Figured I'd start a new thread. Any people planning to be at the JDM Spring Fling in Rising Sun, MD tomorrow?

I'd love to take the drive up there, but I don't know if I can get my car out of the driveway yet. I went to take my car to work today and was greeted by a bulldozer tearing up pavement at the end of my driveway. So I had to turn around and take the SUV.

If all goes well and they level off the road....I should be there tomorrow.

You going, desant? Any other maryland/va/nj people going?

I am going.  I may be a little late. I figure I should get there by 10AM.  I am definitely going though.  Let me know if you are going.  I should be relatively easy to find with the lizstick red I hope....

I should be there as long as I can get my car out of the driveway. I'll know tonight.

I'm also checking with my friend "wooosh" (brant) to see if he can bring his 06 extreme.

Saturday was a nice day at the strip (for watching, not participating)! Brant and I took the 70 mile drive up to see JDM and company hit the dragstrip. I was very impressed with their Lightning running low 10's. Jim III ran an 11.68 with the yellow speedlab saleen on his first run. I didn't get to see his other runs. I have some video, but I don't know how shaky it was since it was handheld.

Got to talk to Jim III about my car a little. Looks like I might be reordering my priorities a little bit for upgrades. I was going to go with the diablosport MaFiA, but I'll probably just do the 90mm MAF instead per his suggestion.

desant89 (mike) has a BEAUTIFUL car. I couldn't stop snapping pictures of the lizstick red paint. I'll post some pictures tomorrow when I got my USB drive home.

Nice to meet you Mike...I'm envious of that paint job!

Same here.  You guys were great.  Loved the Extreme, and really loved your car.  I have not seen a 2000-2004 Saleen before (not many Saleens around here!).  Both my friend, and I loved the way your car looks.  He actually wants one now!  Hopefully we can get together again.  Jim III told me that they are having somehting at ATCO speedway (here in NJ) in June or July.  Perhaps you guys can make it.  Hopefully more people too.  Again, nice meeting you guys, and show some pics......

Here are some of the pictures from the event. I grabbed as many as I could fit on my USB drive at the moment. I have the originals in 3648x2736 resolution (3MB photos), but I had to scale them down to upload.

We had 2 '06 Vista Blue Saleens (1 S/C, 1 Extreme), an 02 S/C Speedster Vert (me), a parnelli jones, Mike's lizstick red S/C, and JDM's yellow and dark red saleens. JDM also brought a lightning and a white mustang GT.

You can find the rest of the pictures HERE.

Desant you lucky sunuvagun.  I want that color sooooo bad!!  It's a lot like the color I painted my dearly departed '68 El Camino.  That Lizstick is the sweetest looking color by far.

Thanks!  Definitely gets a lot of attention.  I do love the color, but always am worried.  Saleen just sent me the touch-up paint.  There is a bottle of Silver, and a bottle of what looks like candy apple red.  I will touch up a few small chips on the front bumper, then get the clear bra installed.
