Well? Who's going?

I don't care if I have to kill a family of goats, I'm going. Camping likely. We need to get a bunch of us out there this year, the last couple I haven't made it.

Barring anything major, I plan to make it every year

Too early to tell for us. I'm part of that "I'd like to go, probably will" group, but can't say for sure with this recession we're going through.

Time will tell.

I'm part of the "I'd like to go probably wont" group

any info?

It's in Ohio.

Id like to come but that is a trip. Not a long trip, but nevertheless qualifies as a trip haha.

What's wrong with a trip?! I've gone to Ohio once, loved it! I would definately recommend going Mike.

After DB cring like a little kid after each shootout I have decided to boycott both "his shootout" and his shop in general.
When I see quotes such as this coming out
" “I don't even feel like I am talking to people I know when it comes to DSM's. I guess I remember nice cars, worth more than $10 and making a living selling parts that worked for them. Sounds to me like most of your projects should be scrapped, scrap metal is bringing good money right now, sounds like more than most of the car are even worth.”


The good news is there is an alternative coming out, there should be some info on DSMTuners/Talk, unfortunately as power play it's the same weekend, but some (Magnus, Rau, Sherer Fab) etc are planning to be in attendance at this point.
So far the only shep is in for Norwalk (it's close, and even that is potentially up in the air pending completion of the car)

Magnus Shootout FTW

I'd certainly prefer to support Marco, given the choice. Where is this Magnus shootout being held?

If I plan to go to a shootout, it will be the Magnus. Never been to or will ever support red neck DB.

You can see details on Nabr.

X2

Some of us aren't on Nabr. Details please.
I don't consider it SUPPORTING anyone....I just want to see some fast DSM's...

Bahh, the real fun doesn't even envolve Buschur, Magnus, DVDTFAB, Shearer....

East Coast Shootout

Englishtown, New Jersey

By the way, when does that BS passport law come into effect ? may be a unexpected problem for some(me). But I believe not until june/july?

IIRC you need a passport starting sometime in June to cross the border.

I believe this linky might answer your question?

yeah I keep hearing differant stuff. Its rather confusing. I know my Dad went through the border like last week and they told him pretty soon he better have a passport or hes SOL :s

AS far as i know, as long as you have the newest form of drivers lisence, you'll be fine.

He actually has that. It was a weird situation. Border guard had something out of the ordinary up her arse? she didnt even sound american he said lol:P

Funny thing is you don't even need a passport to travel to the carribean.

Yea but try getting back into Canada without a passport !

What the heck does that mean James?

Not sure I'm welcome after that bottle in the fire incident LOL.
I will be catching a ride with Kuttschutter, wherever he goes.

I plan on attending the Jersey shootout this year.

I loved the Ohio shootout, as I've been to 3 I believe, but it's time for a change.

I'm going to Jersey as well. There are a few shops running the Jersey event, not only Magnus. For those who don't know, Magnus and Buschur have settled their differences, albeit just co-existing. Buschur recently tested Marco's new V5 cast intake for the EVO, and said it was the best manifold he has ever tested.

Anyway, on to the Jersey event. Brent M.F. Rau will be there, as well as the 4G63 powered rail car dragster built by a NABR member. It's only had a few runs and already broke into the 7s. There are also loads of 8 second cars that will be attending.

I will be going to Ohio still...has nothing to do with the Magnus/Buschur business....but have personal reasons for making an annual trip to Ohio..so I might as well do it on the shootout weekend

Shep will be in Ohio more than likely, considering the track's pretty much down the road.

Reservations are made. Going to the Ohio shootout and staying at the Plantation again

My plan is to head down Jersey and might even have the chance to take the drive with the Ol'Scotty.

Again; it is only in the planing phase but will sore miss the good old SO plantation and all.

Ghislain.

Hmmm, Makes me think. Would be nice to attend the SO this year.

See what I can work out.

He will be in Ohio, but I don't think his race car will be. He will probably race his 9 second daily driver EVO.

As of now, how many people are going for sure? and where is this plantation that everyone stays at?

when is it exacly ?

August 16th. I will be at the Ohio shootout.

I'll be in Ohio. As well as Rob, admin of Mitsu-media.com, we're riding together.
