WOW, I woulda thunk an 8 gets a little better than that. I get around 20-22 around town, and got 26.2 down, 24.8 back, 25.5 total. 620 miles, 24.3 gallons (including what spilled down the side of the car).

Hey Guys, good news...We got RXTuner signed on as a sponsor and they decided to give away one 1 year subscription...So some lucky SOB will get that! nice. Hopeflully it's me since my subscription is about to run out...Actually, just for the record. We are keeping the organizers out of the shows and drawings.

I hope I don't win it. I just subscribed! Is there anyone who is specified to be taking pictures? Or writing a article to RXTuner? It would be awesome if they put us in there like they have done with some other BBQ/Meets.

Yes, i'm supposed to take photos and submit an article. Would be good to have a few people write a bit just get to get the perspective from all sides...organizaters and BBQers.

I'm gonna try to "borrow" my dad's ditigtal camera. That thing has amazing pics. Should be able to take some good pics. I will be sure to post them up and e-mail whoever wants them unedited.

Do you work at Office Depot? I hear everyone is quitting there too. Aparently is a really sucky place to work. Especially the one at 71st and Lewis.

Sorry you guys can't make it. We are definately having it again next year!

That was fun! Holy **** it was great. My car wasn't able to make it but I rode up with Dylan (sleeper69) and that was a fun trip. Believe it or not that was the first time I had ridden in a boosted car and now I MUST HAVE ONE. Dylan is supposed to send me the pics I took with his camera during the cruise so hopefully I can get them up soon.

Thanks a lot to all the sponsors and David!!!!

We had several people drop me e-mails saying they couldn't make it last minute...Either way, was an excellent turnout and good weather...Was an FC dominated event...

Here are some photos I took. Now I am off to do a little write up for RX-Tuner magazine...


I have a little request...Could all of you who were present give me a short testimonial on the BBQ? I want to incorporate it into the website im throwing together for this event. We are going to have it yearly and want it to be the biggest casual rotary gatering in the states. We pulled quite a few people from AR, LA, CO, TX, IA, and MO...Will be interesting to see who we can pull for next year...

Sooooooo, if you can...write me at david@apneablue.com and give me a few scentences on what you thought overall that would be great...Negative comments are ok too as we strive to improve.

Thanks for the thanks but I couldn't do this without the homies...Most of the guys were from NoPistons.

Lothema, 94Tourin, ProjectD, Ambassador_Josh, Dramon_Killer, thanks guys for all your help and support on this one.

One more thing. All the cool prizes would not have been possible without
- Gotham Racing
- RX Tuner Magazine
- Tulsa Dyno & Performance.

Ok ok, here are the photos finally http://rx7.apneablue.com/photos/bbq_2005/
