All my pics (plus a few from Friday night) are here: http://pics.dpsubs.org/Portland/
After removing all the shitty ones, cropping some etc., there're 99 pics.
Highlights:
Shades of Grey
The Seattle crew
There were a LOT of 7's there
But I think we might have had them outnumbered
Drool... cleanest FD there, besides the race car
I don't know if everyone looked at the drag prepared Integra that was on a lift, but... it has a Smoke Stack coming out its hood:
Patrick's car was absurdly close to scrapping when they got it on the Dyno, even with boards. This angle is the best shot I took but definitely doesn't show how close it is to the bolts underneath. I took a video of him getting off the dyno, I can post that to vimeo or something if people want it.
Yah, better shot of how close it was...
Before the clusterf*ck before the drive
There as a great view from Vista House
Best road signs ever?
Alright, I'm done, I'm getting up at 6am tomorrow to head to Bremerton. It was great seeing everyone again/meeting new people. Hopefully I/we can get down to Portland again this summer.

bad. 142 for most runs and one with 155. i'll scan the runs and post it.
the shop guys suggested this as a possible culprit:

Would've been nice too had seen the numbers from a couple more 8's. My reman had the second highest HP and the highest Torque of all the 8's run yesterday, moded or not.

Well i got the 7k power loss figured out.....it was the mid pipe's gasket that I put on. It got so hot that it caught on fire, turned to dust then melted the metal inside the 2 layers and clogged the pipe a little. I cleaned it all out and put the cat back on. I also seafoamed the engine and did an oil change. It went to 8k no problem afterwards. I'll run it tonight and see if it took care of it finally.
It was a fun trip down there and hope we can do another before the end of June. I leave for MI July 3rd!
