Dan, it was a pleasure meeting you. I gotta say you guys are real troopers after the nightmare of a drive you had. You looked dog tired. I hope the problem with the trailer gets ironed out, I know it must have been demoralizing. Anyway, your car looks awesome and so do your products. I can't stop dreaming about the AP650 kit after holding it my hands.

here is a little story i put on my blog at www.vividracing.com/blog

So last week Matt from Agency Power and I made the extremely long trip to Houston in our Diseal Truck pulling the Porsche 996TT. The trip started out at 5am in which after 1 hour of driving we had to turn back as the enclosed trailer we were pulling started swaying bad. We came all the way back to the shop and dropped off half the product we brought and put the car on a featherlite aluminum trailer. Much better, however it was now 10am. We muscled through finally reaching El Paso, Texas. Apparently I did not do my homework as that 8 hours was only half the drive. We pushed through and with the windows down blairing Sirius HairNation channel, we finally reached San Antonio at 3am (5am TX time). I had the bright idea that we could keep doing in. Come on, Houston was only another 2.5 hours right. We were straight BEAT. We ended up stopping at a truck stop and took a nap for about 45 mins in between semi's. We jumped back on the road and pulled into Houston at about 7am where we finally reached our hotel at 8am. Matt and I had been up for 24 hours easily!

After checking in we took a short 2 hour rest then jumped back in the truck and hauled up to Texas Motor Speedway for the road racing. I had no intentions on running my car as it was just painted and all cleaned and I did not want to punish it... Well I caved. Vince, a fellow 6speeder, gave the lines in his stock 996TT with a flash. I asked alot of questions then bam, it was my turn. I think with my first lap he was concerned I could not drive. But like riding a bike, I was back in business. Being the first time I had actually hammered on the car, I took my time for the first couple laps. We finally cranked up the boost and then hit the 2 plus mile course. The huge banked oval reached speeds of almost 150mph. Small elevation changes and lots of blind turns. Truly an experience to run this course.

The next day was dyno day. This was mainly a Supra thing. We set up our booth showing off the latest and greatest of Agency Power parts and had some other goodies like Volk Racing wheels and DC Shoes on hand. After watching Supra after Supra knock down over 700hp we had seen enough. Later that night was a large parking lot meet like most of have nearby. However TX is different. Who cares what your car looks like or what it does on the dyno, it is all about how fast you can go out in the middle of nowhere against the other guy. The word I learned is, "What does your car do on kill?" Ummmm... I dont know, kill me?!!! These guys would go out and street race each other till 3am. GSXR 1000, 900hp Porsches, 1100hp Supras, and more. Texas certain is at another level of driving and building fast cars. Like they say, everything is bigger in Texas.

The following day was the drag race event which got moved ahead of the 60-130 competition which we wanted to do. We decided that the Supra crowd and did not need another day of our Porsche parts so we headed home a day early. The event was awesome and lots of impressive cars. Next time I am going to take a fast way there. I think I can make it in about 2 hours... its called Southwest Airlines!

Check out some of these pics and short video -

Hennessey Garage. 2 GT40 just hangin around.


I think this turbo could possibly power a city block.


Not sure if this guy does blow or this is "Kill" mode.


Your girlfriends IS300 seriously laid down 1000hp!


Our precious mini booth. Yes we brought carpet.


See we pulled it off the trailer!


Finally arrived in Houston. Then 2 hours later we arrived at the track.


Here is a short video. Matt took these with our Canon digi cam so real basic. You can see MartyK fly by a couple of times. You can hear my external wastegates too. I was ***** footin alot as this was the first time taking the car out with all the new mods. So excuse my (Diddy quote on) "*****assness" (Diddy quote off).

Hi.. I know what you mean about driving to TX! Eddie and I drove our cars from NY to TX raced the event and then drove home. What made the drive back was knowing that I ran the fastest run in a 996T(Woodtster 1mph shy)!!!!! The race seat is no friend of mine after that drive. Cars and products look great . Will you race the mile if so see you there.
