This year is Lot 1B by the comcast center. It's a much bigger lot cause last year we ran out of space around 340 cars

I said the same thing about two months ago, when it was originally scheduled in April. I tried to talk them into making the meet on May 10 but they wouldn't budge. One weekend later and I would have been able to go, but not now :(

Can I still get in on the dyno runs?

Just letting everyone know.... I've got a few DTMers interested in this and thought I'd invite some BF guys as well. I am in Owings Mills, MD in Baltimore County. If anyone is driving down to this meet and live in Bmore County, pass through it, or live in surrounding counties you are all welcome. We will most likely meet somewhere off of 695 and all travel down to CP together.

Thanks

There were lots of cars. I heard there was a Bentley and a Skyline there. I didn't see them as I spent a lot of time across the street at the Dyno. There was a really sic Toyota there with gullwing doors. A bunch of Ford Lightings. A good size group of BMWs, many I believe from EastCoast BMWs.

There were a lot of pictures taken. I took some with my 35MM. My wife had the digital camera - she had an event to attend this weekend. I'll try to scan some in when I get them developed, I make no promises as to quality.

I ran 177.3 HP and 182.8 tq on the dyno with my 2000 323i. :D
I have Shark and ECIS. Wish I had my UUC TSE2 on. :biglaughb

Yeah, where is that thing. :dunno

It was alright... yeah there was a bentley and a Skyline.
I think the best car was the Blue Supra, but that Toyota w/ the gullwing doors was pretty hot. The show wasnt that great, only a few nice cars.

I haven't been to many meets. Maybe
there weren't many outstanding cars
but there were some nice ones and I
met some nice people.

UNR, what was the blue Supra, was that
the audio car?

There must have been serveral meets
on Saturday. I met some nice cars going
the opposite way I was. There was
some kind of gathering on Kent Island I
saw a lot full of cars but didn't take time
to check it out. I heard there was some stuff in OC also.

Was the R33 Skyline a grayish color? If so, that guy is a member of Supraforums. He sold his Supra for it.

the skyline belonged to a guy named Charles who used to have a REALLY nice stellar blue MR2.

the Skyline that was at the show was not Chuck's, he was up in New York. Marc is the name of the guy that had the Skyline at UMd this past weekend, he also has a turbo'd Type R.
