Well, it's not as if this hobby has ever had a history of attracting bad eggs or delinquents or anything... I seem to recall this is the exact hobby we, er ah, THOSE kinds of people gravitated to in the early days.
Johnno having a wet dream..... http://www.frontiernet.net/~face440/Chevy_ballet.wmv OK....they're chevy's - maybe a nightmare ?? (BTW, thats a new TrailBlazer SS with 400hp LS2 dancin' with the Vette....Im getting in line for one)
:laugh: :laugh: Mark, You obviously don't know Ronny :laugh: :laugh: He's done all of the above. This is nothing new ou: :3gears: See my Avitar, I took the picture, Guess who was behind the wheel, Yup Tufbuick Ronny :Brow:
You really tore up the pavement on that one. Great burnout, will there be a follow up in Bowling Green?
Johnno has plenty of experiece doing what he did. I was there....at no time did he get close to any parked cars or pedestrians. The parking lot was huge and he was under control at all times. Hell, i'd rather be dodge'in Johnno in the parking lot instead of some 80 year old that can barely see over the wheel and is whacked out on meds :laugh: Peace WildBill

GO-----------------------------------JOHNNO------------------------------GO !!!!!!!
seems to me all the whining is coming from the minority. curious do you go to these events and meet these people you got so much to say about? I do, Johnno does. or do you sit behind your computer and blindly judge other peoples actions? i'll tell you this Johnno is the most stand up guy i know (period). do you honestly think people were running and screaming and the F.B.I. were taking rubber samples? let me tell you this if Johnno or any of us are asked not to burn'em up, we wont. if we are egged on, you know nudge nudge are you gonna do are burnout. hey Johnno lets see a smokeshow. we all know whats gonna happen. lots of smoke. believe me there were plenty of the buick faithful there egging him on. why not come and meet us at one of these events? you might actually come to like us.
Ken, The burnout pictures make it seem worse than it was. I was there, the car actually is moving very slowly, his foot was on the brake at all times. There were no people in the parking lot, and it was a big lot. I know if you met Johnno, you would like him. He happens to be a very nice guy. I think you are judging him harshly. This kind of thing happens at alot of Buick Events because Buicks are great for doing burnouts. Did he get carried away? Yeah maybe, but Johnno just loves to do burnouts. After the scare he had in Norwalk :laugh: I think he will be more careful in the future. Maybe, an empty parking lot (like in Salem) is more appropriate.
we all know what you are, troublemaker. seems you never got nothing but nasty things to say. you dont like us fine. why not just ignore our threads and we'll ignore yours.
MAYBE I'LL DO THAT IN BOWL-ING GREEN.........IF I GET THE URGE !!!!!!!! :moonu: :moonu: :moonu: :moonu: WHAT THE HELL...............YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, AND IT IS THE TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY............NO, MAYBE ON THE STARTING LINE WHILE RICHARD HANDS ME MY TROPHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I for one completley condone this behavior. It lets people know, oh I don't know, YOU ARE NOT DEAD!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but I do not know of someone loosing control, doing a burn out, and killing someone...good god man! o No:
Just for the record, we don't stay at that hotel, just go there to eat. Most of the hotel personnel, didn't care, and thought it was just us having some fun! In fact, I stopped there on Monday afternoon on the way home, just to check on some other things, and the comments were not condemning at all, just 'us' doing crazy things, at least there wasn't any lemon throwing as in the past 2 years in the banquet room. I got a thank you note from the sales lady today as a matter of fact, and she can't wait for 2006, but that's up in the air! Johnno learned a lesson, I hope, his burnouts will be on the track, I hope. :spank: :spank: :spank: :ball: :ball: :ball: Where is he anyway? I hope he made it safely back to Mass with the new engine. :beer :beer :beer :beer :3gears: :3gears: :3gears:
John, Whether I've met someone or not is not the issue and no I try not to dislike someone I've never met. I'm not calling John's character into question simply because of where he did a burnout. I'm calling into question the lapse of judgement about when and where he did it. Good grief man, your response sounds like something I'd hear from my 19 yr old son and his friends ( "let me tell you this if Johnno or any of us are asked not to burn'em up, we wont" and "there were plenty of the buick faithful there egging him on") The local cops don't take lightly being called out (neither does the F.D) to calls like these. I've been around long enough to have seen cruise spots shut down by this type of stuff. One guy can ruin it for everyone. Do you want all of us Buick folks or car guys in general to get a bad rap when any events do take place? What do you think is going to happen next year? If everyone wants to see some heavy duty burnouts (and who doesn't ) then see what can be done at the event itself so everyone can see and enjoy the show. BTW, I would love to come and meet in person a lot of the folks I've communicated with here and plan on doing so when my schedule allows. Peace
My grandparent's and older people in my family used to tell me all about their days, my grandpa said that back in '69 when he bought his new '69 chevelle SS 396 4 speed, he said that the cops around here would actually watch you do burnouts if they were bored, he said notta once did he ever get pulled over for doing a burnout or street racing untill around '75 he says. He says he used to do doughnuts in parking lots at nighttime and used to sit at red stoplights and hold it back untill the car was covered in smoke and used to screech the tires in three gears straight. :Brow: I wish I could have been around this town back then. And it was even bigger then than now. He said he could've gotten into trouble enough to be in debt for paying tickets for the rest of his life if it weren't for the "troublelovin" cops back then. And of course he admits it was very stupid and dangerous and the like, but we know how that goes. I say we live once on earth, and the afterlife is much different. Burnouts on abandoned highways are the funnest place to do it in my opinion :3gears: :3gears: :3gears: :3gears: :3gears: :bglasses: :TU:
