Weather does look nice.  Don't forget pics and video for us not attending.  I'll snap a pic as we sit on beach next few days.  Sounds fair trade.

So I hear Enemy has this busa built and ready?? LOL  So he should be videoing like this;

Tom Pro built boosted busa, aprox 600 hp, need washable seat covers.

so first off never had a bad trip! only got 1/5 days of good weather out of 3 but great group of folks always makes it worth it! the riding we did do was fantastic! fast thanks for coming for a day and i know you liked all the good food lol lol it is a shame you passenger couldn't keep his down  :o.  everything ran great except my cold start issue but we'll get that figured out. the turbo busa seem to run damn good and all of dougies toy ran good also. wens was the best day of riding ( virgin sand and 75*) weather wise but thurs morning while fast was there was a damn close second. by fri night the utv invasion force had swept over LS so time to leave that and i tored a cv boot.  fabr shame you couldn't make it. shame i couldn't make it when the big group went.

Holy shit that Tom Pro rips!
No Jeffco back there lol I think I'm going to stop at 15psi on this setup to keep it together (hopefully!)
Damn good trip and awesome to drive the car again, some setup quirks to iron out but fueling nicely up to and on the gate @ 6-7psi, now to work on the "turn key" stuff. I notice no loss of low end with the 9.5.1  compression and take off is just as good as it used to be with the counterbalance removed, I think it is going to run pretty good cranked up a little more.
Brian's is going to be a rocket tank wheelie machine when it is cranked up, 14 psi so far and grunts nicely on the low end..He ALMOST needed a new wing!! I envision a bat-shit crazy car @ 30psi.. holy shit..
 Lots of turn-key stuff to iron out on it as well, cold start corn fuel can be a real pain in the ass!
Great time as always and awesome to chase after Fast as usual! I do have to give him the "pout award" when a Brute jumped in front of his lasso attempts to tow brians car. Brain threatened me if I didn't hook up before him... Sorry Fast,    ..something about NEVER signing your tow rope?..?..

Missed all ya all that couldn't make this one! Hope for one for the record books this spring!

 LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

we didn't ....doug " borrowed " it to go pull jack out. i guess he didn't hear me as i said i'll grab mine.    i would gladly ask you to pull me off the sand if i was broke down and would sign the rope.......i draw the line at signing the rope because my motor flooded and i had to be pull started!!  ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) LMAO LMAO   had to pull start it every morning in fact and the brute did just fine.  will have to figure that one out. once it started it was fine the rest of the day as long as you didn't let it get cold. i burned 18 gals in 3 days down there.

when you watch the video...-pay attention to the gear position display on enemy's dash. he shifts 6th gear and said he was at 6 psi boost and 25% throttle roughly. we were going faster than i thought.

The video looks great.  Glad the new engine changes worked out good.  Wish I could have been there, the day looked awesome.  And the busa sounds bad too.  Yes, we need a big spring trip.  But let's plan and book early.  It's been filling up fast.

well those dates budlight listed   "I'd say last week of April.  22nd thru 28th."   will work for me so if those are the for sure dates post it up so i can get the reservations made now! lol   i will not be able to make a trip to idaho in 2018 as i need to re gear the rail as well as too many family events. but the current gearing is sufficient for LS and i would pre fer to get the rail right where i want it at LS rather than another trip to idaho to ride in others rails lol only thing that made that trip worth it was the people otherwise toy wise it was a bust.
