Met up with Tim, Mike K and Mikes Blaw Dave last nite. Fair size gathering, maybe 100 cars spread arounf at the Ace Hardware, the lumber yard and acrros the street. Little bit of everything to see.

Dave brought his 2010 Challenger.....Mr Norms Dodge tuned to 1000 hp / 848 rear wheel hp....WOW!

Decide to leave around 8pm or so and on the way out the local law enforcment officials were doing traffic control on the main street. As I approached he motioned me over to stop and simply said "light em up", not expecting that I confirm to make sure of his request and indicated for me to wait for a mini van that was pulling out and go for it. I obliged with a 2nd gear 7000rpm burnout for about 80 or so feet. I must say it was fun and I think I may have been the first becasue I never heard any prior to leaving. My guess is that there were a few more after mine. I think if they do another I plan to go and stick aroung a bit later to watch and see if they allow burnouts again next time!

Does that Dodge still have a warranty? Very cool, glad you had a good time & good to see Mike is still around.

Dodge warranty I doubt. Driveline must be coverd by Mr norm for a certain period. Probably not lifetime though. :roll:
