Default First Show

I took the MSTR3SS to her first show today, turnout was low, but I got to visit with some cool people.


Even better, If I had a helmet I could have run some laps


Hope for more people Tomorrow

I forgot to mention, She got lots of compliments and much talk about the color, and how most Monte's around are just beat down and how that is a shame

I have secured a helmet for Tomorrow, will see if someone can take pics or a video for me.
after a few practice runs of course

Any tips on high bank track with a street car are welcomed and wanted

Can someone tell me how to upload a video?
I did get a couple tries at a few laps today and had someone record one of the runs, and want to share

Can I ask, what color is it? Custom, white, or pure white??

My '02 was "White" (as GM calls it) and I ALWAYS got compliments on it.. It gave off this kinda "pearl" shine to it..

Same way you do photo's download it to the Computer and click on the paper clip and then browse and attach. it can only be 5MB so if you are more than that you will want to make a gif or put a link on it to Facebook or youtube. hope that helps.

Oh and when you go around the track stick your foot in the Radiator and don't let up until you have to pit.

Chevy called it cappuccino frost, it's like a metallic sand color. I've never seen another car this color

Cool

Looks good but next time let your sister or your Grandmother film the Car on the Track and you drive it.
