Mike K and I were near Ryan's car when the "flaming" event happened. Ryan open the Hood and found a 2" column of smoke coming up from the "affected area". Mike K leaned over to check the source of the problem. By then I had grab a FireX and was standing ready to dispence. Mike K said; Mmmm not sure but I think you should squize a little shot which I did. Mike K's pretty Mug (face) was about 1 foot and a half away from the nozzle. Guess he inhaled a bit as he pulled away and let out two short cough!!!
I'm glad to report that both Mike K and Ryan's Car did not sustained further injuries. Both are doing fine and will recover.

That was a fun time, even though Ryans car caught fire, and my lungs inhaled fire extinguisher residue... Nothing some beer and sun couldn't fix.
I made the trek by myself to the shootout, and beat the bajeezus out of my car on the autocross(was my first time ever trying to make the car turn). Managed a 37.xx sec run, may have ran faster but forgot to check my last time. Then realized after that my internal wastegate wasn't wired all the way shut.
I am running a stock clutch and cant launch with it, so I didn't bother with drag racing and just watched the boys do their thing for the rest of the weekend.
See ya'll next year.
Stock.

This year actually went really well for me this time around.
Brother had the fastest "Magnus" car first pass was his fastest as we were dealing with clutch problems. Ran 11.08@ 133MPH bogging on the lanuch and missing 2nd with just shitty Murica 93 pump. I honestly think with more boost, better fuel and a clean pass the car has a high 9 second pass in it!!
I also have the video of the ETS GTR doing the 7.80 pass on my cell phone
It was nice to meet some members here and finally put a face to their names. Also got to talk to Turbo Tom about his Gaylant which was cool and Robert @FP was really cool as well.
All in all experience was 10/10. Would do again
Also this Pic was on the Gaylant forum.

I had the same issue, as soon as I tanked up in NY I had knock anytime I got into boost. I checked things out and nothing was off. I talked with Yusuf Begic(own of the LHD Evo 2), he suggested to drop in a gallon or 2 of E85 with a full tank. I did that and back to zero knock. After I burned that tank up on the way home and refilled at Angola, knock came back.
I brought back 5 gallons of E85 to play with, hell it was only $15 lol.
'Merican 93 Oct is definitely puke. Not sure but it probably equals to 91/92 Swill we get here.
Couple of Gallons of E85 sounds like a good idea; maybe adding some Meth to the 93 PukeWater could yield some similar results.
All in all a trip to the SO is well worth it for those that never picked up their "Skirts" for the "Stroll".
Lets make next year the killer Canadian Contingent. You Ladies that are trolling this post should definitely consider the Treck; you have one full year to put on your Big Boys Pants and come along for the ride. None of us that attended wear Dippers. You would soon realised that it feels much better that pooping in your Pants.
Oh and eating grown up food will make your colon much happier!!!

There were so many brake downs.. most people had easy runs. But David Buchser was pissed and made a post letting everyone know... That next year, if you dont atleast try and impress the paying spectators during the free run. You will be disqualified. This turned into a huge debate on Shootout facebook which lead to him saying Its his show... And if you dont like it... Dont come.
Got my first Dsport Magazine in the mail last week. Ordered from the Shootout! And in it, was their coverage of the the Shootout! no.. Non of us were in it... But they did list all the competiters for the important classes... Including stock appearing turbo! Which means GHIZ .. If you did enter stock appearing turbo, you would at least made it into Dsport magazine!
