Waking up this AM, I am feeling good about the trip that lies ahead. True, to the word, I am packed to capacity with the civic, and I am hitting the road. See you soon NC and TN, Nashville people holler at me. Lunch in Johnson City, TN with Chris Tybor of Whoopee Doo Racing!
PS: In grand fashion I am late. But I set no time to leave or arrive to checkpoint 1 today, so it makes up for it!
NationRIDE: ATL for Import Alliance
Posted on April 20th, 2011 by Stunna BEN - 1 CommentCategories: NationRIDE
Atlanta is a a youthful city, filled with such a rich and thick culture. You can almost taste it in the air, you definitely can see it in your surroundings, and with one quick glance in any direction you can get a feel for its history. But not just for the fact that it is one of my favorite places to go, Atlanta was the destination for the 1st stop on GreasyBlocks NationRIDE. The annual Import Alliance Spring Meet was held at the Georgia Dome/CNN Center Parking deck. Read on to enjoy the day trip with us!

For years, movies have centered around the great “Road Trip” across the states, weather it be Clark Griswold taking his family to Wally World or Thelma and Louise going all the way, every one of us have watched some type of motion picture showing off a multi-state journey. But as of late, the only travel trips many of us take are to automotive events, packed out concert venues, and flying to exotic destinations.
Well I have had a plan for a road trip for some time, that has became more of an obsession really. I have wanted to see the states, but did not feel like renting a car to do such a drive in. Instead, I wanted to do the drive in a highly modded car just to see the way it felt. I would almost compare this to watching people do these trips and classic cars, and the all too far common convertible. My goal was to see the states taking as many pics as I can while enjoying the food and culture of the area I was in. Never could get off work for it, and I never really had a reason to do it. In 2008, I tried this and flopped, and in 2009 I began rebuilding the car. What a fucking nightmare that was. I do not know what was worse, some companies I had to work with, wasting time with painters and missed deadlines for shipping, or the cracked piston issue in 2010.
Now, spring 2011, I plan to take this trip and take the path from South Carolina to California uncovering as many food joints and sights as possible, and to test the stability of the products we purchase and market on a regular basis. 2500 miles of abuse will go to the fully built K24 in my 2000 Si, and through posting we will see how well the setup responds to being used in a 100% true daily driven form. Join in for the updates and the ride details. The blogs posted will be very random, half of the time might not make sense to you, the grammar will not be correct, and the stories will be funny!

One bad ‘vert…
Posted on March 3rd, 2011 by Roadcone - 4 CommentsCategories: StreetTalk
When you think of corvettes, you think of the C6.R and ZR1’s, Z06’s and coupes… not many people associate performance with convertibles… well this car may change that as it blows past your race car.
If you saw this silver ‘vert roll up at the stoplight you might think to yourself, “self, why would someone bother modding a ‘vert?” and then you’d probably think “why is this ‘vette next to me quietly pounding the ground” and then as it pulls off you hear it sit on the converter and the turbos spool and you think to yourself “ZOMG MUZT HAZ CAR!”
Eibach x IFO conflict!
Posted on February 20th, 2011 by Stunna BEN - 1 CommentCategories: StreetTalk
Looks like IFO is on the same day as our Eibach event. Gotta show love to IFO, there are going to be some great runs there! In fact, the most wanted grudge run of import drag racing will be there, Tony1 vs Miller.
As you know, Voodoo, Rodrez, and myself have been throwing one of the most publicized and featured events over the last 7 years…The Eibach Meet. In worldwide publications you see it, you see countless “my eibach pics” threads, everyone from the racers to the show cars come out to educate and show off the year’s hard work. It’s meeting grounds for all… BUT… after reading once we look around:
[quote=HybridMT]Wish we could do on a different date, but this is not some parking lot event that can be scheduled just any day. There are only so many dates open with the Las Vegas track.
Hard Parkers will enjoy the meet, while racers enjoy Judgement day. Hopefully next year the track with have another date available so all can get together at one event.

Free promotion for IFO! Cannot wait to see videos. The race will be epic and go down in history as one of the most anticipated races in 2011. I will stay on the classy tip though, and not down your sanctioned racing body. Media gets all over on the same day right?
