Okay, I'm officially done uploading the images. Enjoy.
As it took me a long time to do this! ![hammer](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/bonk.gif)
Damn Carlos, those parking structure pictures I took of your car turned out really nice.

Hello everyone,
Was nice to see and meet everyone . Thanks again Lisa for bringing the mini habachi's
The shootout was close Lisa held the title for 1 car then the C55 came and knocked her off. Vincent brought his 996 that eventually knocked the C55 off, then somehow a big black shiny CL 65 shows up and lays claim. Sean looked strong with his 16v and actually surprised us with his butt dyno calculations. All and all I think perhaps the best car on the Dyno had to of been the Hooptee. Made alot of noise
Picked up a few ponies from a plug swap, but didn't really start making power till we removed the girl hairclip that was worth I think 6 hp and a pink Ipod that was worth an additional 10 hp. Best of all that was free horsepower to Josh. Thanks again for coming out.

You missed out on what I got!

Actually, you all helped in making this such a kill day

Brilliance Carlos, bringing those Italian Sausages (pics to come) and adding to Chris' pic inventory which is quite impressive (he even brought his own teen model). And, was it Norm who thought to bring the plates? It all just came together. And Orlando's beauty of a car and Sean's super clean ride added to the atmosphere - it all worked. Classic day. Great precedent for future get togethers - Dyno Days at HOP with Josh. Oh, and Bernard, it wasn't til I got home that I figured out that WE NEED TO RACE! Settle this thing once and for all

hahaha Lisa, I took those pictures to make up for hot import nights. ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
On the other hand though, did you get a chance to fix your right brake light bulb yet?

Maybe one day we'll race, but maybe by then I'll have had a few engine modifications done...I've set myself a goal to beat the 300 whp barrier. 298 is oh so close
![wall](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/banghead.gif)
When I have some time to myself, I'll get you the vids of your SLK55, my C55, and the Porsche on the Dyno. Just be patient, I won't forget!!
All the pics look great, too bad I had to take off "early", but duty called. One of the Josh's at HOP said they'll eventually post vid clips of the dyno runs on their website so I'm look forward to that.
We'll definintely have to do this again.

Hey I enjoyed the meet, even though I was late, atleast I got an unexpected buyer for my exhaust and it saved me some posting time and shipping costs. I hope it works for Peter's 320 coupe. I wanna see the vid of my dyno!
