names, but you guys know who I'm refering to

Yes "father", the 20b is still forsale

Well said

Apart from seeing it up close and personal, you get to have a one on one chat with the driver/owner.. Allen & myself had a very long chat with the owner of the baby blue mini tub 1st gen and that guy was very open and cool as hell... His car is a work of art, with serious attention to detail and it's making decent power too.

Most of the PR cars had their engine's on display for all to see.. The only one with a cover was team Sporty Motorsports, but I was able to sneak a peek. Skern Diaz & Eddiecito were willing to talk about their cars and answer any question that was thrown at them. I know Allen enjoyed his little chat with Skern because he (Skern) actually remember "the guy from Texas with the Rx3"

Despite the lack of sleep and being tired like a dog, Pan American 2009 was simply the best and it was well worth all the hassle & stress.

Pics will be loaded soon
