Before the idiots in Pigeon Forge got the whole thing shut down, the show was really cool! Here's a quick look at some of the amazing rides on display Saturday. I'm still bummed that the didn't get the chance to be showcased today as planned...

The few ruined it for the many. I was on my way to the convention center with this morning to be featured today in the Slammedenuff show when I heard from a friend that it was canceled altogether. I thought he was joking. He was not. Last night was already getting out of hand when we left in the at about 9:45. Non-stop crackle tune revving and popping, burnouts, driving aggressively, pedestrians walking in traffic, and complete gridlock with people 'blocking the box' at every intersection. Is it really so difficult to proceed through once it's clear to do so, as both common sense and the law requires? Now there won't be another such show held here, and the large sums of money it generated will go elsewhere. It's shameful, and for the rest of us in the car enthusiast community, it's embarrassing. If you wanna act a fool, don't come to these official events. You cost the rest of us a lot of precious time, money, and standing in the car community.

Had to flog the 2003 we just got done refreshing on my private driveway/racetrack. New synthetic engine/trans/rear fluids and filters, freshly rebuilt posi rear end with new bearings/seals/control arms, new premium front brake pads and rotors, new parking brake shoes, new front upper control arms, new tires---she's READY TO RIP! Ice cold AC, drives great, will make the 14 hour trip to the Freedom Factory with ease next week, in case Cleetus McFarland needs another cheap for the 2.4 Hours Of on FRDMplus next month. I'm still hoping to earn a spot in the big show, after the winning the Van Prix at FF and then forgoing a repeat win to go full Jim York in the at Indy while leading the race. After decades behind the wheel of these police interceptors---racing them, daily driving them, and patrolling in them---I'm ready! PUT ME IN, CLEET!

Took a little flight up the Tail of the Dragon in the this evening, with my friend Hank following in the . We caught the sunset on the way up. Lots of slammed and stanced rides in the area for Slammedenuff Gatlinburg this weekend. Mrs. Speedycop and I will be in the area Saturday in the , and Sunday the will be in the indoor show.. I'll be leaving it there to go to church in the morning, then returning for the rest of the day Sunday. Come out and say Hi if you're in the area!

My friend Jerry Christopher did a few excellent AI mockups of what a Speedycop line of Hot Wheels could look like. I can't help but think the smaller versions would be best sellers. Anyone else agree?

NEW CESSNA WORLD RECORD!!!
Thanks to the careful track prep here at Beech Bend Raceway for Holley Ford Festival , the Ford Performance Parts/ Ford Racing plug-and play 2.3L ECU and harness, the U.S. Shift 6R80 transmission controller, and the excellent (non-dyno) tune by Josh Newman of 5 Star Tuning on the HP Tuners program, the 1956 went 12.37 at 111.39 MPH Friday night! What's more, it did the same 12.37 @111 again immediately following. The previous best was 12.92@109 (also back-to-back) at Bradenton Motorsports Park. As consistent as this thing is, I should probably start bracket racing it..

A HUGE thanks to my sponsors for helping make this happen! Not too shabby for a beat-up old fuselage that was being scrapped 13 years ago after 40 years of abandonment, slapped on a cut-down 1987 chassis, by the and I and raced in The 24 Hours of Lemons. It was a big hit with the crowd here in Bowling Green all weekend as we autocrossed, drag raced, did the burnout competition, and 3S (Start/Steer/Stop) challenge. Thanks to Holley for another FANTASTIC event!

We're here at Holley Ford Festival with the . So many cool rides and competitions! I already made 3 autocross passes, and drifting is going on now. I'll be drag racing at 7, then rushing over to change tires and do burnouts at 7:30, so the timeline is gonna be challenging. If you're at the event, the plane is parked above the drift/autocross track, right by Sleeperdude88 . Come say hi!

This was definitely outside of my comfort zone, but funny enough to do it anyway!

I was hoping to rip burnouts at the 20th anniversary of Ice Cream Cruise in Iowa this weekend, but there's a ton of stiff competition for the 50 spots with, killer pro burnout cars from all over the US and Australia headed there, so my and didn't make the cut. That means we will be taking the to Holley Ford Festival in Bowling Green, Kentucky again.. I'm entered in the Vintage Grand Champion class, so I'll be competing in drag racing, autocross, 3S (think slalom and braking), car show, and hopefully the burnout competition as well. The plane is a lot faster than the previous competition, so I'm excited to see what it can do! Anyone else going?
