Shindig Reflections by Hood

[sytyguy]

To those of you who missed the event.....well you definitely missed THE event. We had an absolute blast this year, and cannot thank the JSM crew enough for making it down.

Here's what I learned:

- You CAN go truckless to a SyTy event 8 years in a row and still not care.
- When you hit your late 20's, your voice goes hoarse quicker.
- Tim's teeth slap together at about 80 dB when you collide carts at full speed.
- Your teeth do too.....you just didn't hear them over Tim's.
- Drunk non-SyTyers in parking lots need knocking out before they call hotel management.
- Dennis was more than happy to supply the knockout.
- Jordan makes chicken money by breeding snakes.
- Pope has gastrointestinal problems that only arise when 2 or more SyTys are gathered.
- Tuning Adam's truck makes it slower.
- Tuning Mario's truck makes it faster.
- No tuning on Dennis' truck makes it really fast.
- Me not getting near Campbell's truck made it ridiculously fast.
- The JSM crew are welcome at my parties anytime.
- Dobrick sh*t his pants and just didn't tell anyone. 300ft drops do that to you.
- Dobrick looked like this (pic) when I came down that hill in the cart.
- Duncan can't scratch out Sharpie marker for sh*t.
- Duncan can make sure that if he doesn't get a free cart ride, then neither does Pope.
- I saw Jeff for a total of 72 minutes the whole weekend.
- Mike Scott sucks at spending time with kids.
- Mike Scott (and me and Pope) kick azz at scratching out Sharpie marker.
- Adam almost killed a guy with a Syclone.
- Cops and hotel management still don't like SyTyers.
- Linda Flynn.....
- The BBQ guy is the MVP of the Shindig.
- 75lbs of BBQ sounds like enough food for an event.....it is.....it really is.
- Gary's idea of a shot > My idea of a shot.
- Lincoln owners can't see RVs parked behind them (inside joke for Pope).
- Ian is still sore from being on the defense all night Friday.
- When putting name tags in a box for the raffle....remove lanyards.
- Never enter a raffle with Mario....he wins everything.
- Duncan should now make an illegal U-turn.
- Don's Synoma looked like more fun than any SyTy there.
- Keith wants you to click the Ebid banner.
- I laughed WAY too much.

Thanks again to all who made it and made the event a memorable one for all.

Hotel front desk supervisor. Basically flipped on us and changed all the arrangements the hotel had made with us. Called the cops even.

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

Of the 72 minutes I was around, I did get to see this.

Mental note for anybody have a WRITTEN contract with hotel ahead of time and in hand. Pass out copies if needed.

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

Rough crowd I guess... :rotf: Back in the day I can remember some get together's I went to that that were a bit rowdy.:lol:

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

Wasn't really US, unless you call a single boost launch rowdy.

It was the drunk a-hole walking by that thought his life was endager by us.

:rotf: You know I'm just bustin ya ballz with the 72 min crap, Jeff. I understand what kept you away, and I can't say that I haven't been in a similar predicament. Next time, we'll chit-chat more.

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

O trust me, I know and I would bust anybody elses balls had to tides been turned.

Hell Dobrick tried to take a picture of my ass on the ride home. No flash = no picture.

Still not sure why he wanted a picture of my ass on his crackberry.

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

Continuing in the spirit of your post:

- Jeff looked shorter then I remember (pic)
- A RWD synoma can do 3 separate burnouts trying to get to highway speed.
- Its surprisingly easy to convince people to put on sombreros
- The plumbing at the hotel was severely underpowered
- Donaters rule, and never get enough love.
- syty women are amazing, I think they have enough members for formalize a union and retaliate.
- No matter how much work you put into your truck, theres another guy out there that puts you to shame.
- It requires 6+ people to park more then 3 syty's in a strait line
- 2 beds, 4 guys, the pillow talk is disturbing.
- You CAN go truckless to a SyTy event 8 years in a row and still not care. (but people will talk about you behind your back)
- No one you ever meet looks like what you pictured... except Jordan.
- Vipers have a real problem 60 footing on the street
- I'm missing a pair of underwear, and I'm pretty sure they were stolen, not lost. I'd like them back Jeremy... clean please.
- You can show up in a foreign country, with no truck, on the last night, and still make 20 new friends.
- Doug will be missed.
- My voice cracks like a 14 year old when I see a skyline
- My no-tuning 20g is still faster then Adam's pte52 (with tuning)
- Bringing your girl along to a testosterone and gasoline filled event CAN turn out very nicely.
- Doctors say 4 out of 4 guys can fart on command after waking up.
- You may have a meat fetish when you don't want to shut the oven door because you cant see it.
- I spent 10% of my time not laughing. Of that time: 2% was sleep, 2% food, and 6% figuring out how soon we could do this again.

Thanks everyone, I had a ****ing blast and can't wait for the next one.

if i had brought it, the world would have come to an end... at least we know hell would have been frozen over.

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

All well said and I totally agree.

A few of mine own:

Hood will push little kids out of the way to get to the front of a go kart line.
Dennis Ty is one of the 5 best looking trucks I have ever seen!
IF I had my truck at the shindig, I would have went to jail.
Scott Kilpatrick wants to kick everone's ass.
Add go karts to the long line of things that own Dobrick.
Of the 28hrs on the road we spent to and back Jeff Scott slept 24 of them.
Lawn maintence people in Florida make alot more $ then in Indiana.
The FAST & GAST guys & Gals are all cool!

Thanks for having us northerners. Hope you guys can make to Nats 2009 @ Bowling Green!!!!

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

- Hood is great at running a laptop with Datamaster/TunerPro/Cat up until your about to pull up into the staging lanes....then the laptop suddenly doesnt work.

- Running to way rich does affect performance....until you pay a toll and suddenly the truck starts hauling ass as you leave the toll booth.

- My name is Scott Kilpatrick and I will kick your ass.

- BBQ at midnight after the track is a yummy treat

- Most people agreed that Dunc doesnt look like you think he would in person.

- Dunc knows stuff.... good stuff.

- Mexican hats are great for registration mug shots. Hats courtesy of J. Sullivan.

- Drinking alot of NOS and LOST drinks makes for a serious caffiene withdraw when you stop drinking them.

- Dennis Harmon secretly lives a life of a body guard.

- My kid likes parking lot boost launches

- Drunk hotel guests and hotel managment do not like parking lot boost launches

- Cop's decision: SyTy Shindig 1 Drunk Person 0

- Apparently, the limited edition pink SyTy Shindig shirts where a hit among the ladies. Now I gotta get more.

- Putting someone in a fast Typhoon who hasnt been in one for 3 years puts a permanent smile on their face. Mark was lovin it.

- Pope has a special bathroom aroma that can peel wallpaper.

- Mike Scott doesnt give a rats ass, they arent his kids.

- Apparently, being 35ft away from a moving truck is considered to being almost being run over.

- While hiding and looking down from the 3rd floor, the parking lot looked like the pics of Nats 98 with a crowd of SyTy people surrounding a cop. Funny stuff.

- Always have a spare shirt close by. Once I changed my shirt, the drunk guy couldnt pick me out of the crowd anymore

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

Ain't my kid.......I don't give a f*ck!

Ahhhh....to be that drunk and still standing.....that guy ruled.

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

2 additions:

- Duncan was financially generous for buying Dobrick's cart rides Sat. night. Almost TOO generous.
- People from Indiana might look like they weigh 150 or 160 lbs, but in reality they only weigh 25 lbs and can catch your azz in a go-cart like no one else. Georgians and Floridians on the other hand weigh MUCH more than they look like.

I vote for go-cart weight ballasts next year.

Hiding.....that's the key word there. :lol:

You would have thought the guy had 2 wallets the way he was just throwing money around.

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

I want to know how come the guy that stirred up the entertainment from the boost launch/drunk guy was no where to be found when the cops showed up?

I may have been missing most of the weekend, but come on....

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

Hiding.....that's the key word there. :lol:

LMAO. I walked out the door with Cailin and saw the 5-0 roll up. Figured Id hang out and watch before coming down as to make sure the lil one wouldnt have to possibly see dad in cuffs.

If I would have thought about it sooner, I would make sure to give the cop a shirt along with take a pic with the mexi hat :tup:

Re: Shindig Reflections by Hood

I think we all learned somethiing... Myself....

- A 10 year old kid owned 8 syty guys (put 3 into the wall)... Priceless
- The 500hp Synoma is still just a Sonoma with new tires every other week
- The 1st boost launch will never be forgotten. Therefore I will have me a SY before we meet again
- Proven fact that some drunk men flail their arms and complain as much as a sober woman.
- I can forget about going to Sonny's, Woody's, and Fat boy's for another year. Nothing would compare to the Q we had this weekend.
- What the hell is Jost Cadillac? Not a good chaser for Vodka. I know that much.
- As said before: People really do make the meets and this was def a good group of peeps. Thank you allowing me to be a part of it!

That kid was the next Louis Hamilton and he weighed 25 lbs (or about what Duncan apparently weighs).

It's Lost Cadillac and it's nasty. The Five-O tastes just like Khaos (even says Monster Energy on the can), but the Cadillac tastes like they made it just for mixing.

You are welcome with the group any time Don.....with or without a truck.
