So by some weird stroke of luck, I got a hold of media passes from work for free. Captured about 150+ pics from the event. No action shots, Im sure Jtuned has a better camera for that. All pics were taken at 2048x1536, but I uploaded only a 800x600 version. If you want a pic at a larger size, e-mail me or reply on this thread. OG size is about 1.5mb each.

I had work today so I don't have pics of D1GP All-Star (Sunday)

Couple of fav pics: www.illusivedesigns.net/kn1ves/d1gp

I also took 2 vids, if someone could please upload them to youtube and link back, thatd be awesome.

Unfortunately, my camera's battery crapped out on me after that

I agree with both statements wholeheartedly. If Baby's wheel shows up on craigslist or eBay I'm down for a nice curbstomp.

Yeah, I was with Norm with Baby told us stuff got jacked from his car. That's totally fucked up. I man seriosuly, the car's wrecked already. No need to make ti worse by stealing shit from it.

The car crashed headfirst into the big bank wall on Driver Search day.

The wheel was stolen sometime Saturday.
WHen Alex (car owner) and I got there Saturday, we went to check out his car and there were a bunch of people taking pictures of it and Dudes trying to take stuff.
Fucking ridiculous.
So basicly, somebody went into his car and stole the steering wheel.
I think it was a Sparco suede 350 with a detach hub. NRG I think.

So now, in addition to a new car he has to build, he needs to get a steering wheel too.

edit: saw above post


that sucks, car looks completely beyond repair... maybe the next car he builds he will extend the cage into and around the engine bay..


there really shouldnt have been anyone other than team members and employees in that area..

like 75% of the people attending were dirtbags, guess you cant leave the car unlocked at any time

Like I said, it crashed into the wall during driver search.

Judging by the looks of his car hes probaly not having the best weekend and to steal his steering wheel on top of it thats fuckin gay

Yeah that sucks about his car and he just got it repainted didn't he?
I hate scumbags who steal other hardworking people's shit, its just not right
Brian
12-17-2006, 09:15 PM
Yeah we were working on it all the way up to the time Driver Search started.
The day before, the motor was having problems all day.
Really shitty week to say the least.

he got pulled over sunday night right outside the speedway.. 2 cops had him.. i dunno but looks like the pulled him over wiht intent to get shit on him.. I wonder waht he did.. Becuase at the end of the events cops are waiting outside anyways directing traffic etc.. he musta did something.

dam was Baby's car sitting at a booth or in the pit area?? I went sunday so I didnt see it in any booths.. jus dunno how people could surround it if it was in the back pit area

this car was pretty badass... they should get it BAR inspected to be street legal

wow, i saw him getting out and i got out after 5min... i saw cops but didn't see his car on the side.. can't really do anything stupid overthere cause there were lots of cars heavy traffic towards freeway entrance. he might just have bad luck with his car or they ran his plates quick.
i saw a cop walking around the show. full on uniformed cop looking at all the show cars.

Nice pics, sorry to hear about the car... Dont hate on everyone in Cali tho, I mean I have to admit we do have some stupid f***s out here but not all of us are stupid little wannabe thugs like the ones who stole the steering wheel. Best of luck with the rebuild and I hope whoever stole the steering wheel gets what he f***ing deserves...

I didn't hear anything about nitekids car but I DID hear about Steve's car getting pulled over. It was the blue s14 kouki next to the weld s14 in the tein booth. So it was nitekids car that was pulled over?
HyperTek
12-18-2006, 04:56 PM
maybe it was that one i dont know.. every freaking kouki s14 looks the same

I saw it get pulled over. I was about 2 cars ahead. I saw the kouki s14 pulled out and bam, cops right behind him. Might have been because his headlamp was out?
