Experience Croctoberfest 2008

Well the fun is over for gator bite and myself as we pull our selves together after a awesome two days. We ate a wonderful breakfast at Ihop, took some more pics and hit the road. Hopefully he will post them later tomorrow. So we hit 85 north as I lead. I see a Dodge Charger SRT8 creepin up on our left in the hov lane. I keep a close eye on gator bite to see if he is going to play so I can get out of his way. No dice , as the SRT8 pulls up on my left and with open road ahead. I look over and he motions with hands like he wants to run . I nodded and he started to pick up speed so I pushed in the clutch and down shifted into 3rd to let the 2.7 loose . As the roar of the borla was like music to my ears. I prepared myself for a butt kickin. To my surprise I walked him right on out. As I reach 110 I looked in the rear view and the HEMi was about 5 cars back . I let off and he catches up fast and slows down gives me a smile, nod and thumbs up with a nice car . As we run up on traffic rather quickly. He took off again weaving in and out not to be seen again. Yeah I know the is like 5000 pounds but still I expected more out of the flagship of dodge SRT department. Thanks again to all that had there hands in putting this event together. Well there will be more to come on my experience of Croctoberfest 2008.

I too expected more out of that Charger. I don't condone street battles, but that one was hard to resist. The Charger driver was really posturing. He pulled up on me, matched my speed and started punching it briefly to lift his nose. I had no where to go so I gave him the, "yeah right, go buy an issue of Road & Track and then come see me again" look. He saw I had no where to go so he moved on to Chad, who was leading me. He did the same thing to Chad when suddenly I got to hear what a Borla equipped 2.7 sounds like at full scream. I heard a nice boxer scream and then saw something that surprised me, a Cayman beating the hell out of a 6.1 Liter 425 HP American Muscle Car. I mean how heavy is that thing. He was clearly trying, but Chad simply walked away from him.

I guess that's what happens when you bolt a 425 hp engine to a slush box transmission inside a 4,200 lb sled.

The pleasure was all on this side of the table. It was great hanging with you this weekend. There is a track event here at Carolina Motorsport Park for the Carolina Challenge 2008. I hope maybe to see you there. I am going to try to take some DE there.

Later

Chad

Mike and Chad,

Glad you guys made it home safe. You did miss a heck of a race on Saturday... hope you caught some of it on tv. Very nice to meet both of you, the time at the bar was especially fun.

Dude I didn't even speed... there were SOOOO many cops/laser traps on the way home through Georgia. It was fast thanks to the Caymans fuel efficiency; filled up in Marietta and made it home in Gainesville and the trip computer still shows 20 miles to go on the tank... 335 miles. Took about 5 hrs on the dot.

I have to agree it was a bloody blast hanging out with you.

I think my lost voice was due more to the nights at the bar than having to yell at you.

It was great seeing old and making new friends. Took us another 11 hours to get back home. I still believe the Chevy Corsair should have been counted for the Gimmick Rallye ...

Got the rest of the rubber off the tires chasing through the litt;e Dragon with Suneet

Thansk Ken for putting together a great weekend.

Can't wait for Rock 'n' Croc

Schwabe,

Does your signature mean you traded your wife for the RS60 Spyder?
