🤣

nah, not at all. It’s not the first time it’s happened. :kekegay:

I can see why the bailed. DSM shootout is a pretty big deal. I don’t know how it went out there, but if they didn’t have a blast then the joke is on them.

> yeah its a shame the monroville crew is full of faggot cars. cool dudes but taste in cars is lacking… DSM shootout…wow what a fun time hanging out with a bunch of fags. actaully the bench racing up there is astounding… everyone talks shit and never runs their cars or does so from a roll. i dont call anyone out to race cause i know my car is slow but they need to stop being bitches…race from a dig and attend events with less faggotry. Subarus were out when BJ sold his!!! i personally never said i was gonna come today but i think it was really lame as fuck for them to bail and go watch DSM’s. but whatever… gbodys for life

dude, what are you even talking about? me, steelcityevo8, and gombos were like the only ones at the shootout and none of us are from monroeville. i know all of the monroeville crew you’re talking about and not one of them was at buschur’s

ps. i guess im one of those fags you’re referring to for attending the dsm/evo shootout, but considering i drive an evo im pretty sure i had a reason to be there. if there was some oldsmobile car show or shootout, i can guarantee you’d be up there in full effect with your gbody for life nonsense

was a great time, still fighting some bugs got 2 clean runs, both launching out of boost, because my first launch in boost was nothing but a giant burn out that azn filmed. best time was a 7.8, best mph was 95

that car of yours is very sick. Nice and stealth appearance and has the potential to be very violent later. Toss those 327s in there and the car will pick up alot more. If you need a hand with the program i might be able to help you out.

yea i definitely have some bugs to work out. i checked my datalogs today, the most boost i had was 3.4 and the afr was 9.7. i think with a good tune and some more boost it will run good.

I want to see some more pictures and video! Seems like I missed some good times. How was the track? Anyone break 100 in the 1/8?

As for the DSM/EVO shootout, its more of a Evo shootout since all us dsms cant make the trip to ohio or we’re in the scrap yard. It is kinda a big deal so no harm in going there if that is you die hard money pit of choice. IMO
