I didn't take many (hardly any) pictures because I only had my phone with me and was too busy socializing, but I did get a fun video or two. Some things I particularly enjoyed included:
Driving the famous 6-speed Jalopnik-featured, Bi-XENON EQUIPPED (so you know it's serious)
, SAWSAGE 200 20v and attempting but failing to get a turbo Porsche 911 to race (on closed course of course).Riding in Casey's "active clearance-equipped" 200 20v while the 25 psi tune was being checked four deep with Marc, Hank and Casey while Nick tagged along in his 200 attempting to keep up
Of course, he had no chance at that since we were making enough power to "spin the REAR tires" through third gear. They were rubbing, not spinning.What restraint Nick showed not ripping past us the whole time (except once) while Casey pussy-footed it through town in an attempt to avoid jail-time. Observing as everyone tried to get Ed D's new fuel system up and running in time for a 600 whp tune only to have that plan fail due to a poorly welded fuel fitting
Watching Chapelle at 3:30 am inside the EFIexpress trailer
Sleeping on the shiny, but extremely unforgiving diamond plate floor in said trailer getting waterboarded by a small leak in its roof next to three other dudes, all with the thought of Hank's latex gloves in the back of my mind. Luckily I had my girlfriend there as a buffer.
Hank "pussing" Ed's car out of the way at 7:00 am after it was threatened to be towed because it was apparently blocking the road. Let me explain. We were all running on about three hours of shitty sleep when we were told that we'd have to move Ed's car. So four of us were pushing the car, but Hank was pushing (more like pretending to push) it rather pathetically with one hand in his exhausted state. Marc commented that Hank was doing a great job "pussing" the car (he meant to say pushing of course) after which I commented that I'd never heard a more accurate description of what someone was doing.
That ladder ball game
The delicious food!
Seeing the 4k that got "sexed" by an urq, 07k 4kq, tons of other cool cars including the s2 avant, 4r6t 4k, loads of gorgeous urQ's, and the list goes on and on. On the non-Audi side of things, there was an older TVR with a 600 hp 2jz swapped in, a 70's (I think?) sl Merc with moderm AMG (v8 I think) swapped in, tons of older M5's and M6's, and more.
In the end, it is the people who make this event so awesome. It truly was a pleasure talking with each and every one of you and I look forward to doing it again next year! Thanks to everyone who helped put it on and everyone who attended. It wouldn't be Carlisle without all of you!
I'm sure others will post pics of the Audi stuff, but here are a few that I took.
I wouldn't be upset owning one of these
2jz...
which was inside this nicely tubbed TVR
this Merc
had THIS inside
I'll post a vid or two later on.
It was fun seeing the time crunched fuel system swap and omgawesome riding along with Nick during the aforementioned tuning/cruising session, that is one helluva 200! I'll detail my Carlisle experience in more detail in my project thread but here are some pictures for you guys, mostly courtesy of Lidia who I have to thank for being a total trooper all weekend!
